Please reschedule or opt for telehealth if you have been sick or been around someone else who has been sick. Thanks for keeping our office a safe space for everyone involved!

Doctors’ visits for flu-like symptoms — fevers, sore throat, extreme fatigue and body aches — have hit the highest level in nearly 30 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and are likely to continue to rise in the coming weeks.

At least 5,000 people have died this season, including nine children.

For the week ending Dec. 27, the CDC reported that nearly 1 in 10 outpatient visits nationwide — 8.2% — were for flu-like illnesses. That’s the highest logged since the CDC started tracking such visits in 1997.

Only Montana, South Dakota, Vermont and West Virginia are experiencing low to moderate flu spread. Data for Nevada was “insufficient,” the agency said.

January is Stalking Prevention Awareness Month 💜

Stalking affects millions and is often committed by someone the victim knows. It frequently co-occurs with domestic violence, leaving survivors feeling isolated and afraid.

At SAFE Inc., we believe survivors, we support them, and we remind them they are never alone.

Are you actually keeping your own boundaries?

Because if it's not 100% of the time, it's not a boundary. It's a suggestion.

That 10%—the times you do nothing when you said you'd do something else—teaches the real rule: Push hard enough, and I'll reconsider.

Boundaries aren’t about controlling what the other person does. They’re about doing what you say you’ll do.

Because people don't learn from what you say. They learn from what you do.

Christmas Eve looks quiet from the outside. Lights on, windows glowing, smiles practiced. But this image tells a truer story. Inside those houses are people grieving children, partners, parents, siblings. People surviving first holidays without someone. People crying in bathrooms, setting empty places anyway, choosing softness just to make it through the night.

And here’s the part we forget. Empathy is not just kind, it is healing. Research shows that being seen and understood can lower stress hormones, calm the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and even support immune health. Offering compassion does the same for the person giving it. A gentle moment can physically ease a heavy body. Feeling less alone can help the mind rest.

So tonight, let cheer be optional. Go slower. Speak softer. Offer patience where you can, including to yourself. We never know what someone is carrying, and most of the time, we are carrying more than we let on. If all you do tonight is breathe, rest, and get through, that is enough. ❤️

I know many of you are struggling. You’re not alone. I see you.

Same woman.
Different chapter.

God is not limited by the labels people place on you in your lowest season. He sees beyond what you did to who you’re becoming.

Rahab’s faith didn’t erase her past—it redeemed it. And if God can place her story in the lineage of Jesus, then your mistakes, delays, and detours are not disqualifications.

You are not stuck in your worst moment.
You are one act of faith away from a rewritten story.

—Ruth.

Taking new clients in January! And by new, I mean limited spots since most people know, I like to keep my business small. I value quality over quantity. I also will soon begin to take Medicare and am excited to take more of the older population too!

Self-blame is a common challenge after domestic or sexual violence, but a supportive response from friends and family can make all the difference.
