{"product_id":"finding-roots-and-wings-project","title":"Finding Roots and Wings Project","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is said that “We must have roots and wings: roots to know where home is, and wings to fly off and practice what we’ve learned.” Our “home” is the place that is curated over a lifetime. We find the places that make us feel safe, loved, secure. We build it from the ground up, incorporating pieces of where we grew up, the people we trust, and pieces of the world that we’ve explored. However, we need wings to find our pieces of home. We must venture out into the great unknown and find what is home for us. This project is a reminder that we must trust both our roots and our wings. The home that we’ve built for ourselves is a place that encourages us to be our best self and to be rooted in these ideals, but our wings will help us find the best place to plant our roots.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFinding Roots and Wings Project Directions\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eCollage vintage book page onto a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wood\" target=\"\"\u003ewooden house shape\u003c\/a\u003e.
