☕ Have you been wondering what Isaiah 117 House is and how it will impact our community?
Or maybe you’re part of the foster care community (parent, advocate or supporter) or you just want to get involved, but can’t make it to monthly meetings, feel nervous attending one, or just aren’t sure how to start the conversation.

That’s why we’re launching Pop-Up Coffee Conversations!

📍 Starting this week with two locations:
• Wednesday 1/14 | 9–11am – Be Known Coffee (Little River)
• Thursday 1/15 | 12-2pm – Grand Strand Coffee (13th Ave S. Myrtle Beach)

These pop-ups are simply an opportunity to slow down, grab a cup of coffee, and have meaningful conversations about how our community can support children entering foster care.
This week is only the beginning, over the next few months, we’ll be popping up at coffee shops across Horry County on random days and times (with plenty of notice).

No presentation. No pressure.
Just coffee, conversation, and connection.
See you tomorrow ❤️

Why NAMIWalks?

NAMIWalks is more than a walk. It is a movement rooted in NAMI’s mission to provide education, advocacy, and support for individuals and families affected by mental illness.

We walk to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and strengthen a vision where all people affected by mental illness live healthy, fulfilling lives supported by a caring community. Every step helps fund free mental health programs, support groups, and educational resources that create real change at the local level.

When we walk together, we move closer to a future built on understanding, hope, and recovery.

Your Body’s Warning Lights (What They Might Mean) ⚠️

1️⃣ Craving ice like it’s a snack 🧊
This can sometimes be linked to low iron levels.
Relatable mistake: I thought it was just “a quirky habit”… then I realized my body was basically sending a notification 😅

2️⃣ Night cramps ruining your sleep 🦵🌙
Often connected to magnesium being low or out of balance.
A little mineral boost can make a big difference.

3️⃣ Random eyelid twitching 👁️
Not always stress (even though stress loves to take the blame 😄).
It can be a sign of mineral imbalance or fatigue.

4️⃣ Cold hands all the time 🧤
Sometimes your circulation needs support, or it may relate to iron, B12, or thyroid function.

5️⃣ Brain fog or forgetfulness 🧠
If you feel “off” mentally, nutrients like B12 might be worth checking.

6️⃣ The smart move ✅
If you notice 2 or more of these signs, a simple checkup + basic blood tests can give you clarity (and peace of mind).

Your body talks… it just doesn’t use words 😄

Cloves: A Small Spice with Big Health Benefits 🌿

Cloves are the dried flower buds of the clove tree, originally from Indonesia. Despite their small size, they contain valuable compounds such as eugenol (a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory), along with vitamins C and K, fiber, manganese, calcium, and magnesium.

Including just 1–2 cloves a day, either on an empty stomach or before bedtime, can contribute to noticeable improvements in overall well-being.

11 Health Benefits of Cloves

1️⃣ Relief for toothache and gums
Their natural anesthetic and antibacterial properties can soothe pain and reduce infection.

2️⃣ Fresher breath
Cloves help fight bacteria responsible for unpleasant odors.

3️⃣ Improved digestion
They stimulate digestive enzymes, easing discomfort like bloating, nausea, or constipation.

4️⃣ Cold and cough support
Their antiviral and soothing qualities can calm the throat and help clear mucus.

5️⃣ Stronger immune system
Rich in antioxidants, they help the body defend against free radicals.

6️⃣ Blood sugar regulation
They may support balanced glucose levels, which is helpful for people with diabetes.

7️⃣ Anti-inflammatory action
Cloves can reduce discomfort linked to arthritis, joint stiffness, and inflammation.

8️⃣ Liver protection
They support detoxification and help safeguard liver tissue.

9️⃣ Relief from headaches
Mild analgesic effects can ease migraines or tension-related pain.

🔟 Respiratory health
Cloves can clear nasal passages and make breathing easier.

1️⃣1️⃣ Sexual health support
Traditionally used to improve circulation and boost vitality.

How to Use Cloves Safely

Begin with 1–2 cloves per day.

Chew them slowly to release the essential oils before swallowing.

A simple daily practice with meaningful benefits for long-term health.
