Sometimes, the most disparaging of times can yield a bright light. Such was the experience of Lee Rhodes, who found a unique sense of peace and serenity when she dropped a votive into a small blown glass bowl while she was battling lung cancer at 32.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lee Rhodes of glassybaby<\/em><\/p>\n

She decided she wanted to reach out and help others in her situation feel the same spark of hope. Over a decade later, Rhodes supports and connects with fellow cancer fighters with her Seattle-based company glassybaby<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Described as a \u201cmission\u201d company, 8 to 10 percent of the company\u2019s revenue is donated to a multitude of charities and funds. In 2011, Rhodes was named Entrepreneur<\/a> of the year by Entrepreneur<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one can tell you what you\u2019re going to need to get well,\u201d says Rhodes, recalling her time spent recovering from chemotherapy. \u201cThis money is available for day to day needs \u2014 food, clothing, whatever \u2014 and there are no questions asked.\u201d<\/p>\n

The single product with a conscious has had so much impact, Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos approached Rhodes in 2008 with interest and now owns 20 percent of glassybaby.<\/p>\n

Nearly 70 local artists help create the colorful votives,\u00a0which sell for $44 each, and are popular in restaurants, as \u201can individual piece of art on each table,\u201d Rhodes says. Additionally, she rents them out in large quantities for events. Glassybaby also has a version of its product for use as drinking glasses.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
