‼️ REMINDER: Jingle and Jammies is happening TONIGHT @ 6 PM!!‼️

The crafts are hung, the fur babies are bribed, Steve is decorated🦌, Winter Solstice is here, and Christmas is sneaking up!
🕯️ ’Tis the season for emotions other than joy, gratitude, and togetherness to make a sneaky appearance. This holiday season, I challenge you to notice when those feelings arise, without judgment.

🌬️ Pause, take a slow breath in through your nose, and let the exhale be just a little longer. Feel your feet on the floor, your body in the room, and remind yourself: this moment doesn’t need fixing, only witnessing. Let the feelings move through, rather than taking over.

✨ Ground yourself in the present moment, and let come what may. ✨

Lights of Love is happening again this year at the Drummond Island Medical Center, and postcards will be arriving in island mailboxes and PO Boxes this week.

If you’re new to Lights of Love, it’s a long-standing December tradition that gives our community a way to honor someone special. For a five dollar donation per name, we display a paper light inside DIMC with the name of your loved one. These donations help provide medical supplies for island residents in need. 💡

This year we’re adding something new. You can include a short message about the person you’re honoring, and we will share their name and tribute in our Lights of Love Stories on Facebook. If you want to include a photo, email it to educate48108@gmail.com.

How to take part
• When your postcard arrives, fill it out and return it with your donation.
• Or pick up a form inside the medical center. When you walk in, look for the Lights of Love drop box in the lobby. Forms and envelopes are right there, and completed ones go into the drop box.
• You can also print a form here: https://tinyurl.com/ypeddcax

• Donations can be dropped off during business hours or mailed to DIMC, PO Box 98, Drummond Island, MI 49726.

There is no caroling gathering this year, but the tradition continues, and this new Facebook feature will help us share the stories behind the lights.

♥️ Lights of Love runs all through the month of December, and we’re glad to help you honor someone important this season.

I may forget social media more than I’d like, 😅 but here’s a peek at the past month! Fingers crossed I can do the same for the months to come. 📷🧡🐾

🧘‍♀️ No yoga this week, keep an eye out for December's schedule!

🧘🏼‍♀️ Don't forget: yoga today at noon!

🦃 Gobble till you wobble your way to yoga!

🥧 Big meals with family or friends can leave anyone feeling weighed down, especially after a few days of leftovers.

🥔 As someone who deals with long-term gastrointestinal illness, holiday meals can bring up anxiety. I often wonder if something I ate will trigger a flare-up that lasts for days; add in the usual holiday stress and it becomes a lot to carry.

🥖 When the mind feels crowded and the season feels overwhelming, stepping back is tough. Yoga, meditation, and mindful breathing have helped me find space again.

🍗 Showing up is not always easy. Excuses stack up quicker than the dishes. But with motivation and consistency, real change begins.

🧘‍♂️ Find the quiet. Find the calm. And maybe find a few feel-good stretches too. 🧡

❗UPDATE FOR TOMORROW:❗

🥒 Due to Township Hall’s availability, tomorrow’s class will now be held at the Drummond Island Elementary School and will be just half an hour long. This stretch session will focus on winding down after the games and will require no equipment at all. This class is still open to everyone, pickleball players or not!
