I was so nervous to launch this new idea. It came to me on a run (shocking yes, I run). So many people from our neighborhood are always out on the trails. It really made me think how it sort of makes us all part of the same team. Team Olentangy Trails! I really thought this has some traction. Then I got cold feet. What if people hate it? Nobody buys it? People are mean (I mean, valid, they sometimes are on Facebook). But with encouragement from my dad and Abbey, I did it. I posted it in the neighborhood Facebook group and decided to not look again until the morning.

Whoa. Just wow. SO many people bought shirts! I don’t even know 90% of them. I’m so grateful. I’m glad people feel like they love the close access to the trails, too. The trails always make me think of Liv. She and Abbey used to ride bikes to cross country practice at TWHS. There was a part of the trail that Liv called Taco Forest because it reminded her of the smell of tacos. Admittedly, I still try and pick up the scent when I walk through (I think it was a certain time of plant blooming at that time of year).

Anyway, the shirts are for everyone: runners, walkers, bikers, strollers, birdwatchers. This team is all inclusive. 

We finally did it! We’ve added the ability to order prints of Liv’s artwork. Prints are now available in several different sizes, and are available matted or unmatted. Larger prints are available as posters. If there is a special size you need that we don’t offer, just let us know and we’ll work with you to make it happen. We are really excited to make Liv’s artwork available to hang in your home or office. You can see all the available prints on our Prints and Posters store pages.

We’ve added a few more new products! We can now provide note cards using some of Liv’s artworks. The note cards include envelopes and per perfect for being a good human and sending a kind note to a friends or family member. Check them out Sundries.

We are absolutely overwhelmed by the reaction to our new Live Like Liv online store! In the first two weeks we have received orders for over 125 T-shirts. Even more amazing is that folks have separately made direct donations of over $1000 to the Olivia Midnight Scholarship Fund at the Columbus Foundation. We realize that there will be an initial “surge”, but we are hoping to maintain the momentum and continue to look for ways to spread the ideals Liv believed in.

We have added a new t-shirt to our product list! The Live Like Liv Color Logo t-shirt differs from the initial t-shirt offerings in that (as the title suggests) it has a color version of our logo. Take a look here.

We are proud and happy to announce a major update to our website! We have revamped the appearance of the site somewhat, but the big news is the addition of an online store to make available goods that celebrate Liv’s life and ideals. We will initially be selling T-shirts with our new Live Like Liv logo. All money raised from the sale of shirts will go toward the Olivia Midnight Scholarship Fund that is awarded annually to a student at Thomas Worthington High School who best represents Liv’s kindness in their own actions.

We will be adding new types of T-shirts – and maybe other clothing – in the near future. We also have plans to use Liv’s artworks on items such as note cards, prints, or other items. In addition, we plan to offer prints of Liv’s artworks that you can hang in your home.

Watch this space, as they say. We will make updates periodically as they happen. We’re excited to see this project making headway!
