not so much by the position

About Me

Hi! Welcome to my blog. I want to encourage survivors of abuse there is healing and freedom through Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ has helped me reverse the lies I believed about myself resulting from childhood abuse. I have chronicled my healing through art. Each of my pencil prints and sculptures describe the hope I have recieved and subsequent freedom I have realized. I am a now a grandmother-a very young grandmother (grin)and freelance artist, creating prints with watercolor pencils that chronicle my emotional healing through God's comfort. My matted prints are available for order. Check back often as I will be adding more to my collection. Your comments are welcome and appreciated. Continue healing and conquering!

Read what others have said about these Art Prints:
"Dear Cocoon......I am a counselor in Michigan and am doing a women's workshop in a couple weeks hoping to help women heal from woundedness, and was wondering if you would give me permission to use your drawing "Cocoon1" in powerpoint for my presentation? I am interested in your other art, also."

We/I wanted to write to you and tell you how much we love your artwork. I have been diagnosed with DID for 6 years. I was having a "down" morning, and I went searching for some positive things on the Internet to give me a lift. I was hoping to find things from other survivors. We found the art gallery in Many Voices and saw the one called "Cocoon" (with the child cradled in hands). It is so gorgeous. I wanted to tell you that just seeing it helped the little ones inside feel safer this morning.

Thank you for sharing your gifts. You are very talented. When something like this touches me, I always want to let the person know about it. Thanks so much.

Peace and Happiness,

Greetings of Peace.

I would like to ask permission to use "God's Comfort in Human Pain" as part of the instructional materials that I will use in a seminar-workshop on Handling Trauma in the Religious Formation Setting.

I am from the Philippines (Asia) and have been doing both formation work with the religous congregations and trauma work as a volunteer counselor. I am in the process of collecting materials which will be helpful for trauma survivor-formands using a holistic aproach, i.e., integrating the body-mind-spirit aspects in healing.

Thank you very much. I look forward to your positive response.
Sincerely yours,
----CARMEL
