Sometimes things happen at just the right time.
When the amazing Lael Couper Jepson of SheChanges asked me to speak at her SheSpeaks: Rebel Yell event in May, it was just the right time.
I got the chance to tell the story of how Carnival Ninjas went from idea to reality to retired to reawakened. And it was an amazing experience.
Stay tuned and I will post the transcript of the talk later on.
Thanks for watching.

We were ready.
We had ordered 40 sheets of car cards printed on goldenrod cardstock. The perfect color for gifts of happiness.
It was on. We were going to distribute some smiles. We were going to spread some holiday cheer. We were going to brighten a few days people.
We bounded into our friendly neighborhood StaplesⓇ to pick up the tools. We were positively vibrating with excitement.
But then we were met with a further challenge. The interwebs had eaten our online order. Staples did not have our order.
This was disappointing news. But we did not let this get us down. Carnival ninjas do not get discouraged. And carnival ninjas are masters of improvisation.
We bought supplies: one package of yellow coverstock, three pairs of scissors and two black pens.
Then we got down to business.
We hand made cards. They looked like this:
It was time.
Cards were slipped under windshield wipers, handed to people and left next to cash registers. The recipients of these little yellow joy packages got this message:
You Are Beautiful.
We hope it brought some smiles and warmth to the last minute errands of the holiday season.
It made us smile.
Happy holidays ninjas.
Alright ninjas, the time is come. Rubber to the road. Toes to the highwire.
Go time.
Who doesn’t need a little uplifting during the holiday season?
Nobody that’s who.
Where ever the holiday shopper is in need of a smile, the carnival ninjas will spring into action. When the bags loaded with gifts become too heavy, the carnival ninjas will attempt to lighten the load. When all seems endless and all hope has been lost, the carnival ninjas will be there.
I’ve developed a very special tool. This tool will help you gentle reader in your holiday acts of carnival ninjary. You can find it here.
So get to it it lovelies. The world needs you.
