Silk Scarves--Meaningful or Just a Luxury?

I've been struggling with how to make my art meaningful and of real service to people. Somehow scarves, even hand painted silk scarves such as I make, don't seem ....well, they seem like just a luxury. How can they REALLY make a person's life better or help her through life challenges? 


Amy Wilson Cavaness gave me these encouraging words:





Take it from me---sometimes a beautiful piece of fabric wrapped 
around my body means a great deal to me----the colors touch me 
in some emotional way, I feel beautiful, I feel special, I'm able to express 
something about myself by the way I wear it----a beautiful scarf
 isn't necessarily "just a luxury". Even plaques with words on them 
really have no meaning unless those words mean something special 
to an individual at that moment.

Thank you, Amy.
