I was back at Arise this week after having to cancel last week due to losing my voice. It was lovely to be back! Highlights included Round and Round the Garden, which was a request from the mom of a young toddler, making said toddler giggle with delight, Sleeping Bunnies under the parachute, and rhythm sticks. The aforementioned toddler also kept going from her mother to another woman she felt comfortable with, and it was nice to see the moms helping each other out in this way. There is a nice community feel at this shelter.
