A Nonprofit Movement

The role model for the Halcyon Days movement is Carla Wiessing. Carla cares about people and expresses empathy in everything she does. Her inspiration comes from the need to care of other people. I asked Carla if you were branding yourself, what would your motto be? She sent links to the following:

“A kingfisher, said to be the first bird to fly from Noah’s ark after the deluge, supposedly received the orange of the setting sun on its breast and the blue of the sky on its back. It was considered a symbol of peace, promising prosperity and love.”

“The ancient Greek myth of Halcyon is a tender story of love and commitment, which explains the Halcyon sunny days of calm seas and winds. The Halcyon days or Alkionides Meres, as Greeks call them, appear in mid January every year.”

“Halcyon is a type of kingfisher bird that nests by the sea where sea-charming winds blow, so that its eggs are protected during the nesting period. The phrase Halcyon days today also signifies prosperity, joy, liberation and, of course, tranquility”

She genuinely cares about others, she is a builder. In all of Carla’s relationships, she does her best to provide Halcyon Days that help to protect, build and strengthen those around her. Carla has 2 beautiful children in college and an awesome husband. She extends Halcyon Days to everyone in her life, personally and professionally.

The Halcyon Days non-profit movement is an attitude of support. Providing Halcyon Days to those around us is the goal. How can I help others to be the best person they can be? That is the gift Carla gives to the world every day in everything she does. She is builder. The movement is about building the people around us up by looking out for them.
