This week's episode started with technical difficulties but ended with a powerful message about community support during difficult times. When a grieving grandmother in our sewing group asked if she could skip painful ornament memories with a pink Christmas tree, we didn't just give permission - we gave her new ornaments handmade with love. Kind of a binky for this grandma - just different shapes. Stll a reminder that we care.

As we enter December and Binky Patrol's 30th year, I'm challenging you to find your own way to make a difference. Whether it's supporting neighbors during government shutdowns, turning family gift exchanges into charity donations, or organizing blanket-making gatherings, there's always a way to help.
