Stepping Up by Susan L.

The Krasman Centre is putting a table in the Alliston Home Show, April 13-14. We decided it's a wonderful opportunity to do some out reach. Last year over three thousand people came through the doors. One fifth of those face mental health challenges. Every single person knows someone who faces these challenges. We want to make sure they know they are not alone. This is my baby and I am excited about it. I've been working on posters to hang behind us. We decided to take one of the original paintings from the centre entitled "Recovery" This is an opening to meet the artist, yours truly. Bringing the painting is a testimony of its own. My college education was in graphic design although I never worked in the field. It's nice to be able to utilize all the marketing skills I learned long, long (ouch!) ago to open the door to conversation. This outreach drives home the reality that nothing in life, not a single one of our experiences ever goes to waste. Not even a dusty diploma. "When you eat the labour of your hands, you shall be happy and it shall be well with you." Ps 128:2
