FLY AWAY
Finding Hope in the Midst of Grief
Available for Sale - February 2012

FLY AWAY is the true story about my family.  It reminds each of us that while our time on EARTH is temporary:  our existence is eternal.

I saw a need in my family, friends, my students and their parents for a simple book that helps adults and children address loss and grief from a Christian perspective.  Every human being has to deal with loss, death and grief eventually.  It's a normal part of life.  It's important that people talk about and remember the person they loved, and not feel as if the subject is off limits.

This booklet began as personal email messages to my family and friends about the deaths of my father and mother.

"Fly away," were the last two words my father spoke to me before he went to Heaven."

Marcia:  "Parents hold the KEY to unlock a child’s Life Story.
What we don’t talk about can be scarier than what is said.  
 Our silence says:  “This must be so bad—it’s unspeakable.” 
The JOURNEY JEWELRY Workbook is a proactive tool that Marcia developed to honor every minute of a child's life.  It helps adoptive and foster parents feel more comfortable telling the positive and negative elements of their child's story.  Life Stories unfold as a chronological narrative.  It creates a verbal and visual record of a child's story.  Words create pictures where none are available.  It creates a comforting ritual.
A JOURNEY JEWELRY Bracelet is also available with the workbook.  Marcia first created the silk cord bracelet  with quality handmade glass beads and silvertone charms for her chosen children from China:  Sarah Zheng-Kang and Faith Fu Ju.  JOURNEY JEWELRY made its public debut in 2004, when Marcia was invited by Dick Fischer, editor of Adoption Today, to teach a class for adoptive parents at Chinese Heritage Camp in Denver, Colorado. 
   
Responses From Adoptive Parents:
 "JOURNEY JEWELRY helped me start a conversation with my daughter that I knew was needed, but I didn't know how to start.  I didn't know what to say say about her birth family -  because I didn't want to hurt her any more than she had already been hurt." 
"Marcia's class is the best class I've had at camp, and I've been coming for several years."
 
"I didn't think I would ever need something like this (JOURNEY JEWELRY), because my children were adopted as toddlers.  When my kids hit puberty - all kinds of emotions and questions surfaced about their birth family.  JOURNEY JEWELRY helped me talk to my kids about their entire Life Story." 
"JOURNEY JEWELRY is something I can do with my children.  It just makes sense."
