It’s our opportunity to honor our Veterans and The Hummingbird Project wants to share meaningful acts of kindness for your families and clients!
Visit a Veterans hospital. Being of service offers purpose, meaning and socialization and is great way to brighten everyone’s day, plus there will likely be a fascinating exchange of stories about their time in the service. Wear a uniform, bring music or photos to share. Make a special day of it and enjoy lunch together afterwards. If an outing isn’t possible, gather heroic stories of Veterans to share with your loved one. Reminisce about the values of serving our country and make a list of honorable things you can do together on your community.
Hope it is a most special day!

“As a writer on aging who lost a mother to Alzheimer’s disease, I’m acutely sensitive to not only the challenges of aging, but the opportunities it offers for us to reconnect. I like the Joyful Moments cards because they include simple yet engaging activities that can bring more joy in surprisingly simple ways. I especially like that they’re broken down into categories that address the physical, emotional, intellectual, creative, environmental and spiritual worlds. I wish I’d had them for my own mom.”
— Matt Perry, Journalist and Author on Aging

Leaf Rubbings for Creative Expression
/in Uncategorized /by kariJoyful Moments by The Hummingbird Project is the first deck of therapeutic activity cards to address creativity as it’s own domain of wellness. That’s right—we don’t see creativity as just an activity, we see it as a necessary and integral component to holistic wellness. Creative aging is the key to promoting self-expression and helping individuals to thrive! Make a Leaf Rubbing is a great way to warm yourself up to creative activities if they are new to you or your care/activity partner; it’s failure free, easy, and requires few materials (a leaf, paper, pencil or crayon).
