​Lend an Ear ​ Life is full of obstacles. Some of the obstacles we face are small in nature and relatively easy to overcome.  Other obstacles can be more challenging and sometimes life changing. If you notice a friend struggling with an obstacle, make every effort to talk with her. Set up a lunch date, call on the phone, or stop by her house with some treats.

​"To listen closely and reply well is the highest perfection we are able
to attain in the art of conversation."~ Francois de La Rochefoucauld

“Holiday gift suggestions:  To your enemy, forgiveness.  To an opponent, tolerance.  
To a friend, your heart.  To a customer, service.  To all, charity.  To every child, a good example.  
To yourself, love and respect." ~ Unknown

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
