🎄We had a great time at our annual holiday party - so much fun with the mounted and unmounted games, and of course our annual“Neigh”bourhood trivia game! An awesome afternoon with a delicious potluck and huge thanks to our amazing volunteers Andi and Nikki for organizing the games and prizes (& The Fall Jar donations 😉), and to Joan, Denise and Martin for setting up.

Big thanks to all our wonderful sponsors for the awesome prizes donated to our event!!❤️

We don’t have to be “the best” at all we do….life is a journey- enjoy the ride! 😊

“When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of ‘getting to know you’ questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.
“And he went wow. That’s amazing! And I said, ‘Oh no, but I’m not any good at any of them.’
“And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: ‘I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.’
“And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could ‘win’ at them.”
