Words to Live by at the Gift Show

Should you be at the Gift Show at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston this weekend, look for the company called Words to Live By. Started by busy mom of two, Erin Coleman, the business offers inspirational messages tied to lovely scenes. Their tagline is Wisdom For a New Generation and the two year old business includes uplifting expressions that are aimed at healing the soul. As one customer said, “I could not find the inspirational items I was looking for until I found this company. I had searched in brick-and mortar stores around me and looked on line. Such sophisticated and inspired messages are a tonic for the soul. I have given each of the texts to family members.”

Enjoy the message and the products from this busy mom.
