it's in our blood

Recently a loved one was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy (put simply, the heart muscle is or has become abnormal).  I have been thinking of way to help her.  What token could I create? Something that would make her feel empowered.

This is my second step on my copper journey.  I have decided to create a copper charm that matches the heart to the mind. 

It is common knowledge that copper has effects on our blood.  It can stimulate hormones and vitamins as well as ease the pain in your muscles. There have also been studies on the effects of copper on cardiomyopathy (article embedded below). While most people feel the effects of copper taken internally, the presence of copper on the body will serve as a symbol or reminder of the power she can claim and the support of her loved ones. 

The next step in my journey will be to research that symbol.
