Seeking Validation

We all need some encouragement from time to time. It is good to help re-enforce our positive energy. We like to feel as thou the job that we are doing is great. 

However, it can get to the point where we over reach and depend on these words of encouragement as a crutch. It can easily flow over into a state of being toxic. We can't get to hung up on the validation of others to make us feel worthy. Constant work needs to be done on our self confidence and self belief so that we can function in the work place and also in life. 

Find ways everyday to build the strong self belief in your skills, talents and abilities. Do some self development as well, to help build a strong character, strong personality, and strong self outlook on the outside and inside of yourself. When you do these things, it will never matter what anyone has to say about you, because you already have the only voice that matters inside of your own head to listen to. That voice is saying you are more than enough and there's no need for any outside validation. 





Sincerely,

Self-care.

 Longevity is the name of the game. For us to be in this game for a long time, we need to develop habits that will help us go the distance.  Whether it is meditation, jogging, exercise, eating healthy, or taking time to travel alone and disconnect from the rest of the world. We can also provide self-care by putting some systems in place to take the load off our shoulders. Strategies include making sure there is someone to pick up the kids from school for us, having a chef prepare dinner, hiring a maid to clean once a week, and dropping off the laundry instead of spending hours doing it yourself, to name a few. These are a few things that can help you reclaim your time and save your energy, which you can deploy in other areas of your life in a productive way.  Whatever you choose with that free time and energy is up to you. I suggest using it to reset and recharge. You could get a little work done in between but make it count.  Sincerely, Kurtice Lewis

The dog days.

Have you ever had one of those days where you do not feel like being at work or showing up as your best self? It is not because you don't want to. It is just where your energy level is at that moment. At times, it can be that you have so much to do and don't have the energy to begin. What are some things you do to get out of this funk? Do you take a mental break? Do you take a day off to recharge and re-energize? Are you doing activities to return to a place of upbeat, positive energy? Or, there are things that you avoid. Perhaps there are some activities you have noticed that bring your energy down. If you are having one of those days today, I pray you can pull through the day and do the things that bring your energy levels up. Both physically and spiritually. Sincerely, Kurtice Lewis

Onwards and Upwards: Public Housing's Impact on Lives

Imagine the profound impact when young adults transition from living with their parents. Consider the hope that comes with new beginnings after leaving incarceration. In previous years, the average middle-class person may not have considered public housing an option. However, with the rise of inflation and the ongoing economic crises, think about the relief for those unable to afford skyrocketing rent rates. Public housing is pivotal in filling these crucial gaps, providing stability, empowerment, and a second chance.  Stories abound of individuals who have transformed their lives through public housing, finding a stepping stone to a brighter future from independence to newfound opportunities; public housing proves its importance by paving the way toward success, one life at a time.
