It's not you, it's me.

What do you do when you have outgrown your situation? It is a sad moment when we no longer see eye to eye with that friend we thought would be our "BFF" until we are old grey and helping each other with our Jelo snacks. A truly devasting situation indeed. 

It is sadly the same for our jobs and careers. We go to work daily, loving our jobs, coworkers, the cooler talk, the corporate outings, etc. Then, what seems like out of the blue, we come to work one day and realize the energy is starting to shift. We slowly begin not to like the things we used to enjoy anymore. In most cases, it is usually an indicator that we are outgrowing the environment or the people around us. It may be time for a career change or a workplace change. In friendships, our friends may be going through a life change at the same time as us, and we may not be on the same page as before. Coworkers move on to other jobs, new employees enter your workplace, and their energy throws off the office's vibe. Things were different from how they were before. 

So, when you are no longer seeing eye to eye with your current situation at work, then it may be time for a change. The change of energy also can be for a season. However, if that season is ongoing and you do not see any improvements, it is time to move on. 


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.
