I Wanted To Keep My Husband Walking….
8 years ago, my husband had terrible emergency back surgery and the doctors told me he might not walk. AFter surgery they told me he needed the very best pillows but couldn’t recommend one to fit his needs.
That is the moment that I thought –why can’t I build my own pillow making machine that uses only the finest ingredients? And a pillow that fits each person just like shoes –one size does not fit all and shoulder size definitely matters.
I headed to the garage with a mission. No, I’m not an engineer, but never underestimate the perseverance of a middle aged woman on a mission who has her own power tools!
Nine years later and my life has truly changed for the better. I get up each day with enthusiasm and sing my way to work happy with what I do and knowing that we help many people besides just my own husband. It gives me joy, it gives me purpose and it gives me incredible satisfaction to know what we do everyday makes a difference in so many people’s lives.
