Let’s talk lucky charms today. No, not the cereal, that stuff has never crossed my lips into my stomach. I prefer non-sugar filled, no artificial sweetener filled cereals.
Let’s talk of charms that bring their owner luck. Some people believe very strong in carrying items around with them to either bring them luck or those all important smiles and good thoughts. They may just toss it in their pocket with their loose change, fold it neatly and put in their wallet, or lose it in the cavernous depths of their purse.
Others seem to use their entire house as a collector of memories and good thoughts, with stuff they have gathered over the years in every nook and cranny.
Now, whichever way they are kept, some items (lucky charms) are found, many are carefully picked out, and many received from others. And, guess what, we can all be the others!
Shelly, yes, the same Shelly who started and worked extremely hard at Share A Square for an entire year, has come up with another way for us to show the children that attend Camp Sanguinity that others care about them. And you don’t have to knit or crochet this time or sew (but they are needed, too!!). It is called, “The Good Medicine Project”.
All you have to do is find a small, not so fragile, item that feels special, and send them to Shelly to put in little hand made medicine bags for the kids. A little note or poem would be great to tag each one.
Now, I am one of those people that says, “HUH? What do I send as a charm?” I guess I am a little slow in that department, but you guys aren’t. And, besides, Shelly gives you examples of some of the special tiny items she had at her own home that were special to her, but she is given them up for the kids. So, let me send you other to her post. This is something ANYONE can do, the only real money involved is postage to mail a tiny object… ’cause most of these things can be found objects — no bigger than a half dollar.
Just think, these kids might start looking around their environments and find a token to add of their own to create new memories. Click here:
