 Six Steps to  Overcoming Adversity

Is your audience facing adversity? Has Life or Business dropped a ‘pile of scraps’ in their laps?

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.

Featured Quote

Where we do not project, we may see something which displeases us but we can decide for ourselves whether it is necessary or important or relevant that we go and do something about it. … However, when we see something which displeases us and are compulsively involved in how we feel about it, and can neither take or nor leave it, then we are projecting. Projection denies us freedom of choice.
