This is so beautiful and powerful at the same time.

Thank you Rose for your kind comments.

What's compelling/mysterious about this heartfelt piece is that Lisa didn't go into detail about the destruction which erupted in her room and broke her precious figure, but the trauma of a personal act against one's core and need for safety still comes through by her words of resilience and love for her own daughter.

I had a similar thing that was a barometer. I wish I knew what happened to that!

I think it had our birthstone on it too.

Mine was pink and my brother’s was blue…

I had one of these! Purple, with an amethyst birthstone for February. I adored it.
