❤️ February is American Heart Month ❤️
Heart health plays a vital role in how we live, and how long we get to spend with the people we love. This month is a great reminder to take small steps that can make a big difference for your heart now and in the years ahead.

Here are some simple ways you can start improving your heart health today:
💚 Move more – Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity each week.
💚 Choose nutritious foods – Fill your plate with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
💚 Manage stress – Take time for rest, hobbies, or breathing exercises.
💚 Know your numbers – Keep track of your blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose levels.
💚 Limit to***co and excess alcohol – Both can strain your heart and overall health.

Even small changes, like taking the stairs, adding one more veggie to your plate, or going for a daily walk, can help strengthen your heart over time.

We understand that everyone expresses condolences differently. If you’re looking for meaningful ways to honor a life or support a grieving friend, we’re here to help guide you with compassion and care.

Today, we honor the legacy of the Four Chaplains, four U.S. Army chaplains who gave their lives in an extraordinary act of courage, unity, and selflessness during World War II. 🕊️🇺🇸

As the troop ship USAT Dorchester sank, these men put others before themselves, offering comfort, prayers, and hope in the face of unimaginable fear. Their actions remain a powerful reminder of faith, sacrifice, and humanity beyond differences.

Remembrance is at the heart of what we do. Today, we pause to reflect on lives given in service to others, and the enduring example they left behind.

Gratitude has a way of bringing comfort, even in moments of reflection. 🌼

As Oscar Wilde so beautifully said, “Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” The love we share, the laughter we remember, and the people who touch our lives leave a lasting imprint on our hearts.

We honor those cherished connections and the memories that continue to bring light long after someone is gone. If you’re remembering someone special today, may gratitude and love surround you.

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we pause to honor the memory of the six million Jewish lives lost, along with the millions of others who suffered and perished during the Holocaust.

This day calls us to remember, to reflect, and to stand against hatred in all its forms. By preserving memory, we honor those who were taken and reaffirm our commitment to dignity, compassion, and humanity for all.

Remembrance is at the heart of what we do. Today, we join the global community in solemn reflection and in ensuring that these lives—and their stories—are never forgotten.

🕯️ We remember.
