It started as a simple project: Create a pendant piece of jewelry by collage or paint every day for a year. But when Thurston Gray decided to create a visual representation of an emotion she felt each day and journal those thoughts, that’s when her healing manifested. After being raped in college, Thurston tucked the mental, spiritual, and emotional wounds aside. Even after starting therapy, she still found herself disconnected from her emotions. The Pendant Project challenged Thurston to acknowledge her feelings every single day.  (via The Pendant Project) Survivor Resources:   New book for survivors on Healing through art/expression.
