LAVERNE'S STORY
As a life-coach whose primary focus is on how women support others, I constantly look for stories of women finding their purpose and their passion and moving forward with it boldly. Here is one such story.
My friend, Laverne, is involved with the most amazing project! I had to share it with you, because her story is so moving, and because it is full of inspiration. Just look at what one woman can do when she gathers the support of others – she can move mountains. Here’s what she wrote as a promotional piece:
A Quiet Place
lullabies and more…
The Vancouver Chamber Choir is embarking on the third disc in our Music for Healing series, entitled ‘A Quiet Place - lullabies and more…’
Our intention is to integrate the concepts of ‘Finding the Still Point’ and ‘Unexpected Gifts’ in a way that helps children and parents find that inner stillness which is so healing.
The disc will combine lullabies and other gentle songs, interspersed with soothing poems. It is our hope that the CD will be calming for children who are agitated, reassuring for those who are frightened, and comforting for those who are ill or grieving.
Parents - whether or not their children are in difficulty - need resources that enable sharing moments of calmness and connection with each child. This disc will be focused on creating such an environment.
To fund this new CD we are offering limited edition covers to donors. Families will have the opportunity to put a picture of their child or family grouping on the cover of the booklet. For a $1000 donation, the family will receive 10 CDs with their picture on the cover and a tax receipt for $850.
Most recently, Laverne shared with me that many other influential people have gotten on board with this project. She sent me the booklet containing samples of the narration and it moved me to tears.
She also has been invited to be at the International Congress on Palliative Care in Montreal in September to distribute this beautiful CD. This is a conference of over 1500 health care professionals from all over the world. (How’s that for making a difference?!!?)
