Unexpected twist to daily blessing

Unexpected twist to daily blessing

July 2, 2020

Life is a long journey with many unexpected twists and turns for all of us. Tamika Tabb’s experience is no different, although one of her bumps in the road came a little earlier than she anticipated. This bold, friendly, and bright young woman grew up in a tightly-knit and religious family in Williamsburg, Virginia. She lived with her grandmother, her mother, and her brother Mike.

I need to do better. I'm starting with knowledge.

I need to do better. I'm starting with knowledge.

June 25, 2020

Over the last two weeks, I have watched and read and listened to many black voices answering the question of what white people can do and how we can help. I want to do better, and I’m starting with expanding my knowledge and perspective. Here’s a list of recommended books (from others, not from me) that are relevant to what is happening now and has been happening for hundreds and hundreds (and hundreds) of years.

If you’re not listening to podcasts, it might not be a bad idea to sit down and take a listen. Last summer, we put together a list of six podcasts that might strike your fancy. This year, we asked our Instagram followers to share the podcasts they can’t stop hitting play on, and we picked our favorite six to share with you! The full list of recommendations is at the bottom of this post.

The class of 2020 is stopping to smell the roses

The class of 2020 is stopping to smell the roses

June 11, 2020

2020 was set to be a defining year for many of my closest friends and for many college and high school seniors. The moment we’d been waiting, practicing, learning, growing, saving, and worrying for had finally come. We were poised to don our caps and gowns and take the symbolic step out of our academic cocoon and into the warm and bright future of tomorrow.

Ask yourself this: “If I had more courage, what would I stop doing right now? What would I start doing?” Courage is one of the cornerstone habits of great leaders.

Your health is your greatest retirement asset, so invest now!

Your health is your greatest retirement asset, so invest now!

May 21, 2020

Think of it this way: We know that someone who begins saving at age 20 will have more money in retirement than someone who begins saving the same amount at age 30. So, it makes sense that someone who began prioritizing their health at age 20 will be healthier later in life than someone who began at age 30.

Locked and loaded: joy triggers

Locked and loaded: joy triggers

May 18, 2020

So, what makes you happy? What are the simple, perhaps irrational, things that bring you joy? I found out the other day that these things are called “joy triggers.” And I loved that.

Writing a gratitude letter may seem like an overblown thank you note, but that’s simply not true. Imagine how you would feel if you received an honest, truthful letter that thanked you for how you impacted someone’s life?

It’s so easy for us to get sucked into a barrage of negative thoughts. One small, intrusive thought leads to another and another. Daily affirmations can change your mindset and help you create the future you want!

Rebuilding after the 2008

Rebuilding after the 2008 "Great Recession"

April 23, 2020

For Cassandra Essick, Employee Engagement Associate at Siegfried, the chaotic events of the past few weeks have reminded her of her struggle through 2008 and her journey back to enjoyable normalcy. The similarities between these two seismic events are striking, but Cassandra promises it will get better: “Even though it’s bad right now, and it might get worse before it gets better, my experiences in 2008 and others’ experiences throughout history show it will get better.”
