Of course I LOVE Freight & everything that goes along with it, ESPECIALLY all of you, but in addition...my heart led me here.
.
Ok Everyone...
The moment you beautiful, oh so sweet souls....have been waiting for!
It is with SO much joy, and ALL the love in my heart, that I introduce you to...
No, not a baby, but most definitely..."my" baby.
What it is...
"In life it's inevitable to go through hard times,
but unbearable to go through them alone".
Whether someone you know is fighting...for their Life, a Dream, their Country, a Relationship, an addiction, fighting to heal the loss of a loved one, struggling to get their life back, are in need of extra encouragement/support; even if you just want to remind someone how amazing & loved they are, or are just looking for a fun, unique gift...These hand made, one of a kind gloves are for you! I've learned that we all have our crosses to bare, and the ONLY thing that gets us through these storms is knowing that we aren't alone. The Fight Project is something I've created as a way to all come together and take on this thing called life. Knowing that you have a whole community behind you, standing in the ring, fighting right beside you...TOGETHER...we can overcome anything! I would love nothing more than for you to join this healing movement & connect with and encourage all the other warriors out there! For every glove that is purchased...our project grows stronger & another fighter is born. Please join our Facebook & Twitter community (Instagram too @THEFIGHTPROJECT) & share your stories, offer advice, but most of all...encourage one another. THIS is my dream & how I want to leave my mark on this world. Thank you in advance, for every ounce of your love & support, and to all my fighters out there..."Keep Fighting, Beautiful Warriors. We're all in the ring with you!"
All my Love & Fight, Veronika
Your gloves can be customized/personalized...however you like.
Here are some samples...
I would LOVE it if you followed us on Twitter, Facebook & Instagram @thefightproject.
And of course...
My ETSY shop is now open for business & I couldn't be more ecstatic!
If you know anyone in need of a little "fight"... I would be SO grateful if you'd stop by!
My dream is for this movement to touch/change...as many lives as possible.
In the very near future, we'll also be starting a Fight Project Foundation, where we'll be able to give back to our fighters & surprise them with much needed monetary support. THAT is one day I can't WAIT for!
To each & every one of you for your endless kindness, love & support...there are no words to express just how much you mean to me. I am truly blessed to have you in my life & I am eternally grateful to you, & for you,
Papa, Mama & Aram...you guys know how I feel about you. I can't even type those words without my eyes leaking. Thank YOU for every ounce of your love, support & help. You brought my visions to life, Aram, & I love that I can always count on you & that you're as OCD as I am! And...you even show up for work in a suit...with a boutonniere and all! BEST THING EVER! Hahaha! Made my whole day! I love love love my family! You guys are a part of the project & my whole heart...forever & ever.
And lastly...to my insanely amazing Husband, Bobby. You are my whole world & your love & support, but especially enthusiasm...mean so much more than words could ever express. You're my biggest Cheerleader, & always my biggest fan! With you by my side...anything is possible. I love you more than life itself & I thank God for you...every single day. I LOVE that you're my partner in...everything. I look forward to changing many many lives with you. I love you to heaven, and ever after.
You guys are EVERYTHING to me, & without you...there'd be no me.
You are all the reason my days are brighter & my smile's bigger.
YOU are the reason I love & the reason I fight.
Thank you for being such a beautiful part of my journey.
I love & appreciate you all.
Now let's change the world!
Who's with me?
Your, Veronika

Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them.
Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes we win and sometimes we lose.
Do not expect anything in return, do not expect your efforts to be appreciated, your genius to be discovered, your love to be understood.
Stop turning on your emotional television to watch the same program over and over again, the one that shows how much you suffered from a certain loss: that is only poisoning you, nothing else.
Nothing is more dangerous than not accepting love relationships that are broken off, work that is promised but there is no staring date, decisions that are always put off waiting for the "ideal moment". Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back.
Remember that there was a time that you could live without that thing, or that person- nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need.
This may sound so obvious, it may even be difficult, but it is very important! Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no
longer fits your life.
Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust.
Stop being who you were, and change into who you are.
-Paulo Coelho
This is the beginning of A N Y T H I N G you want!
Happy Happy New Year!

We are ALL here for a purpose & we are all given certain "gifts", and it's up
to us to make this life as beautiful as we can, for ourselves...and each other.
My goal has always been to do my very best...to leave this world a little bit
more beautiful than I found it, and to know that at least one life was
better...because I was in it. In the end...that really
is...what life is all about. Not the things we buy...but the relationships we
make, and the hearts we touch. NOTHING else matters, or makes your life any
richer...this I
can promise you. Today is a brand new day...a brand new year...and you can do
with it...ANYTHING you like! It is NEVER too late to make a change, or to be
what you've always wanted to be. Today really
is...the first day of the rest of your life! How do you want to live it? Be
remembered? What have you always wanted to do? Become? Experience? The past is
your past. Done & Gone. Try your absolute best to leave it there, and
believe...really
believe...that EVERYTHING did/does happen for a reason, and JUST AS it is
supposed to. EVERYTHING...good & bad that you experience, really
truly
does...make you exactly...who you are meant to be. I have lived it...and I can
also promise you that! Mistakes are only mistakes if you keep making the same
one. If you are learning...you are growing. There are no accidents. Only your
life's plan unfolding. You are on this earth to do AMAZING things. To touch
lives, inspire, dream, have abundance, to love & be loved, to encourage,
& have your EVERY wish come true. There's no such thing as luck, or lucky
people. We are all given the same opportunities...it's up to us to use them as
we desire. That's the blessing & curse of free will. I have learned that NO
ONE or NOTHING can make it happen for you. YOU have to want it for yourself.
The power is within you. If you want it...you CAN get it! It's as simple, and as
difficult as that. Stop beating yourself up, blaming, holding your head
down...it's time for a change! It's time to take control of your life & make
it ALL you've ever wanted it to be! Life is MUCH too short to wait ANY longer!
The time is NOW! 2012 is YOUR year! Go out there & get it! We love you & we believe in you!
to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first
chapter is New Year's Day."

No matter how wonderful, or not so wonderful your 2010 was...the thing I love the most about a new year is that it's a brand new start. The possibilities are endless. Like the rainbow after the storm. The world is clean & the canvases of our lives are erased & ready for whatever we choose to create. Your life is a stage & YOU are the star! NEVER forget your worth or the power that lies within you...to do or be...ANYTHING you wish. Starting today...starting right now...BEGIN TO REALLY LIVE!
Take a nap whenever you want.
Go for Sunday afternoon drives.
Sing in the shower.
Sing in the car.
Be yourself.
Make goals.
Reach goals.
Don’t nag.
Don’t gossip.
Be forgiving of yourself and others.
Keep it simple.
Keep good company.
Keep your promises.
Believe in yourself.
Be a good loser.
Be a good winner.
Say “Thank You” a lot.
Say “Please” a lot.
Be spontaneous.
Try it.
Compliment others.
Be there when people need you.
Make a difference in someone’s life.
Make a habit to do nice things for people…who will never find out it was you.
Don’t rain on other people’s parades.
Don’t deprive someone of hope…it may be all they have.
Don’t be afraid to say “I’m Sorry”.
Don’t be afraid to say “I’m Wrong”
Live so that when your children think of fairness, integrity, caring & honesty…your children think of YOU.
Take responsibility for every area of your life.
Take care of your reputation. It’s your most valuable asset.
Don’t postpone joy.
Know who your REAL friends are.
Never give up on anyone. Miracles happen every day.
Smile. You never know who’s watching. The world is watching.
Dream BIG.
Make your dreams come true.
Do things that others only dream of.
Do whatever it takes to make you happy.
Live each day as if there is no tomorrow.
Yesterday is just a memory.
Pay attention to what is in front of you. Your life…is in front of you.
Don’t waste another day.
IT’S YOUR LIFE. .
Enjoy it before it’s too late.
Here's to us and a year FILLED with butterflies in our tummies, wishes upon stars, eternal love & laughter, and our EVERY dream come true! Today is the first day of the rest of your life...MAKE IT COUNT!
