What Ice Breaker?

As soon as the women of Marguerite's Place, Inc. arrived at the gathering space, drawn in by the festive, fall decor and do-it-yourself mini-pies, Family Support Night transformed into an instant and heart-warming if not hilarious story-telling social circle.

What normally starts with prompts about their weeks wins and challenges turned into boisterous banter about pranks gone wrong, you-had-to-see-it-to-believe it workplace tales, bus drop off boo boos, and unique holiday traditions.

There's just something magical and mesmerizing about circling up with a relaxing and creative experience to enjoy together, filled with warm hearts and bellies. Lively debates about squash vs. acorn shaped cookie cutters and all.

And yes, they left with goals for the week, including everything from getting bloodwork done to calling school transportation about said bus stop boo-boos, but most importantly they left having enjoyed a much needed break and slice of fun, with smells of baked cherry and apple following them home.

As a health coach, resilience coach, and recovery specialist, nothing warms MY heart more than witnessing the power of connection and community on mindset, resilience and overall well-being.
