Small acts of kindness and connection don’t just warm the heart—they can boost mood, resilience, and even brain health! 💛

Read more and find simple ways to make a big impact in this month's Ask Asbury blog! https://nuvi.me/4nk692

This time of year, the little moments matter more than ever... like a smile from a neighbor, a teammate lending a hand, or someone simply asking how you’re doing.

What many of us don’t realize?
These moments of gratitude and generosity don’t just warm the heart…They change the brain.

In our new December Ask Asbury blog, Dr. Sue Paul, Sr. Director of Well-Being & Brain Health, shares how kindness, connection, and everyday giving can:

🌟 Boost mood and emotional balance
🌟 Strengthen resilience
🌟 Support long-term brain health
🌟 Help us feel more grounded during the holiday rush

She also offers five simple practices you can try today—on your own, with your family, or with your team—to bring more steadiness and meaning into this season. No matter where you are or how you celebrate, we invite you to share a moment of gratitude with someone in your life.

Alphornist, Laura Nelson, presented “Have Alphorn Will Travel” which combines the rich history of the alphorn with mesmerizing live music and stunning visuals. The alphorn is a symbol of unity, freedom and the unparalleled beauty of the Swiss countryside.

As part of Active Aging Week, we want to focus on all areas of wellness that keep residents active, not just physical wellness. Vocational Wellness is a big piece of the puzzle for many residents who still want purpose and have goals to attain in the larger community through their vocation. Ann DiTullio loves her work with EUMA and at ForestView with residents. We asked her to tell us about her work and how it helps her stay active and fulfilled, this is what she had to say:

I help out at ForestView every Friday. I take a book cart around to everyone that would like a book to read. Sometimes even if they don't want a book, but just want to talk, I enjoy those moments of just connecting with them to learn about their stories. We reminisce together. I love being with Forestview residents and staff. The staff works very hard in providing a warm and welcoming environment for everyone. It gives me a sense of wellbeing that I am able to help in some small way to bring a little ray of sunshine into their lives.

My job on the board of the Erie United Methodist Alliance (Euma) is as their development person. I work with the development staff person (Tracy, pictured below) on fundraising activities. The Board's goal is to make homelessness rare in Erie and Crawford Counties. Our missions include the overflow shelter in the winter, a home for homeless families (the only one that keeps mother's and fathers together with their children) called the Refuge and eventually gets them into a home of their own with wrap around services, a home for veterans called Liberty House helps veterans with counseling, job placement and permanent housing and homes for children who have aged out of foster care and have nowhere else to go. I love working with a very dedicated Director, Kurt Krays, and staff who not only want to make homelessness rare in our community, but consider it a calling. The rewards of this job are great when you see a family safe and warm in their new home, veterans who have found a job and are now living on their own and homeless folks who have a warm safe place to stay during our cold winter months. There is still much to do, the challenge is great, but it is more than a volunteer position, it's a labor of love.

Thank you for all you do, Ann! You are an inspiration to many and such a wonderful, caring human being!
