New Beginnings
How often we wish for another chance
to make a fresh beginning,
A chance to blot out our mistakes
And change failure into winning –
And it does not take a new year
to make a brand-new start,
It only takes the deep desire
To try with all our heart To live a little better
And to always be forgiving
And to add a little "sunshine"
To the world in which we're living –
So never give up in despair
And think that you are through,
For there's always a tomorrow
And a chance to start anew.
--Helen Steiner Rice--

We Remember them
At the rising sun and at its going down; We remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter; We remember them.
At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring; We remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer; We remember them.
At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of the autumn; We remember them.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends; We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live, for they are now a part of us as We remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength; We remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart; We remember them.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make; We remember them.
When we have joy we crave to share; We remember them.
When we have achievements that are based on theirs; We remember them.
For as long as we live, they too will live, for they are now a part of us as, We remember them.
— Sylvan Kamens & Rabbi Jack Riemer

Winter walks aren’t just exercise—they’re self-care.
Here’s why stepping outside in the colder months can do wonders for your well-being:

Mood Boost
Fresh air, soft light, and quiet winter scenery help clear your mind, ease stress, and fight the winter blues.

Mindfulness
Snow and ice ask you to slow down and stay present, turning your walk into a grounding mindful moment.

Better Sleep + More Energy
Daylight exposure helps regulate your circadian rhythm—meaning deeper sleep and a natural daytime energy lift.
Immune Support
Light cold exposure + movement can help give your immune system a healthy nudge.

Connection to Nature
Winter’s beauty offers a refreshing change of scenery and a chance to reconnect with the world around you.

So bundle up, step outside, and let winter become part of your self-care routine.

Why Not Me: Living with Invisible Illness by Lindsay Ireland

Chronic illness doesn’t always look the way people expect—and Lindsay Ireland’s story proves exactly that.
In Why Not Me, she shares a life marked by courage: an eleven-year-old girl navigating invasive treatments and an ostomy surgery, a young woman facing an MS diagnosis, and a mother determined to reclaim the sense of self that illness can so easily erase.
What makes this memoir powerful isn’t just the medical journey—it’s the emotional one. Lindsay shows the cost of appearing “fine” in a world that doesn’t understand invisible illness, and the strength that comes from letting others in.
If you or someone you love is living with chronic health challenges, this book is an important, validating read. It’s a call for compassion, visibility, and the reminder that vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s survival.

FREE INFORMATION SESSION

This presentation is a learning opportunity focused on building our understanding of dementia in our community. Whether someone is unfamiliar with dementia or has personal experience with dementia, this session will hopefully teach everyone something new. The session will start with establishing a baseline understanding of what dementia is, what some of the most common types of dementia are, and what the progression of a dementia involves. From there we will look at how we can adapt our communication to connect with an individual at any point in the progressions. This will include looking at behaviour as another means of communication. The final portion of the presentation will focus on the care partner, aka an individual who is supporting someone living with a dementia. Care partner burnout, ambiguous loss, and resources for support will all be touched on here. The session will end with a Q & A period.
