Share your story

Tell your Angel Story…

You have heard the saying many times before, “sharing is caring,” it is usually said in a somewhat sarcastic way or with an intended bit of goofiness, but the reason the saying persists is the unequivocal truth to it.  Sharing IS caring, when you share something you are making an offering to the people around you, you are saying “this is what I have.  This is what I know.  You are worthy of enjoying it, of hearing it, or being a part of it with me.”

And it is this exact notion that has invigorated Townsend Leather to share its story and gather yours.  One of the most meaningful, therapeutic, and inspirational, ways to connect is to share stories.  Stories are personal, they are internal, they are entertaining, and they are linking.

Everyone has a story.  And a story means something, something of realness of the human connection.  Nearly everyone has a story of a connection to cancer.  Cancer is the #2 leading cause of death in the USA and is poised to become the #1 worldwide.  Cancer affects all of us.  One way to deal with, learn about, and heal from the effects is to find support.  Support can mean many things to many people, it can mean finding a community of like-minded people to be with, it can mean researching and finding knowledge that was useful to others, and it can mean simply knowing you are not alone in your pursuits and in your life.  All of these meanings of support are built by sharing stories.

So please share your story.  Townsend Leather Angel Collection handbags website and blog, Facebook page, and Twitter page are a growing community for cancer support and connection.  You can be a part of that community in a very meaningful and caring way, by sharing.  We are hoping to gather many stories of connection to cancer – to post on our blog.  You can submit your story by email to info@tltownsendleather.com or if you prefer to handwrite or have some accompanying artwork with your story you can mail it to
