Tomorrow

Tomorrow I am meeting with my supervisor at Mariner's Inn for my evaluation.  I am a bit nervous considering my schedule has fluctuated due to my work schedule.

We have discussed a more "fluid" future schedule for students if need be and will be discussed in further detail during the meeting tomorrow.  Maybe the solution to students with rigorous work schedules is to gather materials for Mariner's at Arts and Scraps (we plan on doing that) or to design art projects that would be simple and easy for another art therapist to work with.

Aside, from the book proposal for them, these are some of the thoughts and ideas to be discussed further to insure time for WSU students is effective and well spent.

Returning to the D

After an extended Thanksgiving holiday, I have returned back to my routine here and made contact with Mariner's Inn to volunteer tomorrow.  We are handing in our evaluations tomorrow and I have yet to accomplish everything at Mariner's I have set out to do.  The main thing is writing a book proposal to submit to Wayne State Press for them.  This would be a book that shows the bright and broad history of Mariner's as one of the leading recovery programs in the country that is right here in downtown Detroit.
Focus will be on the art, writing and work that is done in this program in hopes of inspiring other recovery facilities to implement many facets of Mariner's success model.
How would a book like this be printed and sold? Well, that is one of the main issues at hand for me.  I have pondered who the reader demographic will be and continue to do so.  Stay tuned on this answer in my next blog this week.  I'd rather give a more concrete answer then rather than brainstorming my ideas here for all to be bored with.
