Helen Keller
activist & writer,  

Picture
Helen Keller was born in 1880 in Alabama to an affluent southern family.  Born healthy, she was a very bright baby and started talking at 6 months.  Helen became deaf and blind due to an illness when she was 19 months old. She became frustrated acting out with tantrums as she grew; Helen's world changed when the family hired Annie Sullivan as her tutor who taught her to associate words spelled into her hands with actually objects the words represented.
Helen was a quick learner attending a school for the deaf and the college with Annie at her side.  Helen dedicated her life to encouraging and inspiring  others with disabilities; traveling to over thirty-five countries and changing the way that the world viewed blind and deaf people as well as the way disabled people are treated.   
NOTE: 
​HML has a copy of the 2001 remake of The Miracle Worker - I will check it out and drop it off for a matinee for the Peeps.

before you begin"getting messy"

Mac Davis sings "stop and smell the roses", sharing that we should slow down from time to time and engage another sense of wonder in our lives.  With the textured canvas boards, smooth bags and fluffy flowers with their stiff stems laying out on the workspace, take a few minutes to close you eyes and run your fingertips lightly across the surfaces (and maybe sing or hum a few lines).
