You are on a mission with Ms. Hsieh to spread the positive energy to "turn over" the current situation. We will continue to make a positive impact on people. We can all heal through this process together.We will carry the legacy of Boston Strong. 
Art is a powerful way of communication. 
 When we heal others, we heal ourselves.

To be open-minded.
 Look at a thing from different angles.
Be the positive one to "turn over" the others.  
Love is contagious.
