Understand & Empower: Monthly Cancer Education
"Intention Over Resolution: Creating Meaningful Change in 2026"
Tuesday, Jan. 20, at 6 p.m. / Auditorium at Manhatan Public Library
As we step into a new year, it’s easy to focus on resolutions that fade by February. This month’s Understand & Empower session invites you to take a different approach—one rooted in purpose and personal growth. Join Melanie Nord, Spiritual Life Leader at Meadowlark, for a thoughtful discussion about setting intentions that align with your core human needs: to feel connected, safe, understood, and supported by structure and routine. Together, we’ll explore how small, consistent decisions can lead to meaningful, lasting change and a more fulfilling year ahead.
