This holiday season, we extend our heartfelt gratitude and warmest wishes to our patients and their families. As you reflect on cherished moments, honor the loved ones you hold in your heart, and look forward to the promise of a new year, please remember—you are never alone. Circle of Life stands with you, offering care and support every step of the way.

To our remarkable team, volunteers, and supporters: your compassion and dedication are the heart of everything we do. You bring light and comfort to others every day, and we encourage you to take time this season to care for yourselves as well.

May your holidays be filled with peace, love, and hope.

We are so grateful to all of the carolers who blessed us this holiday season with their beautiful voices and musical talents. A special thank you to the Gentry Mennonite Youth Group, Springdale Central Junior High School Choir, Gospel Light Church, and our wonderful local family groups for sharing the joy of the season with us.

We’re looking for a new size of vases to add to our collection! 🌷

If you have any vases that are 5 to 5½ inches tall with a circumference of about 3 inches, we’d love to have them. These smaller vases are perfect for the arrangements our volunteers create for patients and families.

Donations can be dropped off at any Circle of Life location during regular business hours. Thank you for helping us bring beauty and comfort to those we serve. 💐

The Circle of Life staff and volunteers extend a heartfelt thank you to Mary Travis, a long-time volunteer, for generously providing today’s Holiday Lunch. Mary is truly a ray of sunshine and a devoted part of our volunteer family.

To add to the fun, our staff held a Holiday Bake-Off featuring their favorite seasonal desserts. Congratulations to Michael Starkey for his winning Lemon Raspberry Cake—earning him this year’s Golden Spoon Award!

This week, our hospice homes were filled with meaningful reflection during our annual Lights of Remembrance gatherings. Families, friends, and team members came together to honor the memory of those who continue to hold a special place in our hearts.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared stories, and stood together in remembrance. It is a privilege to walk alongside our community—both in moments of care and in moments of honoring those we miss.

May these lights continue to shine brightly in our hearts.

We recently had the opportunity to attend the Creative Aging Community Program at Crystal Bridges Museum of Art, a workshop dedicated to bringing Art + Wellness to seniors in Northwest Arkansas. Four of our amazing Volunteers—Lynne Eid, Sharon Nelson, Jennifer Travis, and Lara Tuepeker—joined in as we explored needle felting, cyanotype, and mono-printing with local artists.

This program is helping organizations across NWA find new ways to spark creativity, connection, and joy for the people we serve. We’re excited to bring these new skills back to our patients and launch bedside “art kits” and a Mobile Art Lab event this fall.

Thank you, Crystal Bridges, for inspiring us to share the healing power of art!
