March 2023:

Our March workshop was so much fun!! We celebrated St. Patty’s Day with the youth, but more than anything…. We showed up for them and listened!

We would love to grow our volunteer base. That doesn’t mean you have to come every month. It just means that a few times of year you will come be a blessing!

What a beautiful Chicktime Christmas Party we had this month!
We got enough donations from our community to be able to give each youth 2 presents and did a white elephant system to give them to the kids. The courage cords were special gifts from Chicktime Charleston Park Circle Co-Leader, Beth . They say things like “you got this girl”, “I can, I will, watch me”, and “ I’ve got this”. The boys bands were simple leather bands. It was fun and full of love. It’s so humbling that the kids are waiting for us to arrive!
God knew our chapter needed to be here.
Join us in January. Come love where you live!

March Update:

Chicktime Charleston Park Circle sent the girls a Finger Labyrinth, they can be ceramic, or molded or drawn out on paper. It is a tool used to help you practice Mindfulness. You simply trace your finger around the path and focus on a positive affirmation, a prayer or nothing at all. The idea is to help train your mind to focus on a single thought and stop being so scattered. Mindfulness has been shown to help with ADHD, Anxiety and Depression. You learn to focus your thoughts on something more positive or to stop your mind from wandering. Each of the girls got a painting and then used bubble paint to outline the path so there was a textured feel to it and they could even follow the path with their eyes closed if they wanted to really try to relax.
