We’re excited to introduce our new Good Deeds Program, thanks to the generous support of Buffalo Wild Wings.

Each month, the top five clients from Day Hab and Meadowbrook who demonstrate exceptional kindness get to  enjoy a complimentary lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings.

Let’s All Take Time to Stop and Smell the Bluebonnets…

Lately, my days have been more rushed than ever.  It seems my “To Do List” is growing exponentially with others demanding more and more of my time.  In times like these, we all sacrifice family time, our health and fitness and sleep to meets the demands of the day. 

I have recently had to consciously remind myself to slow down, prioritize and focus on things more significant than others.  As I was giving a tour at the ranch and pointing out the blooming roses, a person on the tour asked, “Can we stop to smell the roses?” 

“Absolutely,” I responded, “Let’s stop and smell the roses.”

The Wrangler Gazette – December 2023 

At New Danville, I’m reminded daily of the ease of kindness by our Wranglers.  I see our Wranglers openly share kindness with friends and strangers.  Sometimes, it’s just a smile, the opening of a door, love for one our animals or a “Have a great day” to someone struggling.  Kindness can be that simple, or even more overt.  Taking a moment out a busy day to mentor or help is kindness.  Offering to help carry a heavy load, a supportive text, taking time to listen to someone in need are all easy ways to spread kindness.  Let’s all do our part to make kindness go viral in 2024!

“True ornament is not a matter of prettifying externals. It is organic with the structure it adorns.” --Frank Lloyd Wright

There are many myths and legends related to the use and decoration of Christmas trees.  Ornaments have been used in remembrance of Jesus and His birth.  Ornaments have been used by others to honor loved ones recently passed, while others used ornaments as a reminder of Spring during harsh winters.
