"J"
Join THE JOY BRIGADE! Each week this group of do-gooders will band together to bring joy to others. Maybe they'll write thank you notes, maybe they'll stand (6 feet apart) and applaud as hospital workers change shifts. To see this week's CHALLENGE...
OTHERS
"O"
We can't ONLY take care of ourselves, but we can't NOT take care of ourselves either.
So do one thing each day that brings you joy. And send in a picture of you doing it! Pictures will be posted in the gallery below.
