FtF Prize Pack #5

Our 5th prize pack comes, again, from Lighter Side of Medicine artwork and from Karissa Diane music.

The main smaller piece of artwork is the Fight the Fusion logo on a 5x7 canvas panel - in perwinkle!
This was the first colour that I thought of to be a part of our logo this year. So while we decided to go with yellow backgrounds more often, this piece has a special place in my heart.

This prize pack also contains Karissa Diane's two cds and some additional bookmarks, because music and reading are both activities that keep chronic illness patients motivated!

Music is always something that gets me out of bed. Just playing one song on the piano, or listening to a new song I would like to learn, or learning about the history of some songs, or just pumping up the music to try and inspire me to get up and go do something - this is what helps motivate me. Music is also an endeavor that does not always have to expend much energy. It is always there.
It is always present, very often emotionally cathartic, and, most importantly, accessible. Even for those who cannot hear, there is a tangible feeling - vibrations, thuds, beats, frequencies - that can reach even the most ill.
Music is a refuge.

This prize pack is all about therapeutic art. Doodling, painting, drawing, singing, reading; music therapy, art therapy, literary therapy.

So grab your comfiest socks, a cup of tea, and a cozy blanket. Cuddle up with your favourite book or just sit there listening to music.

And don't forget to get your comments, tags, shares, and donations in to Arthritis Research Canada.
