Mother's of Hope! Healing with Women in Appalachia

My spiritual director named this one Wisdom! This one was for physical healing.
 This one I did after returning from a retreat entitled Cherokee Spirituality These are the latest of my own healing pictures!

On December 10, 2014 I was at Heart and Soul Life Center for
Pregnancy and Childbirth Services
They help families care for their children
in Manchester, KY.
Sometimes life happens when we weren't looking!



I had asked them to do an artwork for healing and this young woman wanted to do a pencil drawing. Instead of telling her to do what she was feeling, I asked her to use color and this is what she came up with! I get too into the how's and forget to be supportive of what an artist feels called to! It is sometimes hard to think on my feet! This is still very powerful!



I love this ocean image!
