LEGO Bricks Aren't Just For Kids!

LEGO Bricks Were My Connection to My Mom!

I have loved LEGO bricks for as long as I can remember. I never gave my childhood collections away and continued to add to my collection as an adult. I always found a way to use them in teambuilding and tabletop exercises in my leadership and security management classes. My Mom Doris forgot who I was in 2014, yet somewhere in her brain  memories remained of the thousands of hours that we spent making LEGO creations together, because whenever I  would get the LEGO bricks out Mom's blank stare  would disappear, her eyes would light up and she would instantly click the bricks together. I loved the fact that LEGO bricks became my primary connection to my Mom and were  an incredible way for us to engage. 


Building with the LEGO bricks kept Mom occupied and calm for long periods of time and she always seemed happy playing with them. I began offering LEGO classes for kids and adults since they brought so much happiness to my Mom, so in 2014 I became a trained facilitator in a methodology called LEGO Serious Play which helps organizations communicate and work together more effectively. I also wrote my own courses for kids and adults that taps into their creativity. I created a  collection of LEGO fidget toys and puzzles for Mom when she could no longer build  the way she used to. In 2018 I began using LEGO Serious Play with caregivers and those with dementia building Joy and Hope  and became a trained facilitator for virtual sessions in 2020.  In November 2021 we were featured in Season 4 Episode 6 of Robin Robert Thriver Thursday series which focused on our play and connection  with LEGO bricks. As the photo on the left shows, Mom loved playing with LEGO bricks all the way up to a few days before her death on January 31, 2022.
