Layla’s birthstone jewelry collection is live just in time for Mother’s Day and we have sea lion / butterfly charms! https://cancerrevengers.com/collections/bracelets-page Proceeds to seal lions of some of the sales will continue. With your help, we raised over $2,000 for the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in what is an astounding and unprecedented toxicity event for sea lions, dolphins, birds and we’re told, even a whale! They sent us a note asking us to let you all know how grateful they were!
Layla’s birthstone is actually, and not at all surprising knowing her, a diamond. But crystal clear crystal quartz is a nice affordable and elegant alternative as it’s clear and pops, mimicking a diamond at a fraction of the cost! Everything ships same day/next day except one, her for the ocean bracelet which in final development (1-2 weeks more). We also introduced necklaces in her birthstone for the first time but they are in severely short supply and once they are sold, they are gone.

It’s been almost 2 1/2 months since her passing, and damn, I had to pause just even writing that. I know people are wondering how we are doing and well, there are bad days, and days that don’t suck as bad as the bad days. That’s about it. We have some more things to work through but then are hoping to get away for a bit for the first time since early 2019, in to nature, to let nature do what I always had hoped that it would do for Layla, heal. Losing her, we knew, was going to suck, but what that in-home care company did, and that Dr. that works for them, it added a layer of grief, at the time, I said was a mile thick. It’s more like ten miles thick. April really sucked because it was her birthday but also because, we had a review of the in-home company’s internal investigation with them. I had really hoped that their actions would match their words and all the “we are SO sorry,” and admitting what a disaster it was. We reviewed it, and two weeks after letting it sink in, I emailed the CEO and informed her that it was insufficient, incomplete, and incorrect. No reply. So, fine, we’ll do this the hard way, unfortunately. The fact that they refuse to take responsibility and make things right, those that know me know that I am fair and reasonable, until you do something stupid like they did, then the gloves are off, and they are with grievances files with the right agencies with so much more looming and available to us should we choose.
The birthstone jewelry line has been a nice distraction though, at times bittersweet. But we are healthy and, just grinding out life. It is not fair, it sucks big time, the mind just cannot fathom the how or why or the what in the world? It’s 2025 and the stuff we said would be long gone on New Years Even 1999, is not.
