This is my very favourite project.

And this month I am doing 850 of them with a local school.

You are familiar with it as I talk about it often. I named it Paddle Your Own Canoe. I love it because of what we get to discuss. Core strengths.  I get to ask little and medium sized people (and their teachers/ principal too) What would save you in a (ice) storm? What gets you through difficulty? What floats your boat when someone is trying to sink it?

It is an opportunity to nurture character. And revisit my own.  It gives me the shivers.

The difficulty is with choosing one characteristic because they have so many things they love about themselves.

They need to choose one word.

What would yours be?
