Ch-ch-ch-changes!

By strawJenberry
Ch-ch-ch-changes! Change happens whether we like it or not.  But it can be very inconvenient, or exciting or all of the above.  What am I talking about? Well, have you ever clicked on a Pinterest link/pic only to find the link is dead or does to a completely different page? I’m not talking about strategic redirect, I’m talking about a page that exists, but is no longer available. I first discovered this when I created my aMuse Journey in a Day packet.  Over time I received dozens of emails from frustrated leaders who could no longer find the resources at […]

aMUSE in a Day Outline & Photo Album

By strawJenberry
aMUSE in a Day Outline & Photo Album   The strawjenberry “Comprehensive Guide to Completing the aMUSE Journey in a Day” has been completed.  Whoop! This post is the accompanying photo album. My photography skills are not so great (next on my list of skill building tasks!) are mediocre at best.  For that reason I didn’t want to include photos in the e-book.  Hopefully they will give you a visual of the day and help you come up with ideas.   Journey Outline A. Reach Out   A Flurry of Roles   Team Prop Box   Take the Stage   […]

The Bittersweet End of the Year….and a Freebie!

By strawJenberry
The Bittersweet End of the Year….and a Freebie! I’m always relieved when the last service unit leader meeting comes and goes in June.  Our service unit ends the year with awards, raffle prizes and a mother-daughter ice cream social.  Afterwards, I breathe a sigh of relief that there is one less obligation to contend with and one more Monday a month that I can enjoy summer!  I think back to February and March when I toyed with the idea of holding meetings during the summer.  I always come to my senses in May and realize that summers off are a […]

Happy New Year! Let’s Talk Activity Overload…

By strawJenberry
Happy New Year! Let’s Talk Activity Overload… Recently I had a very embarrassing thing happen.  With all 8 of my Girl Scouts as well as two parents in tow, I arrived at a council activity an hour after it ended.  I had gotten the time wrong.  My phone and planner said 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. and the activity was actually from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.  I was mortified. I kicked myself, shed a tear or two and tried to turn it into a positive as an example to the girls.  I put on a brave exterior, bought them […]
