The world is pretty bomb, and the people in life that get to cross your path at some point are even more so. Take my friend Heather, though 5281 miles away from me in London and her in Arizona USA, manages to be an awesome encouragement and a big supporter in me, and what I am doing with Bamboo. Plus she sent me a handwritten letter a few weeks back that was just pure positivity so that alone gets big points. Anyway, back to Heather...she is super talented and has a big heart and with that you should totally know about her...
Firstly she makes amazing Jewellery. Taking bits and trinkets from her travels she constructs some really cool pieces that people just go wowzers at. Here are some of her stuff, which she sells under the name Ransom Me.
Yup, and this is yours truly rocking her very own goat/ram/cow skull necklace. I love it.
Shall I tell you what the actual most awesome part of this whole Ransom Me business is though? That through the sales of her products, proceeds of the profits go to help and support STREETLIGHTPHX an oganisation that helps eradicate child sex slavery in the USA. I love when people use their talents in such a giving way. I was super proud to read when she was able t donate her first cheque to the charity from her sales.
Another organisation that she is working with is something called Wallets for Water. This is pretty cool in the sense that after transforming donated used ties into super kitch wallets, the sale of every 200 wallets leads to a fresh water well being built in India! More information of the wallets can be found on their site, which you can go to by clicking the picture below.
I'm inspired, and I am glad that I have friends in my life that do that for me. How about you guys? I encourage you all to surround yourselves with amazing people who speak good into your life, push you in all you want to do and can have fun with! That will truly make a difference to your lives...in my opinion anyway.
