“Beside them, the birds of the heavens dwell; they sing among the branches.” (Psalm 104:12)

These mornings brought rare Florida frost, wrapping our community in quiet beauty. The mist hovered over the pool, the grass shimmered along the Green Mile, and as the sun rose, egrets, herons, and anhingas patiently waited to warm their wings, while birdsong filled the air.

Starting the day surrounded by nature lifts the spirit, encourages reflection, and reminds us how peaceful, active, and purposeful living can be.

📸 Special thanks to our amazing Reverend Jean for these beautiful photos!

We loved hosting a truly special intergenerational luncheon and meet-and-greet with students from Flagler College! 💙

As part of their sophomore seminar on differing perspectives, the students toured our community with some of our neighbors, then had lunch and a meaningful conversation. Stories were shared, viewpoints expanded, and plenty of laughs were had along the way.

The students described the visit as eye-opening, gaining a new appreciation for how older adults can truly live well and thrive. A wonderful reminder that connection across generations enriches everyone. 🌟

We spent a deeply meaningful day at the National Cemetery in downtown St. Augustine, guided by Dr. Amy Giroux from the University of Central Florida.

As we learned about the cemetery’s history—from the Second Seminole War to the Civil War and Native American graves—we were reminded how powerful it is to keep history alive.

Honoring the past together gives our days purpose and connection. 📚✨

We are so proud of what we can accomplish together!

Our neighbors came together to organize, contribute, and assemble toiletry baskets for every room at the newly opened Home Again St. Johns providing stability and dignity for individuals and families in need.

We're still smiling over a spectacular New Year's night of dining, dancing, and celebration!

From a fabulous seated dinner featuring delicious options like carved beef tenderloin and decadent lobster ravioli, to incredible music from Billy Buchanan and his All Soul R***e, keeping the dance floor packed all night long.

A glorious dessert bar tempted everyone with treats like flourless chocolate torte, alongside passed hors d’oeuvres, while our Photo Booth captured so many joyful moments. The night wrapped up with a champagne toast and even a festive ball drop to cheers all around.

What a wonderful way to celebrate together—full hearts, full dance floor, and memories we’ll cherish! 🥂🎉

The holidays can be beautiful—and sometimes tender.

During our Longest Night Service, we came together for gentle carols, scripture, prayer, and soul-soothing music that reminded us we are never alone. Chaplain Jean and her sister Karin led the singing with several lovely duets.

Surrounded by caring neighbors and heartfelt fellowship, we found comfort, connection, and peace. 💙✨
