"The grandparent advantage — the gift grandparents AND grandfriends give the next generation — provides younger generations not just knowledge but purpose, peace, hope, and roots." Check out our latest blog post written by Generations United Executive Director Donna Butts, which is titled "Celebrating Grandparents Day 2023 & The Grandparent Advantage" https://lnkd.in/e67ssd-5

Light is incorporated into recognitions, commemorations, and celebrations worldwide, from memorial services to birthday candles and celebrations. One activity in many of our groups and programs during this time of year is Luminary Making, where kids and teens can create a lantern to share memories, feelings, and hopes. We encourage kids and teens to think about where they might want to keep this at home and remind them they can turn their lanterns on at any time of year to remember the person who died, share memories, feelings, and hopes, or be a reminder for self-care. Discover more about how luminaries represent something unique and can be a reminder of many different things. https://ow.ly/6ARO50Qpcm9

I thought I knew what the next couple of months were going to look like... It has been a wild ride the past few years. Both professionally and personally. I was fully prepared to put some professional ambitions on the back burner to focus more on the personal ambitions that I have been neglecting lately. BUT.... this event on Wednesday has me intrigued to learn how I may be able to keep my entrepreneurial fire burning bright while still providing my family and myself with proper attention! Who is going to join me for this timely message as we head into a reflective season to prepare for an impactful reset? #chca #businessowners #personalgrowth

Does your church conference, retreat, or special event need a speaker? 😍 I speak about joyful living despite the circumstances at association conferences and companies, and I hope to do this for a long time. But, did you know the message comes full circle at my Messy Joy Church Conferences? And that I’d love to bring one to your church? 💜 This topic may surprise you on LinkedIn, and if we have different views, let’s love each other anyway. While I don’t hope to ruffle any feathers, I am posting this here because churches are businesses, too. Here’s a glimpse of what my church conferences look like: https://lnkd.in/gvgrbbKW This sold-out conference took place at Brooklyn Presbyterian Church. The tech may have taken a nosedive just before we started, but the joy of the Lord was our strength and we asked Him to hijack the day. We rolled out a good old TV and had a ball giving Him the glory and unpacking joy through faith, with James 1: 2-4 as our guiding scripture. The length of these conferences can be customized for your community’s needs, but on this day, we had 5 hours together to learn, laugh, pray, eat, and connect. Everyone walked out with a copy of my bestselling book, Messy Joy… and they left believing they deserve joy in their own lives, eager to give it away. If you’d like to learn about bringing a Messy Joy Church Conference to your town, let’s talk. You can help by sharing this post! #messyjoy #churchevents #professionalspeaker
