Bittersweet Goodbyes: What My Last Sermon Taught Me About Leadership Yesterday, I delivered my final sermon in a military chapel. Just as I thought I was closing this chapter on a high note, the stakes started rising, and my smooth transition into civilian life suddenly felt uncertain. Yes, I delivered a heartfelt final sermon that resonated deeply with everyone present. But, just when I thought I could ride that emotional wave into retirement bliss, I realized the weight of leaving the military family behind was heavy. No, I wasn't physically knocked out, but emotionally, I felt a blow. And then Chaplain (LTC) Dicks, my replacement, stepped in with a surprise—he presented me with a drawing he did of yours truly. This wasn't just a sketch; it was a reminder of the bonds and connections that make leaving tough. Receiving this highlighted the deep connections I'll leave behind. Now, facing the unknown of civilian life feels like stepping into a boxing ring again. I question whether I can replicate these meaningful connections in civilian life - This is where the real challenge begins. Here's what this experience taught me: - Genuine recognition comes in small gestures. - Leading involves personal connections. - Embrace change with gratitude and excitement. - Cherish uplifting moments to inspire others. As I gear up for the next chapter, I’m carrying these lessons with me, fueled by the amazing chaplains I've had the pleasure of working alongside. But the real question remains—can I replicate the meaningful connections of military life in the civilian world? That’s a story still being written. What challenges have you faced in your own transitions, and how did you overcome them? Let’s share our experiences and support each other on this journey.

THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IS BROKEN AND NOT WORKING FOR AMERICAN TAXPAYERS Veteran Housing Corp would ask every TAXPAYER to demand and get answers from their elected and appointed government officials the below questions as they relate to any affordable, workforce, or supportive housing project in your community! 1. How much local, state, and federal funding, tax credits, or other government benefits or incentives did the project receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project? Is the affordability period permanent and in perpetuity? 3. What guarantees exist have your local, state, and federal government officials obtained in writing that rents will not go up or that tenants will not be displaced or evicted after the "affordability period expires? Every local, state, and federal housing authority and affordable or workforce housing stakeholder should adopt the State of Vermont's "permanent affordability" policy as a model for all future government funded or subsidized housing projects or developments, no exceptions! https://lnkd.in/eFEUC8c8 Additionally, local, state and federal housing agencies should look to the Helsinki, FINLAND MODEL of ending homelessness by providing affordable housing for all 'It’s a miracle': Helsinki's radical solution to homelessness https://lnkd.in/er9HZSQU Even the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development AGREES THAT adopting FINLAND'S MODEL OF ERADICATING HOMELESSNESS may be of great value to resolving the affordable housing and homelessness crises in America https://lnkd.in/gkSZWYRU
