Fay Shlanda,

Writer, jewelry maker, and a person with mental illness

Fay is refusing to relinquish her life to her sadness

Her past traumas, she is putting away on a shelf

Through spiritual teachings, she works on her self

Though she has known some hardships and strife

She would not trade what she’s learned from this life

Creating is something she does to cope

She writes about it, to bring others hope
