I greatly appreciate everyone’s patience over the last week. A little office update, I’m down with Covid, one kiddo has flu, and the other has flu and strep. Izabel is holding down the fort and is available if anyone needs to pick up or drop off donations for the giving Jay or has questions about scheduling.
For emergencies, it is best to call 988, COPES, or 911.

Watering the Soul by Country Peppernell

"The magic happens
when you slow down
and take every moment
for what it is."

Watering the Soul by Courtney Peppernell
Chapter 1- Slow Down

"This is the thing
about life and
all its chaos.

Most of us are
so eager
to get to the
next moment
or memory.

We want the
next adventure,
or journey,
or road to travel.

We want our
tomorrow
so swiftly
that so often
we forget to
be here now."

Watering the Soul by Courtney Peppernell
Chapter 1- Slow Down

"It was as though you had blinked and suddenly the year was over.
You had just been watching the countdown, sitting on your
living room floor, wine bottles all around,
laughing with the love of your life.
Then you read the book you said you were always going to read,
and you finally went to the opera and cried through the final act.
You bought seven new plants and promised you would buy a new pair of shoes. Those old loafers were worn.
You never did throw them out.
Then the love of your life left, for a while, it seemed like the world had stopped right alongside you.
Only it hadn’t.
The world carried on.
And then winter came, with snowdrops on windowsills and trees baring it all before spring returned, promising so
many new things: the way it always does.
And there was someone new and beautiful.
Someone who gently took your hand and danced with you, whispered that there was moonlight in your eyes.
You never thought you would make it.
But you learned something that year-
Life could be more than surviving;
It could be lived."

To all who celebrate, may this Holi bring moments of connection, reflection, and hope.
And for anyone in a difficult season, may this be a reminder that new beginnings can start quietly.

Holi reminds us that life and healing are not one-dimensional.
We can carry joy and sadness, hope and uncertainty, rest and growth at the same time.
Mental health is not about feeling one thing all the time. It is about making space for the fullness of being human.
Wishing peace, color, and care to those celebrating Holi.
