January Newsletter: New Beginnings & Bright Possibilities

January welcomes us into a fresh year filled with hope, possibility, and new beginnings. Like freshly fallen snow, this season invites us to pause, reflect, and step forward with optimism. In this month’s newsletter, we celebrate the uniqueness of every individual and the shared journey of learning, growth, and connection within our Empowered Services community.
Inside, you’ll find inspiring messages from Founder & CEO John Marvin and COO Sandi Byers, reminding us that progress often comes through small steps, kindness, and showing up for one another. We also honor our community champions, Ashley, our Featured DSP of the Month, and Maddy, our Empowered Star, whose stories reflect confidence, joy, and resilience.
This issue is packed with winter fun and meaningful opportunities, including January events like Fun at the Library, a Sensory-Friendly Movie Night, and an exciting Rock Wall event. You’ll also discover New Year goal ideas, creative winter crafts, a fun snowman pizza recipe, special days to celebrate, and updates on our BYOC Program, empowering families to choose trusted caregivers.
January is a reminder that every new beginning holds promise, and together, we’re building a community where everyone feels valued, supported, and inspired.
