Healing with Art

Several people suggesed I sign up for Healing Icons a healing arts program for cancer patients. It took a while but I was finally able to go to the program that Heidi Darr Hope has at the Lexington Oncology in Lexington, SC.

 I attended 5 sessions in all and noticed the act of creating art made me forget about the pain I was in.  After I left the art therapy session and got into my car, the pain would return and I would once again feel my pain. I wish I knew how to get that much relief for pain and to feel that well at all times. Even pain meds do not work as good as art!

Thank you Heidi Darr Hope!
