I’m Alyssa - The woman behind the sign.
Wife, mom, stranger to none, sign language educator, Diet Coke fueled, Crumbl cookie connoisseur, doesn’t miss a Dry Bar appointment kind of gal. Those cuties are my girls C+C, we’re so glad you’re here!
It was the height of the pandemic, and my family was navigating the woes of quarantine. Is this real life? How was I, as an educator, going to transition to a remote teaching environment? It was 3am, and I was rocking my youngest daughter back to sleep. Her tiny hand reached up to touch my face, and I wished I could hit the pause button on that moment in time. Shortly thereafter, the brainstorming began, How could I collect these small heartwarming moments? How can I intertwine my passions: sign language, teaching, and motherhood? How can I notate, to one day share with the girls? Suddenly, it all made sense - journals.
As a result, “It’s A Sign” was born. A play on words, an acronym and a way of life to encourage moments of self reflection, and identifying joy in each day.

My purpose in this journey is to serve as the encourager and cheerleader for women in all seasons of life. You’re never alone, because you have me. You know how Clea and Joanna revolutionized our closets? Here at It’s A Sign, we’re revolutionizing our hearts. It’s okay to not be okay, but we’re in this thing together, and we’re all going to be okay.
