Several of my close friends are asking, "Why did you spell Holding Harts with an "A" versus "EA"? I knew if these questions were coming up that many others would probably have the same question. There are several reasons. Firstly, Holding Harts, to me means that we need to lift each other up, nurture each other and hold each other's hearts. The vision of the image I had fit perfectly between the H and the R. The other reason being the most meaningful is "A" stands for the anonymous people who have not talked about what happened to them. The others that have not begun to heal because they are keeping their pain locked on the inside for one reason or another. Like I mentioned earlier 1 in 6 boys and 1 in 4 girls will be sexually abused before the age of 18. This is a statistic based on people who have come forward. The true numbers are yet to be discovered. Just think about all of the people who are out there hurting. True healing starts when you are able to release. My thoughts are that Holding Harts will empower those who are hurting to have voice so they can begin to feel better. "A" is for anonymous and also for the person I am doing this for!
