#thisishowIbrave

The BRAVE headbands have given Kelsey and her brother a true sense of support and a feeling of kindness.  Then, Kelsey’s incredible school librarian included us in the evening book fair last night.  We sold 35 books and 60 headbands to further increase our outreach and raise awareness in our community.

We are grateful for all who have helped and supported us in September, which brings us to October.

October 1 brought the launch of #thisishowIbrave.  Kelsey’s nominations will be in soon to start the fun and help the world see how brave each of us can be.

Celebrate with a Shake

The end of an epic year is upon us.  This year has been filled with experiences, pride, insight, and connections.  Authors Dan and Chip Heath explain how these factors elevate our experiences and change us The Power of Moments.

To culminate this year, our new tradition is to end the year with the celebration of a shake.  We discuss the year we tackled and the joy and challenges is brought to each of us.  Our one of a kind “freak shake” is offered  at a local restaurant.  The shakes are a sugary delight and an experience we enjoy together.

We connect, unwind, and share our favorite memories of the year.

Each year is worth celebrating but some feel more elevated than others.  This one felt especially exciting.

Perhaps it is coming off of a flag football Superbowl victory for our son or a violin rendition of Best Day of my Life for Kelsey?  Perhaps it is because with each new year comes new ways to learn and new bright spots to celebrate?  Perhaps it is just because freak shakes are just that good…

Either way, we celebrate today and the joy that the end of one phase brings along with the start of another.
