Six month into 2024 ... it's not too late to achieve your goals!

How on Earth is it already July 2024?! I usually view this time as the heart of summer, fully invested in summer travels and adventures. But this year, I seem to be more focused on the six month mark of the year. I'm sure it is because we are just now over the six month landmark since our apartment building fire. That brought up quite a lot of emotions as we pushed for our neighbors to receive an extension on their temporary housing (and we won that fight!). It makes me feel like WHERE has the time gone as it feels like it happened yesterday. Yet, it also goes to show how quickly time does fly and why it is so important to focus on the NOW.

They say it can take anywhere between 18 days and 8 months to build a habit. With six months left of the year, that means it is not too late to build the habits you want to help you achieve your goals. May this be our community push to focus on the present and go one step at a time to build good habits that set us up for the type of success we want.

And it's not too late to register to vote!

This month, 20% of our proceeds will be contributed to Coalition for the Homeless.


The Coalition for the Homeless is the nation’s oldest advocacy and direct service organization helping homeless individuals and families. They  believe that affordable housing, sufficient food and the chance to work for a living wage are fundamental rights in a civilized society. Since their inception in 1981, the Coalition has worked through litigation, public education and direct services to ensure that these goals are realized.

The Coalition’s effectiveness derives from their unique role as both an advocacy and direct service organization.  Their programs, shelter monitoring and grassroots organizing enable them to meet homeless people where they are – giving voice and hope to the most marginalized among us. Their advocacy is informed by the very real daily struggles of our homeless neighbors, and seeks practical, humane and cost-effective long-term solutions proven to work. Because every New Yorker deserves a home.


For more than 40 years, the Coalition for the Homeless has developed and implemented humane, cost-effective strategies to end mass homelessness in New York City. Their model programs represent solutions that can dramatically reduce the homeless population and prevent homelessness among those most at risk.
​
Every day, their 11 frontline programs help more than 3,500 men, women and children survive immediate crises and put them on the path to long-term stability. They witness firsthand the challenges they face and shape their services to best meet their needs, providing emergency food and clothing, eviction prevention, crisis services, permanent housing, job training and special programs for homeless youth.

Their renowned advocacy tirelessly fights for investments in proven, cost-effective housing-based solutions to mass homelessness. Their first legal victory, Callahan v. Carey, established the right to shelter for homeless adult men — a crucial first step in our subsequent victories on behalf of homeless women and children. Since then, the Coalition has won a string of legal actions including securing medically appropriate housing for people living with HIV/AIDS and ensuring the right to vote for Americans without homes.

The Coalition is a vocal and invaluable city and statewide resource for homeless people, at-risk populations, other advocates and service providers, policymakers and the public at large. They have earned the reputation as the most credible source of information on homelessness, its causes, and solutions.
