S.M.I.L.E
gatherings


One of the challenges of choosing to focus on motherhood full-time is the lonely feeling that we lack co-workers.
Momivate wants to solve that problem by inviting Moms to
join a MomUnity (a Community for Moms!).
We are still working on the details -- here's the general vision:
A MomUnity will gather weekly (in person or online) to S.M.I.L.E. together --
this is an acronym for:
SUPPORT
MUSIC
INSPIRATION
LAUGHTER
EMPOWERMENT!

Each MomUnity will be led by a Momivator who will prepare the guide the Support aspect of the SMILE gathering and lead the Empowerment discussion. Other MomUnity Members (M.U.M.s) will contribute the Music, Inspiration, and Laughter portions as invited by the Momivator.

The "empowerment" portion of the meeting is based on the question: What do Moms DO?!
Moms R.A.I.S.E. U.P. Society
Each letter of this acronym helps to define how a mom can be a force for good,
uplifting not just her children, but society as a whole.

SMILE Gatherings from the past

Want to know what a SMILE gathering is like?? 
We've hosted a few as we are getting things started, and uploaded the recordings onto YouTube. Here are the links to get a glimpse!

The Value of Smile

Below is a paraphrase of an essay quoted by Dale Carnegie in his famous book
"How to Win Friends and Influence People."
This was an advertisement in the newspaper for a department store
​during the holiday season!

A smile costs nothing, but creates much.
It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give.
It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
None are so rich they can get along without it,
and none so poor but are richer for its benefits.

It creates happiness in the home,
fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends.

It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged,
sunshine to the sad, and Nature’s best antidote for trouble.

It cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen,
and it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given away.

And if we come across someone too tired smile, let us give them one of ours,
For nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to give!
