A Lesson in Gratitudes | Tales from our 1st Day
Gianna and Gus create artistic gifts for each other. It’s a small group but sweet at pumpkin pie.  6 girls and 4 boys all making art and exploring the practice of gratitude during this Thanksgiving week camp. “What are gratitudes,” I ask the group.  Blank stares all around.  It sounds kinda familiar to most but they can’t quite put their finger on the meaning of that big word. “It’s like when

Be Exactly Who You Are says Big Bird and Mr. Rogers
In celebration of Sesame Street’s 40th Birthday, I can’t help but think back on all of the shows that formed my childhood.  I am definitely feeling old as I am having that “shows ain’t what they used to be” feeling going through my head.  PBS was just on fire with shows like Sesame Street and Mister Rogers.
