“I have a dream.”

Today, The HeartWay honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his enduring call to lead with compassion, courage, and integrity. May we each continue his work by choosing awareness, responsibility, and heart-centered action in our daily lives.

As we start a new month, we wanted to share this little weekend funny with you ✨

A snowman child asks his snowman dad, “What happens when we die?”

Dad responds, “We go to Heaven.”

The sun comes out, and both become puddles.

Later, they float up and become clouds.

Dad looks at his child and says, “Sort of.” ☁️❄️

Life has its own gentle ways of coming full circle 💛

01/08/2026

We're a week into the New Year, and these are the intentions we're continuing to carry at The HeartWay✨

Continuing to lead with compassion
Continuing to move with care not to rush
Continuing to listen deeply to ourselves and our community
Continuing to change what no longer serves the heart
And continuing to visit moments of stillness joy and connection 🤍

Not new resolutions just a renewed commitment to The HeartWay

Feel free to share your resolutions in the comments we would love to hear 🤍
