Eileen Sirica Cardillo was having one of those moments when nothing seemed right.

She was nearing 50 and working in a part-time job that offered her no creative outlet, her three kids were getting older, and a dear friend was in the midst of a battle against cancer.

“It was a difficult time emotionally,” Cardillo said recently. “I was struggling with what my purpose was, what I could still do to help my family financially but also do something that might tie into my creative dream and somehow touch people’s lives.”

In early October 2012, Cardillo said she woke up and “Joy to the WORD” spilled from her lips.

You won’t believe what happened next.
