In the year before we started talking about “before times,” our team used to hide little dolls around the office with messages. It was a way to create community, connect with people in spontaneous but intentional ways and bring a smile to someone’s day. The “babies” – and there were 3 different ones – would pop up in people’s drawers, in files, the kitchen cupboard, on windowsills.
Well it’s been a year. I’m not sure where all the babies are but this week, one of them was found in a pocket of a colleagues sweater. She keeps the sweater on the back of her chair and although she’s been in the office off and on since Covid, today was the day she put on that sweater and felt the lump in the pocket.
It was such a treat to send this photo out to team members.

What fun! I can imagine your coworker’s surprise when she pulled it out of her pocket. There are so many little things like this that I miss about the “before times.”

It sounds like you work in a really, really fun office! I love this slice, and the accompanying photograph! And who cares if it’s a minute late. Maybe we could just extend each other a little grace in this very crazy year!!!
