🍁☕🧡 OCTOBER VIBES AT iEMBRACE! 🎃🍂

There’s just something magical about October! 🧡

Crisp morning air, colorful falling leaves, pumpkin spice EVERYTHING, and the return of sweater weather! Better yet, it’s finally time to pull out my FAVORITE cozy hoodie! 🍁

Hot coffee on chilly mornings, hot cocoa with friends, pumpkin patches, Halloween decorations, cozy blankets, good books, and all those little things that make fall so wonderful! ☕📚🎃

And HALLOWEEN!! 👻🧡 The costumes, the pumpkins, the spooky fun, and the beginning of my absolute FAVORITE time of year! Bring on all the holidays, traditions, laughter, and memory-making moments ahead!

At iEmbrace, October is also about opening our hearts, embracing change, choosing kindness, trying new adventures, and celebrating the friendships that make life so special. 🧡

So grab your favorite hoodie, fill up that coffee cup, and soak up every little bit of this beautiful season!

🍂 Happy October from all of us at iEmbrace! 🍂

🎉💙 HAPPY 9 YEARS, JESSICA BENDICKSON! 💙🎉

Jessica was iEmbrace’s very first employee—and boy, are we grateful she took that leap with us! Nine years later, everyone knows they can count on her. Her kindness, friendship, and dedication mean more than words can say. There is no one more dedicated than this woman right here. ❤️

We have been through it ALL getting iEmbrace going. The hard work, long days, growing pains… even COVID couldn’t shut us down! Well, temporarily—but permanently? No chance. 😂

Through every challenge and every celebration, Jessica has been the heart that keeps us beating. She’s helped build something we’re so proud of, and so much of who we are today has her heart in it.

Nine years of adventures, laughs, tears, and memories. Jessica, I love and appreciate you more than you probably know. Thank you for being there, believing in us, and giving so much of yourself to iEmbrace and the people we support.

Love you BIG, Jessica! Here’s to more adventures together! 🥂💙

🍂 A Little November Sneak Peek! 🍂
We normally wait until our full monthly schedule is ready to start sharing November activities, but this one deserves an early shout-out. ❤️

We are incredibly thankful for our C-VAN drivers and the way so many of them truly care about the people they serve. They see our iEmbrace crew out in the community, get to know them, cheer them on, and sometimes even ask how they can be part of the fun themselves.

That means more to us than we can say.
So we are VERY excited to share that Cherish from C-VAN will be hosting a special Fall Wreath Making Workshop for iEmbrace in November! 🍁🌻

Cherish, thank you for wanting to jump in, share your creativity, and spend time with our crew. We appreciate you tremendously and cannot wait for this special workshop!

Our full November activity schedule will be posted October 15th, but we just couldn’t keep this one under wraps until then. 🧡

Thank you, Cherish, and thank you to our amazing C-VAN drivers. We see your kindness, and we are so grateful for you!

🧡 In Loving Memory of Elizabeth 🧡

October will always hold a special place in our hearts because it was Elizabeth’s month—her birthday month and the season of everything Halloween, which she absolutely loved.

All of us at iEmbrace remember Elizabeth's unforgettable sass, her big and loving heart, and the joy she brought wherever she went. We miss her laughter, her friendship, and the special light that was uniquely Elizabeth.

Although Elizabeth is no longer here to celebrate with us, she will always be part of our iEmbrace family. Although, Halloween will never be the same, October - we celebrate for her—with a little extra Halloween magic, a lot of laughter, and hearts full of beautiful memories.

Please enjoy some of our favorite moments with Elizabeth. Oh my heart, we love and miss you big, Elizabeth! Your joy, love, laughter, and friendship will always be with us. 🎃🧡

Our iEmbrace staff did the Mud Girl run today, and it turns out mud is a pretty good way to find out what a team is made of. 😂

They laughed, they cried, they cursed—and through it all, they helped each other. When someone needed a hand, someone was there to give one. Watching them look out for each other was my favorite part. I’m so proud of this crew. ❤️

Nick, Ethan, Asher, and I cheered them on and took lots of pictures—from the clean “before” smiles to the very muddy aftermath. 📸

What do you think… should I use the muddy pictures for their staff name badges? 🤔😂
