A big THANK YOU to all those that came to our Crafting Change class at the Museum of Uintah County last night! It was so fun to learn embroidery as we discussed setting and honoring boundaries, as well as enjoying each other’s company.

We are working hard at scheduling upcoming events, so please keep an eye open for those.

Grounding exercises are coping skills we can use to help us become anchored & centered in the present moment. The 3-3-3 method is pictured here, but there are many different grounding techniques you can try.

Try this exercise the next time you start to feel overwhelmed or anxious—then take note of how you feel afterward 💛

Crying isn’t weakness—it’s healing.

When we cry, our bodies release hormones like oxytocin and endorphins. This can ease pain, reduce stress, and even build closer connections with others.

It's okay to let it out & let yourself cry when you need to!

You are not defined by your lowest moment. And every time you rise—after loss, after struggle, after pain—you prove your strength.

Healing doesn’t mean never falling. It means getting back up, over and over again. And that strength lives in you. 💛

A HUGE thank you for everyone who attended our Crafting Change class at the Jensen Park. It was a blast to make tumblers and discuss positive self-esteem, too bad the wind didn't agree. For those whose tumblers had to be heat pressed at a later date, you can pick your tumbler up at the Jensen Park tomorrow (7/31) from 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm. We hope to see you at our next event.
