I am so glad you are back. I have missed you and sent private positivity to you through the universe!

Aw- I used to love Red Green!

Sending you virtual strength and encouragement to fight the good fight. I can’t tell you what it meant to me to find you on here… a fellow HUD person… speaking their mind fearlessly. Thank you!

HUD Field Rep here. Love your take on all things HUD and housing. Sometimes it seems we in the Field are a million miles away from HQ playing a game of telephone- and that was in the good ‘ol days 😬. We are hanging on to each other and any communication we can get.

The best people I know still come to work everyday to serve the communities we know depend on us. We support our fellow Huddies. We bring treats, snacks and coffee. We lift each other up with jokes and laughter. We continue to make suggestions for how to improve our operations and our outcomes.

One of my favorites since I was a little girl in the seventies! Rediscovering so many really really good songs and artists that spoke to the people through their music.

Or albums💕💕

Fascism knocks quietly at our door.
It is time to wake the sleeping giant,
To protect freedoms yet fulfilled.
Those of us who hold the line,
Will serve you all as we stand.
We represent no magic wand,
We scream into the void.
Who among us will answer the call?

All of us.

Hey- I am a HUD contact and I am still serving the public with smiley faces emojis. THAT is public service. To the very end. I’m not smiling on the inside- but my grantees don’t need to know that.
