The inspiration for Silverwearables by Julia began during a 10 month journey with breast cancer treatments. I needed a way to support my mind, and my spirit, during a difficult time. A few synchronistic events led me to find a passion in exploring my creative side
I love jewelry, am drawn to silver, and love the concept of upcycling. I began playing with recycled cutlery, some I found at thrift stores, and some was gifted to me. It was the perfect way for me to feel inspired, rather than negative, and fearful….a “Silver Lining” in my journey.
I believe staying inspired was a huge benefit that enabled me not only to survive, but to thrive, through treatments, and beyond.
I believe my cancer experience came to wake me up, and to open my heart to the miracle that life is. It has guided me to show up differently in life, with more purpose, more passion, more joy, and more compassion.
That is the gift, and the “silver lining”.
Julia also runs the Silver Linings Fund. She collects gift cards for groceries & pharmacy needs. These go directly to individuals currently in treatment for breast cancer here in Nova Scotia.
Why I wanted to give back…
I completed treatment for breast cancer in May 2019. I am grateful for the support I felt while in it and blessed to have come out the other side having learned there is an opportunity to grow through the struggle. I created the “Silver Linings Fund” to support other women in my community faced with a similar diagnosis. I wanted to offer assistance to women who are at risk and struggling financially, with gift cards for groceries and pharmacy needs.
I want to plant seeds of hope, have them feel supported and remind them of the strength they have within themselves to handle what they are being faced with.
The Silver Linings Fund is a heart centered venture that “lights me up”, fuels my sense of purpose and brings me back to my true self. It is my belief that finding your joy, and finding a way to serve others with it is a key to finding inner peace, self healing and raising your vibration.
Love and Light,
The gift cards go directly to the women in need that are going through treatment for Breast Cancer here in Nova Scotia.
