Your company has given me my voice back! Your t-shirts and slogans are about real life.
My own story...like many women who raised a family and believed in the "ever after", I found myself divorced
after 21 years. I thought that was the worst that could happen, but then my daughter got sick and then I got
cancer. Life has a funny sense of humor.....you think it can't get any harder, but that is where your company
helped me. It showed me we have a choice to either "SURVIVE" life or "LIVE" it.
Today I am happily married to a man who gave up his country [Canada] and a great job to move to
Massachusetts to marry me. My daughter's health is doing better [she has sclerodema and psoratic arthritis
and crone's disease] and is starting college in 2 weeks. I wear your t-shirts and BELIEVE in your company.
Liv'n Out Loud! represents REAL LIFE.
Your inspirational words and great humor makes each day one of hope!
Sincerely,

It took me almost two whole years to realize that I had to start living my life the way I wanted to.
When I was around 16 years old, I started realizing that I was gay. The problem was that at the time I was living in a very small village in Argentina, and people there were not necessarily what you could call open-minded about other people's sexuality. To make matters worse, I come from a fairly conservative family, and coming out to them was extremely hard. When I finally did it, they weren't very supportive, and actually treated me like if I was some kind of freak. Strangely enough, my brother was the most open-minded person in my whole family. He helped me a lot in dealing with everything and everybody. My mother thought it was something I was doing to get back at her for God knows what, so it was kinda hard for me living my life at that time.
So, I started to hide my true self from people close and not so close to the family. Eventually, I got tired of repressing those feelings, that I decided to go down that path, not caring if other people though it was wrong or whatever. It took me almost two whole years to realize that I had to start living my life the way I wanted to.
So now I'm literally livn out loud, enjoying life to its fullest and having great fun. Isn't that what it's all about?
