Shiny Shrine

Helper Heather and Lisbeth.

Lisbeth's little corner devoted to Milkweed. She had fun choosing all her favorite objects to add to Milkweed's shrine. Lisbeth is The Queen of Knick Knacks, and loves to go shopping for kitties, birds, gaudy frames, and all things shiny and PINK.

Lis has been feeling alot better this week. And we have the green light to start the Cymbalta. Fingers crossed it will help with her anxiety, depression, and neurogenic pain...

Lisbeth's Blue Bird Angels Mandala

My daughter Lisbeth suffered a traumatic brain injury when she contracted a viral illness in 1988 at the age of six, and she continues to be challenged by multiple difficulties including uncontrolled seizures, behavioral disturbances, learning disabilities and developmental delay. Despite these challenges, Lisbeth's mighty spirit and creativity are remarkably intact. She creates extraordinarily beautiful cut paper snowflakes - hundreds of them (it is ironic that a cluster of seizures is called a "flurry...") and like real snowflakes, each one is unique. Lisbeth sometimes refers to her creations as "brains," which is poignant, for in the making of each snowflake/mandala, it is as if she is recreating her brain. Lisbeth sees figures, animals, and objects in the cutout shapes of each one of her designs, and says that these are what the brain is thinking!
