Officer Eng came across some innovative young entrepreneurs Sunday evening. We’ve all seen the cool refreshing lemonade stands in the summer, but she couldn’t resist the idea of staying warm at a winter hot chocolate stand! Nice job guys!

Honoring National Healthy Weight Week with Compassion

This week, let’s focus on emphasizing the importance of properly nourishing your body. Health isn’t about the number on a scale — it’s about eating enough and choosing foods that support both physical and mental wellness.

Fuel your body with enough food and a variety of nutrients

Nourish your body with kindness, not rules

Move in ways that bring joy, not guilt

Rest as an act of self-care, not earned sleep

Respect all bodies, including your own
