Today is International Self-Care Day, a reminder that even small moments of self-care can lead to big changes in our overall health and happiness. At Lutheran SeniorLife, we believe that caring for others starts with caring for ourselves. Self-care means checking in with your body, your mind, and your spirit. Try these simple practices to reconnect and recharge: • Deep breathing • Gentle stretching • Muscle relaxation • Meditation or visualization • Calming, positive thoughts Take a moment today, and every day, to slow down and give yourself the care you deserve. #InternationalSelfCareDay #LiveFully #CareWithCompassion
July is Disability Pride Month Disability Pride Month is a time to honor the strength, resilience, and contributions of people with disabilities and to recognize that true inclusion starts with how we see, support, and value one another.

The people we serve and work alongside remind us daily that ability comes in many forms, and every perspective enriches our mission. This month, we reaffirm our commitment to accessibility, dignity, and respect, not just in what we say, but in how we care #DisabilityPrideMonth #AccessibleWithCompassion #EveryAbilityMatters
