"This project reminded me how beautiful and fulfilling my life journey can be with the right perspective. Life is never done, so take it as it comes. As you weave your life give yourself space in every step to grow, learn and enjoy every part of the journey exactly where you are each day. You may have an idea of what you want your life to look like, but it always has an expected twist or change that creates something different -and always for the better if you leave space, open your mind and embrace your flow with life where ever it may be at the time." — Art of Healing participant, 5/31/21
"I don't think I can choose just one favorite part of this project. Because, with each of the creative steps(cutting, making holes, painting, inking, choosing fibers and weaving) each one gave its own pleasure and enjoyment. I found my "circle" very quickly evolved, into something quite organic: isn't life that way? And as new colors, new textures and directions came in, each wove easily into and onto the previous ones. Adding a piece of driftwood was not planned. But then, how much of life really is?" — Angie Raab, 6/06/21
