JOURNEY JEWELRY
Workbook & Hands-On Activity
For Children, Forever Families & Foster Families
By Marcia Norwood, AMERICA'S STORYTELLER

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."

STORYTELLER GIFT BOOK:  WORKBOOK COVER

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 with quality Pandora-style glass beads and silver-tone charms.   Words create pictures where none are available.  It creates a comforting ritual.

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  about her birth family - because I didn't want to hurt her any more than she had already been hurt."

"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."
