Did you make anything yummy on this snowy day? We’ve been busy in the kitchen! We made two delicious and nutritious soups 🥣 as well as a yummy, *not* nutritious brookie 🍪🤤 The squash bisque is amazing with croutons and pumpkin seeds on top, and the italian chicken vegetable soup is great with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and some whole grain bread. The brookie of course wants to be served warm with ice cream or whipped cream (or both!). Share what you made to give us all some ideas!

Happy Lunar New Year! 🧧🎊 Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, and 2026 is the year of the Yang Fire Horse! 🔥🐎 Get ready for lots of big, bold energy! I can feel it already as I make plans for myself and our practice. It can be invigorating, but Yang must be balanced with Yin. Make sure to get plenty of rest, extra hydration, restorative movement like stretching, hiking and yoga. Eat dark leafy green vegetables, pears and berries. Do deep breathing exercises. Reduce screen time. Get acupunctue and light massage therapy, reiki or craniosacral therapy. This way we can keep ourselves grounded and centered amidst the sometimes wild energy of the fire horse!

Explore the Year of the Fire Horse 2026 through Chinese astrology and TCM, including its energetic themes, opportunities, and balance practices.

Happy school vacation week! 🥳 Some fun facts: George Washington’s birthday, February 22nd, became a federal holiday in 1879. At first only Washington, D.C. recognized it, but in 1885 it was made into a national holiday recognized by all federal employees. It wasn’t until 1971 that it became observed on the third Monday in February, when Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act to shift several federal holidays to Mondays in order to create three-day weekends (also included in this Act were Memorial Day, Columbus Day, and Veteran’s Day. Veteran’s Day was moved back to its original November 11th date several years later). Because the observed day of George Washington’s Birthday always falls between Washington’s birthday and Abraham Lincoln’s birthday (February 12th), the holiday has become commonly known as President’s Day, though the official name remains Washington’s Birthday to honor the first president. Most schools in New England take a “February vacation” during the third week of February, kicked off with Washington’s Birthday, which began some time before 1916, reportedly to curb the spread of illness during the winter, while some say it was also to lower energy costs.

Thanks to the Spirit of Change for giving cupping some much-deserved attention! 😍 A couple things in the article aren’t exactly spot on. One thing it notes is that “when done properly”, cupping marks should go away within 24 hours. 😒 No. Erroneous. If you have a lot of stagnation, cupping can help move and release it, which can result in fairly dark red/purple marks on the skin. These can take a week or more to fade away “when done properly”.

Learn what cupping therapy is, its ancient history, methods, benefits, healing uses, and important safety considerations.
