A couple of months ago I posted the SEASONS OF THE SOUL STORY. I also invited anyone who might have a personal story relating to the artwork to please post in the comments section. I want to share one of the stories I received that touched me deeply...
" I found the Seasons of the Soul print in Womencrafts store (located in Provincetown, Mass.) shortly after I began treatment for stage 1 breast cancer. I got the chills when I saw it as I could relate to the seasons as the stages I had been going through dealing with cancer. I hung up the print in my bedroom and looked at it every day to track what I was experiencing emotionally. I could not wait to get to the end of treatment and into the light. Before I could finish my treatment I was diagnosed yet again with a second cancer. This time stage 3 colon cancer. I turned to the print as I tried to come to grips with the new diagnosis and starting all over again. I had been almost at the end and then I was thrown back to the season of confusion. the print inspired me to continue on through all the seasons once again with the of reaching moving out! Yes, moving out of illness and into wellness. My only goal. I am happy to report I am now cancer free. Your print continues to inspire me on so many levels. I brought the print to my art therapy class recently to share with my group and everyone loved it. My therapist googled you and found the blog. I am so happy to be able to thank you for your art work and what a healing effect it has on me. Thank you, Stephanie, from the bottom of my heart!"
I was deeply touched by this heartfelt testimonial... I will always treasure this and when I get discouraged, I will have this to remind me of my true purpose.
