Giving With Intention 

As you wrap up your holiday shopping this season, remember that the most meaningful gifts aren’t about the price tag—they’re about the intention. By giving with wellness in mind, you’re encouraging balance, self-care, and resilience for the year ahead. As Patrick Jensen, MD, Psychiatrist at Covenant Health, reminds us: “These are gifts that renew the self so that you can continue to give care to the ones you love.” May your gifts bring warmth, health, and happiness that lasts well beyond the holidays.
