“‘It’s dark because you’re trying too hard,’ said Susila. ‘Dark because you want it to be light. Remember what you used to tell me when I was a little girl. “Lightly, child, lightly. You’ve got to learn to do everything lightly. Think lightly, act lightly, feel lightly. Yes, feel lightly, even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.” I was so preposterously serious in those days. … Lightly, lightly—it was the best advice ever given me. … So throw away all your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly, my darling.”​ — Aldous Huxley, Island, 1962

🎉Congratulations to this incredible group of graduates from Flagler OARS’ Peer-Based Recovery Support training!

This free, two-day course (held Feb. 11–12 at SMA Healthcare in Bunnell) focused on building strong, ethical, person-centered supervision for peer support—covering topics like integrating peers into multidisciplinary teams, cross-cultural supervision, boundaries, and self-care.

We’re proud of everyone who showed up, leaned in, and is helping strengthen recovery support in Flagler County. Your work changes lives.

Naloxone training at St. Francis yesterday! 💙 Huge thanks to Justin Sweat for co-facilitating this important session with us. It was a ton of fun and so rewarding to share life-saving knowledge with the team. Every trained individual is another life potentially saved. 🙌
