More Than Medicine
Today’s project begins.
Birds are the theme this time. My mother has always loved cardinals, and really, all birds. Their songs, colors, and quiet presence have always brought her joy. That love inspired me to create something comforting and meaningful in her honor.
As I work through each step, I find myself thinking about the people who shape us, encourage us, and teach us to appreciate the simple beauty around us. This chair is more than fabric, wood, and staples. It is a reflection of memories, love, and gratitude.
Cardinals are often said to remind us that those we love are never far away. Whether that is true or not, they certainly have a way of making us pause, smile, and feel connected to something bigger than ourselves.
Sometimes healing isn’t found in medicine, appointments, or treatments. Sometimes it is found in creating with our hands, remembering with our hearts, and sharing a little piece of ourselves with someone we love.
❤️🕊️ More Than Medicine. Sometimes healing takes the shape of a chair, a cardinal, and a mother’s smile.
