Happy Easter everyone 🐣🌸💛

I wanted to share something I’ve been quietly working on ✨

It’s called Carry Kindness. One small real-world act of kindness helps a shared Kindness Moth continue its journey 🐛💫

Just small moments, passed from one person to the next 🤍

If you feel like trying it out, I’d love that:
https://carrykindness.net/

Feel free to make suggestions in this post if you have any thoughts after trying it.

Hope you’re all having a lovely day 🌷💛

A quiet interactive website where one small real-world kindness helps the shared Kindness Moth continue its journey.

You’re invited to a Valentine’s Video Dance full of music, movement, and shared smiles! This all-ages, all-abilities dance is a welcoming space for families, kids, teens, adults, and elders — whether you love to dance, wiggle, sway, roll, clap, or simply enjoy the vibe.

Join us in person or dance along online from home. Come dressed up, dressed comfy, or dressed however makes you feel good. Move in big ways, small ways, or no ways at all — everything counts. This is a pressure-free dance where everyone belongs and participation is always your choice.

Bring your family, your friends, or just yourself. This Valentine’s celebration is about connection, inclusion, and having fun together — exactly as you are.

🐑 We’re at Coombs Family Day! 🐑

What an amazing event! 🎉 Families, community, and so many great activities—this day is full of warmth and connection. We’re loving the energy and all the wonderful conversations happening here!

And of course, we brought some sheep-themed reminders for when you’re having a B-A-A-D day. 🐏💛 Our stickers offer little words of encouragement because we all need a boost sometimes.

✨ Even if today is baa-ad, tomorrow can be better.
✨ Wool you be kind to yourself today?
✨ Call/Text 9-8-8 anytime you need support.

Come by our table, grab a sticker, and let’s keep making this incredible event even more meaningful. We’re here to help—any time. 💙

Wow! What a night! 💖✨ With 120 in-person guests and 42 virtual attendees, our Valentine’s Masquerade Dance was an unforgettable celebration of community, fun, and connection. From creative mask-making, face painting, and our Community Connections Room, the night was filled with smiles, energy, and a whole lot of love.

💡 Special thanks to our incredible Leaders in Partying for keeping the Zoom experience running smoothly, handling muting, admitting guests, and making sure everyone felt welcome. We had some tech hiccups (including a blurry camera after it fell—oops! 😅), but we’ll make sure it’s all fixed up for next time.

💬 If you attended in person or online, what was your favorite part of the night? Drop your highlights in the comments! ⬇️

Thank you for being part of this amazing event! Until next time… keep dancing! 💃🎶
