They’re not alone. When wood-toolboxtherapist Sharon Barnes was taken down by Hourglass Scrap Quilt.jpgdebilitating illness at the age of 40, she discovered greater depth and power in tools she had been using with her counseling clients. Drawing on inspiration from the rich symbolism of pioneer American women sewing quilts from scraps, she shares her story, her art, and six tools she utilized that you can also use to turn pain into gain and overcome any adversity.

Consciousness brings more pain, but it also brings more joy. Because as you go further into the desert — if you go far enough — you will begin to discover little patches of green, little oases that you had never seen before. And if you go still further, you may even discover some streams of living water underneath the sand, or if you go still further, you may even be able to fulfill your own ultimate destiny.
