Explanation of Mask: On my mask, the lighthouse represents my new location in North Carolina.  The green and gold eyes signify that I am from Green Bay, Wisconsin.  (Go Packers!) The sailboat and butterfly images are characteristics of freedom and transformation, just as a caterpillar forms into a butterfly.  Various adjectives on my mask have different meanings; for example, family means support, life is better than the alternative, to be ready is to be prepared for what is to come, recovery is a continuous process, use your head to think, keep in touch/communication with others, home is always a nice place to be, and love always.
