It's been 2 years since I started getting myself together as far as writing and photography. I published 2 novels in 2020 and my photography has been shown at a handful of exhibits. My point is that therapy through the creative arts can be an avenue to recovery.

If Christmas is hard,
If you’ve lost someone dear.
Just look in your heart,
And you’ll know they’re still here.

The star in the sky,
The light falling snow.
The robin outside,
It seems like they know.

If this is a time,
When you’re struggling through.
Just do what you can,
For what matters, is you.

There’s no need to be merry,
There’s no need to bright.
Just do what you can,
It will all be alright.
