If These Walls Could Talk

A Special Kind of Love … February is known for Valentine’s Day and Heart Health Awareness Month, both evoking images of love and reminding us to show our appreciation to those we hold close.

Publisher's Letter

Did anyone else feel like they were not ready for January to arrive, only for it to disappear in the blink of an eye? I am still a little salty about Thanksgiving being so late—it completely threw off my rhythm for the holiday season. Add in the most underwhelming snow day ever, and it did not feel like the new year had truly begun until we were halfway through the first month.
