Laughter is the Best Medicine
My New Year’s resolution is to stop procrastinating. But I’ll start next week.
Did You Know?
The process of laughing increases your respiratory rate. The increased oxygen consumption causes you to enter a state of relaxation for a period of time.
Words to Live By
We wish you and your family a joyful, bright, healthy, prosperous and happiest new year ahead! Happy New Year!
New Year New You
The start of a new year invites reflection, renewal and a fresh sense of possibility. Reiki can support this shift by helping you feel grounded and clear as you set new intentions. This gentle practice encourages relaxation and allows the body to release tension and emotional strain. Many people feel lighter and more centered after a session, which can make personal growth feel more accessible. Reiki also fosters mindfulness, helping you tune into what you truly need as you move forward. Whether received from a practitioner or used as self care, Reiki offers a simple way to step into the year with calm and clarity.
Alzheimer’s Awareness Month
January is National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, and the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba wants everyone experiencing dementia to know that the Society is your path forward to community and connection.
Through the Society’s programs and education opportunities, they open the door to a community of people who truly understand. Whether through Minds in Motion, support groups, or simply meeting others on a similar path, the Alzheimer Society helps you build meaningful connections and feel supported every step of the way.
Throughout the month, the Society is sharing stories from Manitobans navigating dementia to increase understanding of the disease and highlight the impact of community support systems.
Book Club: The Mountain is You
Transforming Self-Sabotage into Self-Mastery by Brianna Wiest. Explores how conflicting inner needs create self-sabotage and resistance to change. By understanding our patterns, building emotional intelligence, and releasing past experiences, we learn to stop blocking our own progress. The book teaches us to act as our higher future selves so we can move toward our true potential.
Emotional Regulation in Children
Helping children understand and manage their emotions is one of the strongest protective factors for lifelong wellbeing. When kids learn healthy regulation skills, they build resilience, strengthen relationships, and improve their overall mental health. Parents play a vital role—practicing strategies at home, noticing early signs of distress, and creating consistent routines. Mindfulness, yoga, sensory activities, music, and positive self-talk can all support emotional awareness and calm. Because every child’s needs are unique, setbacks are normal, and progress varies. When challenges arise, therapy can offer individualized tools to support both children and their caregivers in building confidence and emotional balance.

New Year, New Smile!
Are you ready to kick off a new year with a dazzling new smile? Have you considered dentures? Dentures are removable replacements for your missing teeth, made to appear and function as well as your natural teeth and surrounding gum tissues. Missing teeth can result in your face taking on a sunken-like appearance. Dentures can effectively reverse that by providing a structure with definition back into your cheeks, making you look younger and livelier. You can enjoy a straighter and more even smile and the procedure will complete the spaces where there were once gaps. This year, give yourself a confident and healthy smile!
