I’ve posted about Metal Marvels before. This is a company that has become so dear to me. I encourage people to shop small because you get a personal touch and @katieseller has gone above and beyond for me. Only 6 year ago, Katie created this business out of nothing, and has turned it into an empire. Her customers rival anyone else's with loyalty. She owns who she is in a way most people only wish they could. An incident in high school crushed her self esteem, something I think a lot of women can relate to. Years later she was able to see no one else's opinion of you matters. Fully embrace who you are. She began the company because there was no jewelry she felt she could identify with, a huge emotional heart, that curses like a sailor!
Katie also gifted me the ‘be brave and keep going’ when Kimmy was in the hospital last year. We barely knew each other then, the minute she found out, a bangle in that phrase was mailed to me unexpectedly. She moved to Las Vegas and our friendship grew. I was supposed to be at her house that Sunday, not the hospital. I vaguely remember telling Brandon to text her and tell her I wasn't going to make it to feed her cat. You have some really weird thoughts when you go into shock. Again the minute she found out, she went into full fundraiser mode and raised $1500 for us in one day. She is an amazing person, with a good heart, and a great company.
I happened to be wearing the ‘scars are evidence we have lived, & Nevertheless she persisted’ bracelets on the morning of May 20. I am choosing to see that as a sign. I have a new scar, the ones where Sawyer, and Max came before are gone. Each one cut out for the newest arrival. This scar is only Anna's. It marks me where she was brought into the world. She was only here a moment but the impact and good she brought with her will be felt my whole life. She is a legacy in the most pure way. She is gone but nevertheless she will persist.
Today I did some retail therapy and picked up some new reminders from her 'I AM' collection. Each bangle benefits a different charity, Katie seriously is one of the most giving CEO's ever. I chose, I AM STRONG, I AM KIND, I AM NOT FINISHED YET. These bangles show my hardest days, and I wear them trying to move forward, knowing she’s behind me every step of the way ❤️ thank you Katie, I’m ever so grateful for your friendship. Please give her a follow and remember the next time you need to give a meaningful gift. I have included a link to get 15% off your next order. Because trust me, everyone needs these affirmations in their life.
