A Simple Ball of Yarn

Cynthia, a High School counselor, shows us how a simple ball of yarn can
become a web of love. Here is her story:

We were seated in a circle on the carpeted floor. One member of
the group tossed a ball of yarn to someone across the circle,
holding tightly to one end. The recipient took hold of the string
and listened as the one who tossed it shared something that she
especially liked about him. Keeping hold of the string, he then
tossed the ball across the circle to someone else and affirmed
something positive about her. The ball of yarn was tossed across
and around the circle until everyone had both heard and shared
encouragement... and thus the yarn became a woven web of love and
good feelings....

Before we went our separate ways, I took scissors and snipped
Through the web. Each person took a piece of yarn away as a
remembrance of the special words they heard. Surprisingly, many
of them wore cherished pieces of yarn around their wrists for
days and days....
>
This became an asked for tradition in our high school. But of
course, it could be done with any group... most any age... most
any place... and a simple ball of yarn becomes a web of love.

Cynthia reminds us of the power of encouragement. Everyday we can
affirm others in our life, thereby creating an invisible web of
love.
