As we contemplate the Thanksgiving season and the rush into Christmas, take a moment. Care!
I helped at the November Birthday Party Project at a local women's shelter. The month's theme was Care Bears and yes, there was a mascot. (see me above). When the Care Bear arrived, one of the birthday kids screamed and would have no part of this scary creature. The other two birthday kids were excited, and all of the other children ran up for hugs, pictures, and a magical moment.
We had Care Bear themed stuff to hand out, games and crafts to play and do, plus singing "Happy Birthday" for November. Then cupcakes. It was a noisy messy party - we always call it "controlled chaos". Kids left happy - a goodie bag in hand and hopefully a happy memory during their lives in transition.
Take a moment. CARE
