When the prairie wind is howling and the snow is piling up, it’s the perfect time to slow things down. Brew something warm, grab a cozy blanket, and reach for a book that supports your well-being-mind, body, or spirit. 📚❄️☕️

For this Wellness Wednesday, we’d love to hear from you:
What’s your favourite wellness book right now?
A title that’s helped you manage stress, shift perspective, build healthier habits, or simply feel a little more grounded. 🤓

Drop your recommendation in the comments and consider sharing this post so we can build a community reading list to help each other through the storm - on the roads and in life. 🫶

Stay warm. Stay well.

This ❤️

Holidays can be overwhelming. I was reminded of that this week at a breakfast meeting, sharing stories from years ago—when the children were young and the pressure to be everything to everyone felt relentless. The late-night tears at 1:00 a.m. while wrapping the last gifts. The scramble to have a perfectly clean house for family visits. The endless errands to make it all happen. 😢

Please know this: it does not have to be like this.

You deserve care and compassion too. This holiday season, support your own mental health by giving yourself permission to:

• Set boundaries
• Rest without justification
• Accept help when it is offered
• Say no—without guilt

A little kindness toward yourself goes a long way. 🥰

🌲 The Memory Tree at St. Vital Centre 🌲
Open during mall hours now until December 23

The holiday season can be a beautiful time—but it can also be hard. For those grieving, this time of year may bring feelings of loneliness, loss, or being out of step with the world around them. The Memory Tree, an initiative of Palliative Manitoba was first created in 1987, offers a gentle space to reflect, remember, and honour loved ones who have passed.

If you’re visiting St. Vital Centre, you’ll find the Memory Tree in front of the former Hudson’s Bay. You’re invited to stop by, connect with a caring volunteer, share a memory, and place a card on the tree in honour of someone special.

💚 Many rural communities also host their own Memory Trees, offering local spaces for reflection and remembrance. If you’re outside the city, check with your community organizations to find one near you.

You’re not alone this season—your memories matter, and they’re welcome here. ❤️

🌟 December: A Month of Kindness & Support 🌟

As we step into December, we’re reminded that this season isn’t just about holidays—it's about heart.
It’s a month to slow down, show compassion, lend a hand, and check in on the people around us. 💛

Small acts of kindness can make a big impact:
✨ Send a message to someone who’s been on your mind
✨ Offer support to a coworker or neighbour
✨ Practice kindness toward yourself

At Prairie Willow Wellness Training, we believe in building communities where people feel seen, supported, and valued. Let’s make December a month filled with warmth, encouragement, and kindness—one small gesture at a time.

💬 Share in the comments: What’s one way you’re spreading kindness this month?
