As you sip your favourite brew, take a moment to reflect on the love that surrounds us—not just romantic love, but the love shown through compassion, care, and connection. At Comfort Keepers, we believe love is found in everyday moments: a shared smile, a warm meal, a gentle conversation. We provide in-home care that brings comfort, dignity, and joy to seniors in our community. Let’s celebrate all the ways we can show we care. Because love, much like coffee, is best when shared. Happy Spring from Comfort Keepers!
Exercise your Eyes
Do you suffer from headaches, sore neck, shoulder tension or jaw tension? Your eyes could be a part of the issue. With so much screen time, our eyes can get tired and strained. Eyes have muscles that control our focus. We want to be able to take them through a full range of motion and let them relax. Make a full circle with your eyes in one direction, and then the other. How much of your peripheral vision can you see without turning your head or your eyes? Do you notice less tension elsewhere? Try this a few times a day and see what happens.
Community Support for SOS
Supporting your community is one of the most rewarding things you can do. Consider volunteering or making a monthly donation to sustain vital SOS community programs. Whether you volunteer to assist a senior with grocery shopping or help at the SOS Thrift Shop, every effort contributes to uplifting lives. By choosing to contribute monthly—whether it’s $10 or $100—your support will help provide nutritious meals to children, youth, families and seniors, and ensure local residents have critical support when they need it. Join us in making a difference and feel the fulfillment that comes with giving back. Learn more on our website.

Integrity Matters More Than Chemistry in Dating
Dating today can feel like a complicated science. Dating apps were meant to simplify the process, but instead, they often overwhelm us with choice and stall decision-making. That’s why approaching dating with intention and strategy matters. Many people focus on a checklist of qualities—funny, attractive, charming—but these are like décor in a house. If the foundation is weak, no amount of decoration will make it stable. In relationships, that foundation is integrity—when a person’s words and actions align. Without it, the relationship is likely to collapse.
Emotion Code for Allergies
I have had an allergy to cats since I was a teenager. Last year I was going for a week’s visit to my son’s home in Alberta. He & his wife have three cats, so I performed a Body Code session on myself. I remembered that my cat had to be rehomed when my sister was born. In the session, I found and released the trapped emotions of sadness, grief, heartache, resentment, and fear. I had a wonderful visit without any allergic reactions to their cats. I had been holding on to these emotions in my subconscious as well as my body for six decades.
Time for New Dentures?
We used to be able to extend the life of a set of dentures by a year or so with relines, and then, when feasible, build a new set. Without warning, the rules have changed. People who are trying to get the most out of their dentures and save for new ones must now wait 24 months instead of six. If your dentures are over five years old and won’t last two more years, you may want to wait until you are eligible for new ones and forget the reline. Contact Accura Denture Clinic for all your denture needs.
Motivation is Key
Motivation can change anything. When we are motivated, we feel empowered and driven to take action. It helps us set clear goals, develop actionable plans, and stay focused on achieving them. Motivate Me provides personalized support to help you reduce and quit tobacco, vaping and nicotine products through one-on-one and group support. We will empower you with the mindset, tools and encouragement you need to succeed. Programs are tailored to meet the needs of each specific individual and group. It’s time to change how you think about nicotine. Let’s get started.
