The Little Bears That Could: Real Generosity

For as often as I am driven completely mad by my fellow humans and want to swear off the species entirely- I am consistently taken aback and overwhelmed by the decency and genuine kindness I find in so many people.

Lillunia is a young but mighty company and we are so grateful for the wonderful reviews and press we have received so far in our brief lifetime. Our work is currently being reviewed by The Eco Chic (
www.theecochic.com) … and yesterday they sent us an e-mail. They let us know that they had received our work…and had some very kind words to say about it. Then to our surprise and delight, the generous woman writing the email asked for our permission to allow them to use the art for a silent auction at her church…as they are trying to raise money for Haitian relief efforts.

I can’t tell you how I felt…so touched by her gesture, so honored to be a part of the relief, as well as feeling the great satisfaction in knowing that something we created was being used in such a noble way.

The “things” we create…children, animals and art included—we send off into the world and hope they will do something wonderful- affect positive change and bring happiness…and, in this case, something we created has done exactly that.

Thank you The Eco Chic for being wonderful and generous and making us feel happy to be human.
