Announcing our NEW Grit with Grace Workshops for Teens!
I frequently run across folks who don’t know some of the practical, what I call, essential skills for survival in the world. Things like how to fix a loose door handle, leaky faucet, how to safely jack up a car and change a tire, how to jump start a car, or even how to chop wood and make a fire. Granted, in today’s world, many may never need to do any of these things – but what if they have to?
Courage ● Confidence ● Self-reliance
Not that I am an expert, but I have been fortunate to have people along my path of life teach me some valuable skills that I never knew I would need! I learned about plumbing, electrical wiring, how to rebuild a car engine, how to run power tools and the scariest – chainsaws! In turn, I have taught my children how to change oil and more when they were young teens, have taught friends how to fix a fence, how to operate a chainsaw, how to change a flat tire and lots more.
Today, may youth will not have learned many of these practical skills by they time they are ready to move off on their own or go off to college. Just having the knowledge of HOW to do some of these practical things gives us power AND helps keep us more safe – makes us less vulnerable to those whom prey upon others. These ‘Grit with Grace – on your own’ sessions are designed to empower teens to learn to tackle tasks they might otherwise not have the confidence or know-how to do!
