Right before Christmas, team members at our Network Support Center in Johnston chose a day to “bring back the brooch!" Some pins were recent finds; others had history behind them. What started as a lighthearted holiday idea quickly led to conversations, shared stories, and time for cross-department camaraderie that doesn’t always happen on a normal workday.

Those moments matter ... not because they’re sentimental, but because they help build the kind of familiarity and trust that makes teams work better together. It was a day for a small tradition, a lot of connection, and a reminder that culture is built in simple, human ways.

Who says Christmas has to end on December 25?

This moment didn’t make it to our social media before the holiday rush. And honestly, that feels fitting: The spirit of Christmas isn’t a switch you flip. It’s joy, humor, generosity, and looking out for one another. Those are things worth carrying with us as we close out the year.

Just before Christmas, team members at The Village, A WesleyLife Community in Indianola surprised executive director Heather Frank by gift-wrapping everything in her office. Desk. Chair. Windows. All of it.

Her reaction said it all. Moments like these reflect the kind of culture we work to create every day, rooted in connection, laughter, and genuine care for one another. The calendar may turn, but those values don’t.

So we’re sharing this now ... because joy doesn’t expire with the close of the year!

Today marks the first day of Kwanzaa, a holiday based on seven principles with a day devoted to each one. The first day, called Umoja, focuses on unity. The others emphasize determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith.

Kwanzaa, which translates to “fruits of the harvest,” has been observed for 54 years in the United States. The holiday week extends through January 1. May its principles enhance the lives of all who are enjoying it this week!
