This anthology is meant to be a life journey, as a gift from many stories shared with me over my lifetime. As a social worker and a therapist, keeping clients' confidentiality is an important value. I would work out the expression of feelings from clients, by weaving wall hangings to reflect their journey. The hangings were circulated in my office at the hospital.

This anthology is meant to be a life journey, as a gift from many stories shared with me over my lifetime. As a social worker and a therapist, keeping clients' confidentiality is an important value. I would work out the expression of feelings from clients, by weaving wall hangings to reflect their journey. The hangings were circulated in my office at the hospital. After retirement, I wanted to take pictures of the hangings and stumbled upon an app called Photo Booth. I began working with abstract visuals and quotes gathered from people who have suffered, surrendered, faced their 'shadow' and learned from it. They are lovely and hang all over my house. I had them self-published in a book entitled Life as Art. It was very expensive to print. The Mulberry Press is a black and white printing company who were interested in the content of the book. I agreed to have them print it in black and white as a coloring book, and here we are. Enjoy the interactive component and I look forward to any feedback you wish to share.

Autorenporträt
We grew up in a low-income household, but as my Mom would say, "We aren't poor, we just don't have any money". My parents were in their mid-forties when I was born, number four of 5 children. Dad was ill as far back as I can remember. Mom was the neighborhood fortune teller. She taught me to keep my own counsel. Her card reading was a form of counseling for my friends. I read Mythic Tarot cards for friends and family and occasionally for clients who are stuck. Thanks, Mom. I love you. Synchronicity and intuition would be my friends throughout my life. I have social anxiety, so books were always part of my self-knowledge and escape. I was not expected to amount to much. Of course, I worked at the university library in collection development with Dr. Hoover. In the stacks were joy and increased knowledge. I have a vast collection of books from novels to philosophy, psi-fi, and the list goes on. I married and was a stay-at-home Mom to two beautiful brilliant children. My former husband and I divorced, so I went to University and love the life of learning. I am a master weaver so thought Art Therapy, a new field of study at the time, would be a natural fit. Undergrad took me through general education in Social Sciences. My enjoyment of Social Psychology, Consciousness, Existential Philosophy, Physics Death and Dying (my parents had both died by then); lead to post-grad studies in Thanatology and Palliative Care and a Master Social Worker career. I have worked in such fields as homeless shelters, pilot projects for palliative care., Family and Schools Together (FAST) program etc. Mental health is pervasive in all the work I have done. I am now a knowledge broker developing courses to help serve those who want to learn more about how to help others and yourself if you are so inclined.
