Generation Colon

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’m recommending Dr Agbon to everyone who has herpes simplex virus to get the cure from him. I was diagnosed with genital herpes in 2022 and I have been searching and asking questions to see if i could get something to cure the disease because i did not believe what the doctors say that no cure is found yet. I contacted Dr Agbon and explained my problem to him and he prepared the herbs and sent it to me . and gave me instructions on how to use it and told me to go for checkup after usage which I did after two weeks of taking the herbal medicine and my result was NEGATIVE. I waited another month and retested, the result was still NEGATIVE and my doctor told me that I am completely free from herpes, Contact him now WHATSAPP: +2349058797761.

    Sleepless Nights and Lost Keys: My Bitcoin Redemption Story

    When my father passed away, we discovered he had a cold wallet containing a substantial amount of cryptocurrency which no one knew the password or recovery phrase.

    We searched everywhere: his files, notebooks, even old devices. Nothing. Every wrong attempt brought us closer to a permanent lockout. It felt like we were watching his hard-earned legacy vanish into thin air.

    Worse, every so-called “recovery expert” we found online was either vague or overpriced. I was losing hope — until I found CLOUDSTRIKE CYBERSECURITY COMPANY.

    From the start, Cloudstrike was different. They were professional, honest, and transparent. They didn’t promise miracles but just a clear and secure process. They walked me through a forensic approach, analyzing password habits, metadata, backups — even looking into how my father typically structured his logins and files.

    Three weeks later, they cracked it.

    The wallet was fully recovered. The funds were untouched. Everything was done securely, with integrity, and without pressure. CloudStrike Cyber is highly professional and reliable, with strong expertise in cybersecurity. I confidently recommend their services. Contact: cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com
