Sharing Treasures

Not only is it important to cherish and appreciate what is in others, it is equally important to share the treasures that are inside of one's self. Hold a resident showcase and ask those with special or secret talents to participate. Perhaps, you have a woman who loves to sing. See if you can find someone who might like to sing but hasn't done so in the past and match them to do a duet. Or, ask two residents who both grew up in a specific area or had a similar upbringing, family life or profession to read two short accounts of what it was like for them and then compare and contrast the stories. If you have a resident who was a writer and a resident that has always wanted to write, match them together to write/read a short story.
