“It is more whole than it was... it is possible to take something broken and in pieces and return it to something that has value.” Wow, I wasn’t expecting a powerful mental health message from this channel.

While I don't know if you're going to read this, I wanted to say thank you for this project. This year has been hard on everyone, myself included, and the idea that something broken can come together to form a whole piece is uplifting. While I know I'm not alone in this sentiment, I've lost an important family member this year, and my Mom and I have bonded through watching your videos to help work through the loss. Somehow, you inspired her, a 52 year old Stroke Survivor with use of only one of her arms, and not even the one she used to write with, to start painting again. Thank you, Peter. You've been a bright star in a sea of darkness. Happy Holidays, and cannot wait for the next video.
