“I’m starting with the Man in the Mirror …
be the change you want to see …”
MJ, King of Pop.
Mama Birds out there can relate, once you enter the world of
motherhood, how does your heart not leap to those that have not? I remember holding my Ava in her first
few months of life as she was crying in the middle of the night, sitting up
rocking her back to sleep, safe and secure in my arms, wrapped within her Lovie. My thoughts instantly would go to those
in orphanages that might not receive such immediate loving attention. My best mommy friend at the time and
the actual designer of the Ava Bird, Staci, would say, “You can’t think like
that.” Meaning, it’s an endless
thought. Hopeless. Just be thankful that you are able to
hold and care for yours.
Think of how you send your loved, secure child off to a MDO
or time at a grandparents house, hopefully two trusted places, proven safe
through extensive research on your part.
You still arm him/her with a Lovie or security blanket of some kind,
even if only to be used at naptime.
John and I do with each of our 4.
My desire through Little Bird is to offer that sense of
“security” to those without.
Something that is just for them, consistently safe and loving. How thankful I am to have each one of
my children know exactly where they will lay their head down each night. Unfortunately that’s not an option for
some, and not necessarily by the fault of their guardians. Natural disasters as we see happening
each year around our nation and world can be the cause. And no man is an island anymore when it
comes to being impacted by the global economy, whether through loss of job, or
the increasing homeless population.
My hope is that the gift of a Little Bird Lovie or Blanket,
can provide a sense of ownership, independence, pride, security, warmth,
blissfulness, love. I want each recipient
to take ownership in their Lovie, their animal, whether it be the elegant
strength and poise found in our signature Ava Bird, the clever and smart wit of
our Leo Lion, the loveable uniqueness we see in our Maximus the Octopus, or the
spunky spiritedness spotted in Kalliope our Gecko.
I realize the importance of such a treasured possession from
watching my own children’s need for them. I also realize that a blanket or Lovie can offer
comfort to the older birds as well!
I sent one to my grandmother, who constantly reminds me how much joy she
gets from wrapping up in her Little Bird Blanket.
