Hello,

Peaceful Pickings comfort boxes have been thoughtfully put together by our family, with you in mind.

Our journey to creating these comfort boxes started when our fifteen-year-old son, many years ago, underwent open-heart surgery to correct a congenital heart defect.

A few days before his surgery, our dear family friend gave him a super soft throw blanket that became a wonderful source of comfort. This was one of several ways we coped in anticipation of the surgery and in the recovery weeks that followed.

During that time, we found ourselves building soothing atmospheres in our homes and daily lives. Those habits stuck with us and continue to this day.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I teach self-soothe skills to help my clients get through stressful times or to simply recharge after a hectic day. Over the years I have crafted comfort boxes for family and friends -- applying these self-
soothe skills to give a gift that lasts longer than flowers, feels more like a hug, and provides some peace.

We packaged these boxes for you with love and intention, and we hope you find many peaceful moments with these pickings.

Warmest regards,

Dawn
