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!).

A SMILE gathering is a discussion group where moms meet to empower each other to take control of their own mothering journey and SMILE together:

Support

Music

Inspiration

Laughter

Empowerment

We start each group with a support time to talk together about concerns in our individual lives. Then we share music, inspiration, and laughter that has got us through out weeks.

The empowerment portion of the meeting is a discussion based on one facet of 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. Click here to learn more about the R.A.I.S.E. U.P. acronym

Interested in joining a group? We currently have a few pilot groups already running in Salt Lake County, Utah.

SMILE GATHERINGS FROM THE PAST

Want to know what a SMILE gathering is like?? We hosted a few over zoom as we got things started, and uploaded the recordings onto YouTube. Get a glimpse here!

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!

OUR GROUPS ARE RUN BY VOLUNTEER MOMIVATORS
