Continuation of "New Year - New Habits" Series:

We know that small habits add up to big change. One simple way to support your energy, focus, and overall wellness is by planning healthy snacks before your day gets busy.

Being prepared means you’re less likely to grab something that derails your goals—and more likely to stay fueled, nourished, and feeling your best.

Here are a few smart snack ideas that keep calories in check while boosting good health:

🌱 Veggie Packs + Hummus
Crunchy, colorful, and loaded with vitamins. Pre‑cut carrots, celery, or bell peppers make this *grab‑and‑go* option a favorite.

🍎 Apple Slices + Nut Butter
A perfect mix of fiber and healthy fats to keep you full and satisfied. Try almond or peanut butter—just one spoonful goes a long way!

🥚 Hard‑Boiled Eggs
High in protein and easy to prep ahead. Sprinkle with pepper or everything‑bagel seasoning for extra flavor.

✨ Healthy habits start with simple choices.
✨ Planned snacks = planned success.

Keep fueling your bodies with the care they deserve.

🌟 GRADUATE SPOTLIGHT 🌟
Santa Monica House is proud to celebrate one of our recent graduates, whose courage, honesty, and dedication have transformed her life and her recovery journey.

Before arriving, she viewed treatment as simply a way to stop using substances. But through the guidance of our staff, counselors, and her peers, she discovered something deeper: the need to look inward, understand herself, and rewrite the way she thinks.

- Monique helped her feel worthy again—reminding her that she deserves love, happiness, and freedom from toxic relationships, and encouraging the self‑forgiveness that changed everything.

- Leslie continually showed her the strength she already had, reassuring her that she could do this.

- Cece guided her in digging into real emotions and uncovering what was truly going on beneath the surface.

- Larissa’s straightforward, no‑nonsense approach created the discomfort necessary for honesty and growth—because “nothing changes if nothing changes.”

Her time at the Vinton House provided more than substance‑use treatment—it offered holistic healing. She learned to stop searching outside herself for solutions and began rebuilding from within. She says she was placed at Vinton for a reason: the caring women in the house helped her begin building a positive, sober support network. Even the rules that seemed “petty” at first became a foundation of integrity for long‑term sobriety.

✨ Congratulations on your graduation and the incredible strength you’ve shown every step of the way. Santa Monica House is honored to be part of your journey.

A huge thank‑you to Providence Church for visiting our Intermediate Residential program and spreading so much love on Saturday!

Black History Month is a time to honor the legacies, leadership, and cultural impact of Black Omahans whose stories continue to shape our city.

Right here in Omaha, we hold powerful pieces of American history:
📍 Malcolm X Birth-site – One of the most influential human rights leaders of the 20th century was born in Omaha in 1925. Today, the Malcolm X Foundation maintains the historic acreage and is developing it into a vibrant cultural and educational center. https://visitnebraska.com/

📍 Great Plains Black History Museum – Located in North Omaha, this museum preserves and celebrates African American stories across the Great Plains. Permanent exhibits like Hate & Hope and 24th & Glory shine light on civil rights, athletics, culture, and the powerful contributions of local Black leaders. https://gpblackhistorymuseum.org/

📍 24th & Lake Historic District – Once the beating heart of North Omaha’s Black community, this area is rich with music, activism, and entrepreneurial history. It’s home to landmark sites such as the Omaha Star building and the historic Webster Telephone Exchange

This month — and every month — take a moment to learn, visit, and support the places that preserve Black history in our city. Omaha’s story is richer because of the generations who built, led, fought, created, and inspired here.
