TIPS OF THE
MONTH - MAY, 2013

Carole's "Fab Find" of the Month
Each month, Carole spotlights a "Fab Find" which she defines as
"something that I've discovered that will save time, money, sanity or
will otherwise enrich your life. It may vary between serious and silly,
but whatever it is, you can bet it will be fabulous!"
Read on for Carole's "Fab Find" for May**:
Do you love candles, potpourri and all things sweet-smelling? Me too.
I am also a firm believer in the power of aromatherapy and its ability to
comfort and even bring a smile - I know that it does for me. No matter
the time of year, my scent preferences never change. When I catch a whiff of apple-cinnamon, pumpkin or clove, it
just makes me feel good.
My daughter recently gifted me with a Scentsy warmer and of course, my very
favorite scents (see above!). I was unfamiliar with Scentsy products, but
I am totally in love with both the warmer and the scents. It heats quickly
and disperses a wonderful scent. Plus, it is far more economical than
candles which, if you are anything like me, you can go through very quickly.
Scentsy products can be found at
www.scentsy.com. Treat yourself to a Scentsy warmer and your favorite
scent(s) - you deserve it!


ATTENTION SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!
CAMP ERIN ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA IS
ON JULY 19-21, 2013
DEDICATED TO CHILDREN WHO HAVE LOST A LOVED ONE
Almost 1.5 million children under the
age of 18 years have experienced the death of an immediate family member. Few
receive any kind of formal support after loss. In Orange County, California
alone, it is estimated that 27,500 children and teens are grieving the death of
a loved one. Bereaved children and teens often feel isolated in their grief,
but rarely receive formal grief counseling as parents and family members
frequently struggle to find adequate support resources within their communities.
CAMP ERIN ORANGE COUNTY is
a weekend-long bereavement camp for children and teens, ages 6-17 years,
who have been impacted by the death of someone close to them. Locally,
this camp is hosted by the KP Caring Foundation and it is part of the
largest network of bereavement camps in the nation initiated by The
Moyer Foundation (www.moyerfoundation.org).
Camp is filled with traditional, fun camp activities that are combined
with grief education and emotional support; all lead by
grief professionals and trained volunteers. Camp Erin Orange County, to
be held on July 19-21, 2013, provides a unique opportunity for
peer bonding between children and teens facing a similar
life circumstance.
Camp Erin Orange County is offered free to all families. Camp
space is limited so families are encouraged to apply at www.kpcaringfoundation.org or
for more information, please call Noreen Carrington, LMFT at 714
884-8714 or send an email to
camperin@kpcaringfoundation.org
