Mind, Body, Spirit - Take Care of all Three
Jon Gordon wrote “We are not positive because life is easy. We are positive because life is hard. Positivity is what we use to overcome challenges and negativity. Being positive requires hardworking. Being positive is a choice.”
It may simple for someone to tell us at a time like this that positivity is key to overcome the challenges we are all currently facing, the #NewNormal of Self-Isolation, working from home, Social-Distancing, home-schooling and keeping children of all ages entertained. The thoughts for some people are too over-whelming - fear of the unknown and fear of this immense change that none of us have ever experienced. Yet, where there is a negative, there is a positive. We have to take this time will is not a “forever” existence to reassess the way we live, the way we work and the way we are. There has been so much negativity reported by the national press, but of interest are the positives.
Coronavirus Day 13 - Listen to Your Body, Listen to Public Health England
I love to write. Usually I write letters to family & friends or articles for the GLM Blog and newsletters, and over the last 18 months, I have also had to write assignments for the GDL course I have been studying.
I have always loved words, much much more than I love numbers and i have been lucky enough to have been exposed to 3 languages for as long as I can remember, so my mind is ALWAYS full of words in either French, Italian or English.But this Blog is not about words, it is about emotions, mainly the fear I have felt over the last 2 2 weeks.
Government support available for Landlords & Tenants reflecting Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak
Measures to protect renters affected by coronavirus (COVID-19). Published 26 March 2020 From: Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local
The government has brought forward a package of measures to protect renters affected by coronavirus (COVID-19). With these in force, no renter in either social or private accommodation will be forced out of their home.
To ensure all renters are clear on the full package of support that is currently available to them, we are bringing this together into one place. From yesterday (26 March 2020) landlords will have to give all renters 3 months’ notice if they intend to seek possession (i.e. serve notice that they want to end the tenancy) – this means the landlord can’t apply to start the court process until after this period.
A MESSAGE WITH A DIFFERENCE FROM THE MANAGING AGENT TO ALL LESSEES AND TENANTS
Dear Leaseholder,
I am writing to you all I’m afraid, about the main topic of the news!
However, I thought instead of a dry protocol letter I would like to share my thoughts with you all. I have found myself in reflective mood as this situation unfolds and apart from those of you that know me well, or have been to our office, you probably will not know of my interest in second world war aircraft and flying. I say that as I have collected for many years now prints of aircraft both signed and unsigned and they cover the office walls, (understandably, I am not allowed them at home apart from in my office there!). Indeed, over Alison’s desk is a signed print of two Lancasters from 617 ‘Dambusters’ squadron over the Mohne dam, appropriate as her Father himself flew in Lancasters as a Flight Engineer. This interest as a young man opened a lot of opportunities for me and I have been privileged to meet and have been friends with pilots and aircrew who actually flew in the second world war and have heard them tell their stories first hand, the good and the bad.
