The Story of A Little Wordy

(and the power of positive thinking)

A Little Wordy began at my kitchen table just weeks after my teenage child was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.  

It began with doodling a little pink heart.  And then it went from there.

Thrown into a world that we needed to learn much about, I became very aware that the language we used was incredibly important.  And impactful.  The words we use matter.

What I said to my child in those early days - and every day - matter.

Words are powerful.  They can lift up or break down.  They can empathize or demoralize.  And the words that we use conjure up the thoughts that we think.  

So, my doodles began to take the shape of words.  Empowering words of understanding and empathy.  And words of what I wish for my child - both of my kids.  Peace. Love. Courage.  Create… and on.

The products came to be.  Tote bags, candles, cards.  All with words to inspire or understand.

Then came the book.  Filled with the words that explained the lessons we have learned along the way.

And finally, the gift tags.

All with the original heart front and centre.  A calling card of sorts.  A calling to end stigma, to support and empower, and to share sentiment and wisdom.

All through the words that we choose.

In honour of positivity over adversity, a portion of all sales of A Little Wordy products support mental health initiatives.
