I wish I had this available to me when I came of age…
But having it available for today’s girls
is the next best thing!!!
is the next best thing!!!
What if…
Before you got your first period your Mom not only
talked openly about it, but was excited for you?
What if…
She celebrated it with you rather than shushing you into the bathroom with a box of pads?
What if…
When you got your first period you felt prepared
and empowered?
A while ago I was approached by Jessica Jarman-Hayes, a fabulous young artist, who asked me to write a booklet for a First Period Kit she was creating.
Little did I know, when I excitedly accepted, how talented this young lady was!
The result is a full color, stunningly beautiful booklet, which far exceeded my expectations!
It was a joy to write, and an honor to have it be part of an empowering First Period Kit!
What a delight to have it for celebrating a loved-one’s arrival into the sacred cycle of womanhood.
