I don’t know about you but I’ve been home a lot. Spring is here, I’m vaccinated, and I’m looking forward to going places in my car. I want to go visit people. I want to go shopping and to events. It is time to see my car more in a parking lot and less in

The news these days is heartbreaking. Like you, I continually ask myself what more I could be doing to promote racial harmony and understanding. Many of you must feel the same.

As much of the country reopens, we are staying vigilant about cleanliness and keeping to an every-other-day shipping schedule to reduce outside exposure. We know that the comfort our materials bring to people who are under stress is valuable, so we will continue to serve hospitals, schools, care facilities, churches, and everyone else as safely

In January, we sent out 2,000 free samples of our Comfort and Healing booklet along with a coupon code for 25% off, expiring May 1st. Little did we know that by May 1st, the need for them would be astronomical. Consequently, we are extending the sale for another two weeks.  (Since our 3rd printing was more expensive, we can’t keep this up forever.)
