My friend and coach Gillian is the creator and organizer of an amazing local event, Move with Meaning. It got its start last year, when 50 women attended a four-hour, six-instructor fitness challenge and raised just shy of $10,000 for Haven Society, a non-profit society that provides shelter services to women and families in unsafe home situations. This year, we had 100 women participating, and we raised nearly $22,000 for Haven!

In addition to participating in the fitness event, I made 100 Body Positivity cards for the participants’ swag bags. I hope these cards will remind everyone that ALL bodies are beautiful, and that body confidence and self-love are not size-specific!

Have you ever wondered what a stack of 100 handmade cards looks like? I have. Wonder no more:    Here’s a photo of the amazing group of women who spent the day working out together in support of Haven Society:

And a sweaty selfie of yours truly, partway through the day!
I’m so glad I got to participate in this, and that I got to use my creative skills to honour all the participants!
