September 11, 2001 – Never Forgotten

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the heroes who ran toward danger to save others. It's been 24 years, but the pain, the bravery, and the unity of that day still echo in our hearts.

To the first responders, the victims, the survivors, and every person impacted by 9/11 — we honor your courage, your sacrifice, and your resilience.

May we never forget. 🕊️

Sometimes the best moments are the simple ones — a shady spot, good company, and a flock of friendly ducks by our pond. 🦆🌿 Enjoying a peaceful afternoon feeding the ducks and soaking in the summer breeze. Life’s better when shared with friends (feathered ones included)! 💛

🎨✨ Glow Up, Mandala Style! ✨🎨 Who says art has to stay on the page? At our assisted living community, residents are lighting up their creativity—literally—with illuminated mandalas!
🌀 First, they color or design beautiful, intricate mandala patterns. 💡 Then comes the magic: we back their masterpieces with translucent paper and place them in front of soft LED lights or windows. 🌈 The result? A glowing burst of color that turns every hallway into a radiant gallery!
Why we love this craft: 🌟 Visually stunning—like stained glass, but cozier 👐 Totally accessible—templates or freestyle, everyone shines 🧘‍♀️ Calming & sensory-rich—color, light, and joy in every step 🤝 Builds community—shared creativity that sparks conversation
It’s more than art—it’s a moment of wonder. Come see how light and imagination combine to brighten our days! 💖
