True North cowl is inspired by finding courage in whatever direction life may take you. Knowing who you are, and not trying to be someone else, sticking to your true north. Jennifer Cummings says it best, “Knowing my True North gives me the courage to focus my energy where I believe it should be, not according to what is popular or pleasing to others.” Jennifer Cummings from the book Deliberate Motherhood. To me the stars in this motif look like compasses reminding you to always point to your true north.
