"I hope this blanket offers you the hope that you need to move on with your life, that it empowers you to take that next step and supports you as you begin to heal. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you take each step forward." |
"May we all be blessed to wrap ourselves in the love and hope that the Joyful Heart Foundation provides. There is love and joy in Mariska's message, and may we always remember to hold our heads high, and know that the power to survive is within ourselves. We do not have to be held hostage by our circumstance." |
"I wish I had the right words. So many have been there, which is a horrible thing. I am not sure there is a way to forget, but I do think there is a way to heal and to find yourself and joy again. Please know that there are people thinking about you and while they wish that this was not a part of your story, they believe that it doesn't have to be your whole story. Don't let your abuser take more from you than he or she already has. I wish you peace." |
"I am a victim of domestic abuse. This is the first time that I've wrote about it. Be strong, things WILL get better. Time heals. It may not seem so now, but trust me it will. You are beautiful, important and worthy of love and happiness. Don't ever, ever forget that." |
"Stay strong; as long as there is love, all things are possible." |
"God will be with you always, no matter what. Keep the faith and you will get through anything that life throws at you and emerge stronger and victorious!" |
"Dear Beautiful Survivor,
Just as this blanket will comfort you, wrap yourself in the knowledge that your journey from a place of darkness to the achievement of a Joyful Heart has undoubtedly impacted many lives. Though I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you, I think about who you could be--a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend--and how much your story has impacted those who know and love you. There is no doubt in my mind that you have changed lives and will continue to do so. Though the road is rough, don't allow your past to define all that you are and all that you can be. Refuse to crumble and let your past steal a piece of your beautiful spirit. Shine your light far and wide, conquering the darkness and allowing a stronger woman to emerge. Being able to write to you and send you a Joyful Nuddle has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. I will think of you often and hope my gift to you has touched you in the same way that you have touched me. I wish you nothing but the best on your road to recovery! Never give up!" |
"You are amazing. Never give up hope and always believe that you are loved." |
