Inspiration

My life has been one of a constant search, of finding myself in the most unexpected circumstances with the most unexpected people. I never had a good grasp on who I was, I was the daughter that rebelled against everything but I had no cause to fight for. I was the girlfriend that could not be pinned down, but I had nowhere to run. I remember constantly fighting for a girl inside, when I had no idea who she was.

My eyes weren't suddenly opened one day, but it was slow process, one of heartache and beauty, of pain and love, of discovery. Every stumble was a lesson.

I found myself craving something bigger than myself to fight for, to give me a reason to do what I do.

It started out with Kiva and wanting to build a network of people to build a foundation of dreams for others. But that wasn't quite it...

and then one day while wandering the halls of Michael's, looking to make a hair ornament for a dance...I had an epiphany and that was just the start.

I created Salt Rose to be not only a creative outlet for myself but also a place where I could build and contribute to all the causes that I hold dear.

That is my inspiration, that is what I fight for.

All the promotions, the craft fairs, the creative satisfaction that Salt Rose brings is only icing to the real purpose...to provide a way to me to make a difference.
