Our guest, Brenda Jones did a lot more on our show than simply tell us about her company, Hug Wraps. She imparted to us that fiery spirit that says, “Take action now!”
When Brenda got cancer, she got angry! Angry at the situation and angry at that ridiculous, ugly hospital gown that takes away one’s dignity and simply makes you feel like a sick person. (while leaving you freezing cold in that hospital room to boot!)
Brenda says that by the time she got home from her first treatment, she had in mind to make herself a better gown. In her words,
“I couldn’t control the cancer and the treatments, but I could control what I wore!”
As she walked in her door from that treatment, her phone was ringing. As she vented to her friend on the other line, she heard the words, “Well, you are in luck. I’m a seamstress, and I’ll teach you how to sew.”
As soon as she hung up the phone, Brenda headed to the store and got everything she would need to get started on her new hospital gown, including buying a used sewing machine. After all, Brenda figured she would only be making ONE gown – for herself! Little did she know that she would make hundreds of these gowns for cancer patients everywhere. With each gown she is symbolically giving a hug and speeding someones healing.
Please listen to this great show! Not only will you be inspired by the fabulous story, but you will find yourself able to overcome procrastination and make a difference with YOUR calling. Rise up Divas! We know you have it in you!
