“The Ripple of Words”
Thirty days of letters filled with words.
Words written for the best of days.
Words written for the days in which your heart seeks a reminder amidst a world that can feel incredibly isolating,
Words in which you can find true belonging.
*The Ripple of words is a compilation of letters & writings composed by members of the sINgSPIRE Virtual Choir along with members of the cystic fibrosis community.
Designs exclusively created by
“Say Anything...Jewelry” by Stephanie Wilde.
40% of the proceeds from each design will go to support cystic fibrosis.
Each exclusive Breathe Bravely piece has a symbol of the arrow.
“Why the arrow? The arrow symbolizes my journey with Cystic Fibrosis:
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it’s going to launch you into something great, so just focus, and keep aiming.””
