Think the heart matters
Life will tug at you in ways
And still you love, still.
Heart Matters

Sign
A sign of Autumn
Leaves gently changing in hope
Of cooler weather.
Time Heals January 17, 2014
Thoughts get more quiet
Sharp pain turns to a dull throb
Time truly heals all.
Art Prescription: No life goes without loss. Loss of life, loss of dreams, loss of health, there are many. It is part of the beautiful existence we call human. We feel BIG. We experience the drama of life in our minds and bodies. Write, paint, connect with others…we are not alone.

Remembering tree
An act of art to mourn loss
You are not alone.
Art Prescription: My stark tree coming to life as people remember a loved one. Through art, people grieve, feel less alone in their sorrow, and create beauty. Thank you Heidi Gessner, UNC Bereavement Coordinator, for inviting me to be a part of this service!
Loss and Love October 1, 2013
Grief, like the ocean
Ripples or waves, knocks you down
River, salty tears.
Art Prescription: A sad day for me as a good feline friend left this world to another. She was a delight and my heart is a little broken. I pray for healing and recovery for her family.
Hearts a bursting September 15, 2013
Pink sneakers, white hat
Walk my path as sun settles
My Hearts-a-bustin.
Art Prescription: Euonymus americanus – Bursting Heart, Hearts-a-bustin’, Strawberry Bush.. E. americanus is a shrub with thin stems and opposing, shallowly serrated leaves. The bush grows from 4 to 6 feet tall. Fruit is a red 4-lobed capsule. Each lobe splits open in the autumn, giving the name Bursting Heart.
There are many days that we may feel our hearts are bursting, with joy, with praise, and with sorrow.
Haiku August 2, 2013 Night-time
Through the flower vase
The sun settles low. Night-time
Slinks in with the moon.
Art Prescription: Significant week in many ways…ready for night-time to slink in! A quick semi-abstract watercolor floral…art therapy for me!
Haiku December 6, 2012 Compassion
Compassion: to walk
A brief time in other’s shoes
Give of time and heart.
Art Prescription: The holiday season brings out extremes in feelings. At any given point in life you or I may respond differently to a world where “everyone else seems normal.” No matter what holiday you celebrate, there is bound to be some roller-coaster of emotions. The perfect gift, time and heart!
