From Broadway to Lubbock, Midland and Abilene -- more photos of the Extraordinary events featuring Sandra Joseph and Rob Bohmer of Phantom of the Opera fame! Exquisite nights!

Broadway came to the Institute -- in a BIG way this past week! Lubbock, Midland and Abilene hosted "Unmasking What Matters" with Sandra Joseph and Ron Bohmer of Phantom of the Opera fame. Their ultimate message was to be your authentic self and let the 'real' you win. All three events were extraordinary!

It's not an easy story to tell. Alicia Raffkind of Amarillo will take us on her alcohol addiction journey that led to 11 years of sobriety at our upcoming Lunch 'n Learn March 19. Her presentation is based on her book "Pieces to Purpose; Unbreakable Women Who Refused to Give Up." What a life she has led and she's sharing it with us!

What a "Day of the Woman" we had in Amarillo! Nearly 300 guests braved the cold to hear important messages from Dr. Teresa Baker and Dr. Kaytlin Krutsch on "Semaglutides; the Good, the Bad and the Ugly!" Are they right for you? Are they harmful to your baby while pregnant or breast feeding? Now we have a better idea.

“Love is a language spoken by everyone but understood only by the heart.” We hope you hug someone you love, care about or associate with today. Hugs can have health benefits, including reducing fear, stress, and pain. They may also support immune and cardiovascular health. Happy Valentine's Day from the caring Laura Bush Institute team!

Whether it's hot or cold where you are, it's National Hot Chocolate Day. Do you wonder if hot chocolate is healthy? Hot cocoa is rich in flavonoids, which improve blood flow. Improved blood flow reduces the chance of blood clots, lowers blood pressure, improves heart health and helps you think better thanks to better blood flow to the brain. So, there you have it!
