Life Hat Grumpy Character

​Being a Character Being a character does not mean that you are not being yourself on the contrary I believe that you are who you need to be at that moment to deal and cope with what is going on in your life.  ​Taken on a character is different than building your character traits.  Your character traits are who you are, who you wish to be, while being a character or taken on a character is more often than not a temporary stay.

​Introducing Character in A Jar for Children​ Build and reinforce positive character traits at home, in the classroom, after-school programs, youth groups, or wherever you interact with kids and teens. Have children pick a character for the day,  “Patience,” “Compassion,” “Tolerance,” "Giving" and many more. This can actually be a good gift for adults as well.

"The final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands."~ Anne Frank

Writing Hat ​ Writing Just To Write Thoughts on a piece of paper, writing with no rhyme or reason simply to get in the groove of writing is good practice. Feeling the keys under my fingers while watching the letters become words, words become sentences, sentences soon to hopefully be paragraphs in the chapters of a new book.

" Writing is self discovery that others can enjoy" ~ Unknown
