Everyone knows at least one woman who learned they had or have breast cancer. You may have a sister, a best friend, a neighbor or a co-worker who went through it or is going through it right now. We are all touched by it somehow. Because of that we decided to design a special limited-edition Alembika T-Shirt which shoppers will receive as a gift when you make a purchase from Alembika.com during October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

While we are acknowledging Breast Cancer, I also want to recognize

anyone who is going through any type of cancer or illness. I often hear from many of you about your health journey and the way you navigate the medical process and the many emotions that come up for you and your loved ones.
Just last week our dear customer, Anna, age 94, shared that she is healing from bladder cancer. When I asked her what I should do to reach 94, she said, “Enjoy every day, it goes fast. And enjoy that drink! Keep the faith and keep smiling. That should do it.”

To our beautiful Alembika community, thank you for being my teacher, my mentor and inspiring me with your resilience, strength and warmth.
