A dear friend of mine forwarded me a video detailing the story of the Petunia Bag. I was blown away by beach shots of an enthusiastic woman, standing proudly with a pouch on the side of her tummy. Her name is Heather Matson and she is the owner of Petunia Ostomy Designs.
Frustrated with the lack of bathing suits that accommodate her colostomy bag, she decided to style them up: "I am young, I want to wear a two piece." Although she was new to sowing, she started creating covers for her ostomy bag. She didn't think much of it, until she showed it to her ostomy support group. Now-a-days Heather can't keep up with demand and has many orders placed for the year, some going all the way to Germany.
"I am the 8th Matson, part of the Generation Colon," she proudly affirms as both her grandfather and father had the same genetic mutation that led to her diagnosis. After her third month in remission, she remembers when her surrounding doctor and nurses asked her how she was coping with her then new companion, her ostomy bag. "I just remember telling them, oh this old thing, my grandpa had it."
Even before she was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer, she knew what being different was like. "My grandpa, his brother and my cousin all had stoma bags, so I was raised by being different, and each difference in my family made me love and cherish them." At first, getting used to the permanency of the stoma bag was not easy. "I was crying, I knew I needed to do something to change my perception towards the bag," and that's where the idea of the stoma bag covers came from.
She chose to name her stoma and thus her business, Petunia from her love for flowers and colors. Heather thrives in getting to know each and every single one of her customers. She also runs a Facebook group focused on providing a positive and uplifting message for the ostomy community. She is a true #migamuse

I saw an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency about two months ago and I took my chance. I contacted a broker who I saw videos on youtube and I invested a huge sum of money around £665,211 which was deposited using Bitcoin with hopes to gain massive returns on my investment. I kept tracking my portfolio and it was increasing daily on the website. It made me excited and confident. Fast forward to 30 Days after, which was supposed to be my payout date, I tried to make a withdrawal as I needed money to foot my bills and buy my new house, but the broker insisted that I continue to invest or will have to pay some fees to withdraw my funds. That was very disappointing to hear, because it was all going smoothly when I deposited the funds. Eventually, I paid the fees which was about £45,800. I was desperate now because according to my portfolio, I had made about £1,512,400. Now you see why I was willing to pay the fees. It turned out it was a scheme to keep asking me for more money for one thing or the other, like Taxes, miner fees and so many others. I declined, and instead I won’t pay more. They locked my account for several weeks. A month after, I saw a post on Quora about GHOST CHAMPION HACKERS which stated they were capable of getting my money recovered. With a little faith in me, I contacted them immediately, and discussed my situation, and sent all the information I had. In less than a week, I was able to recoup my BTC. I praise the universe for sending them my way. I wish to recommend them to everyone out there. they are capable of recover any crypto coins Bitcoin, Usdt ,Eth, Dogecoin, now i have my funds back with there guidelines and skills you can always contact them via EMAIL : ghostchampionwizard @ gmail.com Telegram : https://t.me/WizardGhosthacker
