In the world of creativity and support, one remarkable teacher is making a difference as a CMM — Certified Meep Maker. The term “Meep” has been around since 1920, typically referring to a brief, high-pitched sound. However, today’s Meeps are not about noise; they are soft, adorable, and cuddly emotional support orbs designed to provide comfort and relief during life’s overwhelming moments.
What is a Meep?
Emotional support orbs are small, crocheted creatures that serve as companions during tough times. They are roughly the size of a hacky sack and are crafted to help carry stress and promote relaxation. According to a description on All You Meep Is Love, “Meeps are mighty and they like to hold things, especially heavy things. They’re here to help you manage your burdens when life feels too lifey.” Just give your Meep a squeeze, and it will support you however long you need.
A Movement of Kindness
All You Meep Is Love is more than just a project; it’s a movement dedicated to spreading kindness and compassion. The concept was brought to life by a devoted mother and English teacher, Clara Jensen. “I’ve been teaching for nearly 20 years,” Clara shares. “I adore my students and the connections we form. Teaching is unique in that way. I love sharing my passion for Meep-making with them, and they are my biggest supporters.”
Each week, Clara sends a “Meep of the Week” to one student from each of her classes. At the end of the week, she highlights a student’s achievements before unveiling the Meep they’ve won. “I want them to feel acknowledged and special, and to know that I care,” she explains.
Beyond the Classroom
But Clara’s mission goes beyond her classroom. Since crafting her first Meep — a black hole — in 2019 for a friend, she has shared these comforting creations with friends and strangers alike. Clara sent me a Meep after reading an article I wrote on trauma, as she aims to spread love and support to those in need.
“What I hope to achieve with Meeps is twofold: I want to infuse more kindness into the world, and I love hearing how they help people,” she says. “I also want to remind people of the power they possess. Many people share their trauma stories with me through Meeps, and I hope to help them feel seen, loved, and empowered to confront their challenges.”
Clara adds, “Trauma can make us feel isolated and powerless, but we have choices, and with those choices comes strength.”
Adopt a Meep
The best part? These wonderful Meeps are not for sale. Clara doesn’t sell them; instead, they come into your life when you need them. You just cover $5 for shipping and handling for up to five Meeps. You can even download the patterns to make your own! Clara shares her secrets, provided you agree not to sell the Meeps or the patterns, keeping the kindness movement intact.
If you know someone who could use a Meep, you can adopt one on their behalf. These small but powerful orbs can brighten even the darkest days.
