Coping with Cancer Clouds was
juried into the Sacred Threads Exhibition
in
Herndon, VA . It will be exhibited through July 28, 2019 in the Washington DC
area.
The Cancer journey from
diagnosis to treatment is a roller coaster ride. It requires courage,
faith, strength, support, and hope as patients also deal with anxiety and
uncertainty. Counting blessings can provide a greater appreciation of life. The
dragonfly signifies strength, and the wishing well anticipates a cure.
Some believe that dream catchers
are a filter for dreams, trapping bad dreams in the web and allow
good dreams to pass through feathers and beads while asleep. The treasure chest holds strength and time.
The outer web traps the bad dreams as cancer patients undergo treatments
with chemotherapy, radiation and medications.
