Let’s just say I wish I could have been a close friend of Winston Churchill.

I picture Winston as a warm and colourful fellow. Always suited up like a gentleman, brilliant beyond his years & unabashedly himself with a thousand stories to tell. I for sure would have been all ears.

This satchel is a tribute to the many ways his legacy has inspired me to create my own. He reminds me to stand tall in the face of my greatest fears…to stare them down right into the ground until they vanish like smoke.

Oh…and his front post closure is secured with a small treasure I brought home from Bali…a lucky coin.

You see them strewn about, randomly on the sidewalks over there. Remnants left behind from the daily offering baskets. I came home with a small stash.

Anyhoo…thanks Winston…for never giving up on being yourself.
