🥶 Protect yourself this winter by bundling up!

Dress in warm layers and protect your extremities. For wheelchair users, try moisture-wicking and thermal-based layers, and an outer layer to protect from the elements. Remember to keep layers dry.

If you are forgetting your mitts, hats, gloves, scarves, or coats, put a Post-it on your door to remind yourself to put them on. If you have to journey in cold weather, it's also a good idea to tell someone where you are going, and how long you will be.

It is a day to increase awareness of the impact of stress on us in the workplace, at school, and/or at home and consider how to decrease its negative impact.

Today is a reminder to be good to yourself every day. Whether it's a walk outside, sharing a laugh, or just stretching for a few minutes, these small acts help reduce stress and recharge your spirit. Celebrate National Stress Awareness Day by committing to those little habits that keep you grounded and joyful.

Halloween candy can be tempting, but remember: moderation is key! 🍬✨

Too much sugar can lead to energy crashes and affect your health.
Instead, try satisfying your sweet tooth with natural sugars from fruits. 🍎🥝

If you have dentures or sensitive teeth, steer clear of hard or sticky candies. 😬

Always follow your doctor's advice for what's best for you! Let's keep living independently and healthily together!

These gatherings are sacred evenings of connection and reflection, guided by Elder Eric G. Martin monthly. Inspired by the sweat lodge tradition, the Full Moon Smudge Gathering provides an opportunity to honor the powerful energy of the full moon.

The full moon is a time for releasing negativity, inviting healing, and giving thanks for the blessings in our lives. Together, we will gather around a sacred fire, share stories, offer prayers of gratitude, and experience the cleansing practice of smudging.

This gathering is open to all who seek to connect with the wisdom of the full moon, embrace traditional teachings, and step into a space of renewal and healing.

Come with an open heart and a spirit of reflection as we release what no longer serves us and welcome positive energy into our lives.
