: Today Wednesday, September 30, 2026, marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. The day honours the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, their families and communities.

🔸 The statutory holiday was created in 2021 in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s call to action number 80. It seeks to honour First Nations, Inuit and Métis Survivors and their families and communities.

🔸 The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation coincides with Orange Shirt Day.


🔸 Founded in 2013 by Phyllis Webstad, an Indigenous residential school survivor whose new orange shirt was taken from her on her first day at school. The color orange symbolizes the stripping away of culture, freedom, and self-esteem.

🧡 The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a solemn time to reflect on a dark chapter in history and to actively commit to the ongoing journey of reconciliation.

🧡 We observe this day to recognize the systemic trauma inflicted by Canada's residential school system, which operated from the 1830s until the final school closed in 1997.

🧡Over 150,000 Indigenous children (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis) were forcibly removed from their families and communities to strip them of their culture, languages, and traditions.

▪ 𝑻𝒐 𝑹𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒏: Thousands of children died while attending these schools due to disease, neglect, and abuse, with many buried in unmarked graves.

▪ 𝑻𝒐 𝑺𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕 𝑺𝒖𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒔: Thousands of survivors still carry the deep psychological and physical scars of their experiences.

▪ 𝑻𝒐 𝑨𝒄𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒍𝒆𝒅𝒈𝒆 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒖𝒎𝒂: The harm done did not end when the schools closed; it fractured families and passed trauma down through generations.

▪ 𝑻𝒐 𝑩𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒂 𝑩𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑭𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆: True reconciliation is impossible without first recognizing and accepting the hard truths of the past.

: It's a new week! Do you have something to look forward to today, this week or this month?

🔸Sometimes life starts to feel like a loop.

🔸Work. Responsibilities. Chores. Sleep. Repeat.

🔸And even when nothing is necessarily wrong, you can still feel like you’re moving from one day to the next without anything exciting waiting for you.

🛑If that sounds familiar, maybe you don’t need to change your whole life.

: To continue with our keeping it COZY vibes, we want to share this comforting "DIRTY CABBAGE RECIPE" from Andy’s East Coast Kitchen!

➡️ 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗣𝗘: https://theeastcoastkitchen.com/dirty-cabbage-recipe-easy-one-pot-dinner/

😋 You can make this healthy, viral one-pot dirty cabbage loaded with protein and low in carbs in just 20 minutes!

😋 "If you’ve never heard of dirty cabbage before, this version is essentially a hearty combination of cabbage and sausage, ground beef, peppers, onion, garlic, tomatoes, Cajun seasoning, and beef broth."

😋 "Everything cooks together until the cabbage becomes tender and the broth reduces into a rich, tomatoey sauce that coats the meat and vegetables."

😋 "Could you make this dirty cabbage recipe with just ground beef? Sure.
But the combination is what makes this recipe interesting. Lean ground beef gives the dish substance without making it overly greasy, while Italian sausage brings seasoning, richness, and a completely different layer of flavor."

▪ It is a specialized type of massage therapy where a RMT places smooth, heated stones on specific parts of your body and uses them as an extension of their hands to massage the muscles.

▪ Smooth, flat basalt stones are heated in water to a safe, controlled temperature

▪ The warm stones are placed along key points of the spine, stomach, chest, face, palms, or feet to warm up tight muscles.

▪ The deep warmth expands blood vessels and boosts circulation, making the muscle tissues pliable so the therapist can release tight knots and tension with less manual discomfort.

: Instead of being sad that the last few hours of summer are upon us as we switch over to FALL at 8:04pm tonight!

🔷 The sun crosses directly over the Earth's celestial equator.
🔷 Day and night achieve nearly equal lengths across the globe.
🔷 Nights begin to grow longer than the days in the Northern Hemisphere until the winter solstice in December.

🍂 While it is always bittersweet to watch the sun set on warmer days, there is so much magic waiting for us in this new season.

🍂Fall is not about losing the summer sun; it is about gaining crisp morning air, vibrant colors, and a perfect excuse to slow down and get cozy.

▪ Walking through paths of crunchy, golden leaves.
▪ Swapping iced drinks for warm, comforting seasonal flavors.
▪ Reclaiming sweater weather and wrapping up in cozy blankets.
▪ Enjoying peaceful, crisp evenings that hit the reset button.

🍂Every season has its own beauty, and this one is just getting started. Let us embrace the shift.

: Some of us are really good at giving.

▪ We show up.
▪ We encourage.
▪ We listen.
▪ We care.
▪ We make sure everyone else is okay.

➡️But when someone wants to pour that same love, kindness or support back into us…

➡️We sometimes say:

🔺“I'm fine.”
🔺“It's okay, I don't need anything.”
🔺“Don't worry about me.”

➡️Why?

➡️𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞?

💚Receiving doesn't make you needy.
💚It doesn't make you weak.
💚And you don't have to be completely exhausted before you're allowed to accept care.

✅So this week, when someone offers you a compliment — 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙩.

✅When someone offers to help — 𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢.

✅When someone shows you love — 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙞𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙞𝙩.

✅When someone reminds you that you're important — 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢.

➡️You don't have to constantly be the source of the light.

➡️Sometimes, your wellness begins when you finally allow someone else to shine a little of theirs on you. ✨
