~Blissful Escapes ~
For Moms of Children with Cancer
Inspired by my son Austin who was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma I created “Blissful Escapes”, for Moms of children with Cancer. The Escapes are designed for moms to get away for a weekend and focus on themselves. The journey of having a child with cancer has many unknowns of physical and mental challenges. It can weaken the strongest caregiver. The weekend will bring hands on tools for moms to take back home to continue to nurture themselves while they nurture their children. They will receive art therapy, massage, yoga, laughter, life coaching and much more. They will walk away with a “bhappybag” designed for them to keep “bhappytools” when their mental and physical strength are running low.
These escapes are designed to not only help them during this journey of cancer with their children, but with any other difficult challenge they may come across.
Our first Blissful Escape is January 21, 22, 23 – 2011. Ten moms will be gifted a weekend away, all donated by other women and kind contributions in the Portland area. Just a few short weeks ago another inspiring and giving non profit joined our contributors, Lens of Hope. They have written a wonderful blog about the Caring Cabin that our moms will stay at. I could not have written it any better so chose to just link you to their blog. Thank you!
With Love and Gratitude ~
