weeks of 6/3-6/20/2001 date: time: location: silent time word: I intro sentence: i say good-bye to spring... jewel box: closing spring — the gift closing: set personal goals for the next two weeks/silent time notes: This is the last meeting of the season — the projects and discussion themes have focused on the way we, as mothers, express ourselves. Our self-expression goes beyond our external looks, reaching into our homes and all that we touch. For the closing spring season meeting, gather your circle of moms in an antique store, a specialty boutique, a garden nursery, or any place you can find a treasure for your home that reflects your self-expression. You may wish to look for items that will welcome in summer — a special plant for the garden, some sheer fabric for curtains, or perhaps a unique candleholder for your porch. As a circle you must decide ahead of time on a place where you're going to meet and shop. Remember to provide ample time for exploring the shop(s) and for each circle member to purchase an item that expresses the way she feels about her home. Celebrate this special gathering by closing your meeting in a place of comfort — sharing your great finds over seasonal food and drinks. to do list: Discuss each member’s creative accomplishments (include everything from baking/cooking to starting a new business). Write them in the circle journal. Decide the summer season’s lead moms Get a group photo Make sure every member has written in the circle journal Thank one another for the circle! Special note to lead moms: Please write the mother i website and share your experience of being a member of a mother i circle! Colleen@motheri.com |
