The Vision

Welcome! You might be curious about how the Shine Love company began. It all started with a mother’s heart ...

Back in 2007, when my daughter, Ava, was just three years old, I realized that there were three fundamental ideas that I wanted to teach her about life.

1. Everyone is good at the core and generally appreciates when that goodness is verbally validated.

2. Choosing to see that core good in everyone, including ourselves, is the foundation of love, happiness, healing, and joy.

3. Shine Love is what I call this practice of highlighting the good to experience the good, and it can be counted on for a daily dose of joy in any conscious moment - even and especially through life’s challenges.

I sought to share these simple messages with the world in a practical way, and in 2014, the first Shine Love shirts were sold online. Coming from a math and science background, it has been a whole new world and journey for me to learn about creating and selling products in the business world!

Fast forward to 2021, we are excited to share our latest Shine Love designs in the new year with an improved behind-the-scenes, print-on-demand process to give our customers ultimately a variety of products with a simple and easy purchasing experience. One immediate drawback is that we cannot accept returns for wrong sizes or buyer’s remorse at this time. However, we are hoping to improve this process in the months and years to come.

So please join us in living and wearing the Shine Love messages:

           The good in me sees the good in you.

                               One + All

                        Beautiful One + All

                          Peace One + All

                             Happy World

                         Good is Universal.

                          Good lives in All.

Can we just imagine for a moment how happy this world might be if collectively we each made shining love a priority?

My favorite definition of a miracle is a shift in perspective from one of fear to one of love. I believe that in choosing to shine love consistently together, we can experience the miracle of heaven on earth.

With so many challenges to overcome in the world today, we send our genuine wishes for a peaceful, healthy, and happy 2021 for all.

Shining Love to you, friends,
Maria
