WORTH WORKS

is...and is about...

starting over

Worth Works has always been about starting over, but its focus has been disguised with the beautiful (read: socially accepted) veils of "encouragement" and "enthusiasm" and "creative exploration". The truth is that Worth Works' founder and head cheerleader, Stephanie Hansen, has spent her entire life recovering from round after round of serious depression, using writing and art to resuscitate herself year after year, each comeback as difficult as the last, every one a new beginning.

Beginning in December of 2006, a series of traumatic events and losses that continued to devastate Ms. Hansen's life until the Spring of 2008. Emerging from the deep trauma-related depression late that summer, having left behind the home she loved, buried one dearly beloved child and been frighteningly betrayed by the other, she is now wondering how to start over in a world that seems infinitely colder, hopelessly corrupt, and heartbreakingly less promising than the one she was sure of less than two years ago.

 

The head cheerleader of Worth Works has retired her position; 'the comeback kid' is slow on the comeback this time. If you are looking for a website that promises you "365 Days to a Full Balanced Happy Life" then you better go look somewhere else because I don't know what dreams may come.

What comes next is the chronicling of what is and isn't left, a bearing witness, the 'awareness therapy' of continually acknowledging that I am still here whether I really want to be or not.
