I gave the talk, it went really well. The intent was that no one is alone and there is a fun, supportive and healthy thing to do no matter what condition your family is in at the moment. Its OK.
I'll upload the handout in a minute. What got me was the flashes of recognition flickering over faces as the people remembered their experiences with art and how they enjoyed painting, drawing, poetry. Related to what was going on right now, things like the mother and friend who does this or that and who could help or be helped with this or that was brought up, too.
Several questions about having something "like this in our area" were asked, so there is a NEED for Art with heart groups in Ocean Springs, Biloxi and Gulfport--- Good thing we travel well! We could start a group at a community center. If I'm contacted, we'll do just that.
