Hello all!
Sorry it took me so long to get this post up on the blog. I ended up having troubles with getting the gmail account set up. UWO didn't want me to write on here obviously. ;) Here are my experience insights!
I really enjoyed the cafe experience! Despite the small turnout (ten people), we still had a great time! I sat at a table with three other individuals and we created "worry boxes." We wrote three worries on slips of paper and put them in small wooden boxes, after sharing what our worries were. We decorated the boxes, with paint markers. Alot of people put inspirational quotes and biblical references on the boxes, including myself. We all shared experiences and worries that we have, depending on what was on our minds at the time. I shared worries pertaining to graduate school and finances. A few of the people had worries pertaining to old age and care-taking for family members. After we all finished our boxes, it was just about time to go. We said our goodbyes and I helped the volunteers clean up. I thought it was an enriching and fun experience and I look forward to going again soon!
