Christmas Cookie Swap at Haven 🎄🍪

One of our favorite traditions of the year.

Alumni come back home to Haven, and our current residents spend the day in the kitchen with Chef Colleen, baking cookies from scratch, learning, laughing, and working side by side.

By the end of the day, the tables are full, the kitchen smells like Christmas.

At the end of the day, we do a cookie swap, and we vote on the best! Friendly competition (mostly 😂)

Everyone leaves with boxes of cookies and full hearts, a beautiful mix of past and present, recovery and tradition, service and joy.

This is what community looks like.

(We can’t share photos of the women for privacy… but the cookies didn’t mind being photographed 😉)

Recovery starts long before the coffee, it starts with surrender. With choosing God’s voice over the old noise.

Because left to our own thinking, most of us end up back in fear, shame, or self-reliance. But when we let God in first, the whole day shifts.

This is what we practice at Haven: humility, willingness, and the quiet courage to start our day with God instead of ourselves.

Art helps. Music helps. Animals help. People help.
When we stay grounded in the good, hope finds its way in.
It always does.

Art helps. Music helps. Animals help. People help.

When we stay grounded in the good, hope finds its way in.

It always does.

“All I really need to know, I learned in kindergarten.”

The fundamentals:

• Tell the truth.
• Take responsibility.
• Clean up your mess.
• Be kind.
• Respect others’ space.
• Ask for help when you need it.
• Do the right thing even when no one is watching.

Recovery asks us to return to these simple, foundational principles , because they are the building blocks of healthy adulthood.

At Haven at Blue Creek, we see every day that when women begin practicing these basic truths with consistency and integrity, healing becomes possible.

Lives begin to stabilize.
Families begin to rebuild.
And women rediscover who they were always meant to be.

Identity is shaped by what we believe about ourselves, not by what others project onto us.

In recovery, in relationships, in parenting, in leadership… clarity about who we are protects us from being pulled into roles, expectations, or labels that don’t match our truth.

At Haven, we teach women (and remind ourselves) to pause, reflect, and choose who we are becoming, rather than letting the world decide for us.

We’ll miss our Fall Fundraiser this year, but our mission continues.

Haven has grown more than ever, with 9 treatment beds filled and 12 sober living units now open. With that growth came a huge increase in daily responsibilities, expanding our counseling and support staff, providing transportation, furnishing new housing, and keeping up with rising costs.

Because of that workload, we simply didn’t have the capacity to plan our annual event this year.

Still, so many of you have reached out to give anyway, and we’re deeply grateful.

At Haven, we see this truth every day.

Real healing begins when we allow ourselves to feel, to move from analyzing our pain to living through it with honesty, faith, and love.

In that space, grace does its quiet work.

And one day, what once felt unbearable becomes the beginning of strength.

You can hear the rain and see the steam from the tea.

It’s calm and quiet in the office, one of those small moments that makes us grateful for where we are and what we’re building.

I hope others find moments like this too, a little peace that shows up in the middle of a busy day.



"Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you. All things are passing; God never changes." — St. Teresa of Ávila

A new day, new beginnings, and the same quiet grace.

Some mornings, they come together like a small community, calm, steady, and side by side.

A gentle reminder that healing often happens in stillness and in good company.

Happy Sunday from Haven
