Testimonials
Through her wonderful art and eloquent speaking ability, Donna Fado Ivery combines her own journey with a profound theology of healing. She reaches deep within herself so that we may reach deep within ourselves to find that wholeness of spirit that we all want. While each individual’s journey is different, Donna’s journey casts light on our own. She speaks to the very core of our beings, and we have much to learn from her.
On Saturday our family hiked up to the top of Fresno Dome and released Bill’s ashes to the wind. I had given my three Scarf of Tears to our daughter, Bill’s wife, and a very close friend. It was the anniversary of Bill’s death. The scarves help us hold the memories as well as our tears. LeAnn tied the scarf around her straw hat and will take Bill to far and exciting places. We all will hold our memories close. Thank you so much for sharing your healing work and art with us.Knowing how helpful the scarves are for us, I’d like to order two more.
The Table of Tears touches all of us directly or indirectly and speaks to the power of Godʼs grace. Even when we have been wronged by others, we can decide to let our anger and hurt run our lives or, with God’s help, forgive. Donna’s sermon about the parts of the Table of Tears eloquently describes the brokenness caused by fear and the renewing life we can have when we let go of our resentments and pain.
