Properties with Purpose

Second month into the new year, so much is happening in the world and it's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of global events but amidst all the chaos, it's crucial to remember that what truly matters most in life are the meaningful relationships we build, the love we share, and the positive impact we have on those around us, with that being said, February happens to be one of my favourite months, also known as the
Love Month.
Celebrating Valentine's Day and healthy relationships. I get asked a lot of the time what are the signs of a healthy relationship in both personal and professional contexts, the core principles of a healthy relationship remain consistent, the core principles do not change.
Highlighting Healthy Relationships
Healthy relationships are built on several key elements that highlight emotional and social well-being. Here are some of the most important characteristics:
Respect and Equality
Relationships should be based on mutual respect and equality, not power or control. Both partners should feel valued and supported.
Open Communication
Partners should be able to express their feelings and opinions freely, without fear of judgment or retribution. Communication should be honest and open, even during disagreements.
Trust & Boundaries
Trust is essential, allowing partners to be vulnerable with each other and respect each other's boundaries and privacy.
Independence
Maintaining individuality and independence within the relationship is important. Partners should encourage each other to pursue personal interests and friendships.
Kindness & Empathy
Showing kindness and empathy towards each other creates a safe and supportive environment. Partners should be willing to listen actively and apologise when needed.
Conflict Resolution
Conflict is a natural part of any relationship, but how couples handle disagreements can make or break their bond. Conflicts should be resolved respectfully and fairly, with both partners working together to find mutually satisfying solutions. Avoid going to bed on bad terms, even if you are not ready to settle your differences. Agree to disagree until you are both ready to work through the matter without getting emotional.
Consent and Safety
Physical and emotional safety are paramount. Consent should always be given freely and respected.
Governors Black History Month Reception

We are delighted to be invited to attend our third year of the Lieutenant Governon 'Black History Month reception' with Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones. Celebrating the profound contributions of African American heroes, both past and present. This event was a wonderful opportunity to connect with movers and shakers in the community through their work, innovation, and advocacy. We had a great time and look forward to attending future events where we can continue to collaborate and work together as a community.

A slight increase in homelessness from previous years
Rise in first-time homelessness due to economic pressures and housing costs
Urban areas like Atlanta facing more severe issues, with over 3,200 homeless individuals in the city alone.
What can I do to help?
Volunteer
Donate
Provide professional skills
Support affordable housing initiatives
Small acts of kindness, such as buying a stranger's coffee or offering a helping hand, can also make a big difference. By spreading kindness and raising awareness about important issues, we can create a more compassionate environment and make a positive impact where we live. Let's make this month of love a time to remember by enriching the lives of those around us.
"No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted."
