When casting my head out of tape, I wanted to include as many parts of the original piece and incorporate it into my artwork. While an objective of mine was to capture the essence of the original work, I foremost wanted the piece to resemble me, I was…

I take care of them just like I took care of my work boots in the industry and in the military. Only now when I’m in certain airports I…
You will also need a couple peg boards to put the beads on and make your design. An iron, wax paper and masking tape to help finish your design and mend it together.

Today, February 7, 2017, I was able to participate in another fairly typical day with Missy on the medical/surgical unit. In addition, I had my weekly meeting with Missy, where we followed up on my goals and I received great feedback regarding my weekly goals. I had two main patient interactions today and various check-ins. The first patient interaction I participated in today was with one of our unit’s long-term patient, a 7-year-old female. Prior to bringing the patient to the playroom, I…

Clay had no idea that was the last time he'd see Hannah. She had already recorded and mailed the tapes. Hannah had already made her final decision, even if things went…
