A MONTHLY NEWSLETTER
Shannon’s Snippet November is a time for raking leaves (sometimes shoveling snow) and for planning delectable dishes and comfort food for our families. It is also a time of thanksgiving. In the spirit of Thanksgiving we are highlighting our core value of GRATITUDE this month.
agent who really made your life easier and compliment the chef at Thanksgiving.
Expressing gratitude releases dopamine, and serotonin, in our brains, makes us happier (not to mention those to whom we express our gratitude) and, ultimately, allows us to be more productive and successful. It also makes for better relationships and more enjoyable lives.
Shannon R. Harner
What we do matters every day and expressing our gratitude is a great way to make a positive impact. Go forth and be thankful.

BIRTHDAYS & CELEBRATIONS GRI CONGRATULATIONS
We here at HomeServices create an attitude of gratitude by noticing, articulating and celebrating the contributions of our teammates and our co-workers by being compassionate and humble and striving not to take things for granted. Our collective strength is fostering a work environment filled with gratitude, always finding the silver lining and counting our blessings. Every single one of us can be fulfilled by the work that we choose to do, as well as to wake up inspired to go to work each day. It really is up to us, individually, to determine what we do with those 24 hours that we get each day. We can waste them or we can choose to consistently fill them with good. Gratitude helps us shape our lives and positively impact the lives of
those around us. Believe that your choices make a difference-they do! You may never know how much good a simple smile can do! Ask yourself daily-what is the impact I want to have today? The more intentional we are about the impact we want to create, the easier it is to have that impact. Did you leave a dent in the planet today? When we express gratitude from our hearts, truly giving of ourselves, we leave a lasting impression on others. So, make YOUR “dent in the planet” today, and tomorrow and the day after by expressing gratitude to those around you.
One consistent reminder for me, personally, to practice gratitude is the gratitude jar in my office. My goal every day is to write down something that I am grateful for. It gives me a totally different outlook on the beginning

of my day. I empty my gratitude jar each New Year’s Eve Day and reflect on all that I have been grateful for in the past year. My personal goal next year is to fill it

Community Spotlight South of Downtown Community Development Organization
South of Downtown Community Development Organization enriches quality of life for residents of Near South and
Everett neighborhoods through collaboration, economic opportunities, and community development. The South of Downtown neighborhood is a prime example of statistics overpowering the true beauty and resiliency of a community. Approximately 43% of the area’s residents are below the poverty line, while cultural and linguistic barriers burden the task of building community, entering the workforce, and connecting with local resources.

to support this great cause. Quotable… In the words of Alan Barnett, “‘Beautify’ [implies] more than... physical attractiveness [but]... It meant [the art was created] to raise the awareness in local people of their “soul,” “creativity, and power.”
Community Murals: The Peoples Art, 1984, p. 50
SDCDO has created a community art space called the “The Art Hub.” This space aims to connect neighborhood residents, artists, and students with a support system, resources and purpose. They will host workshops, classes, art shows, art sales, talks, public art and advocacy programs. Additionally, participants will have access to computers, studio space, cameras and other art materials. With their goal to enrich the quality of life for their neighborhood, the Art Hub is an innovative concept to connect the people and beautify the South of Downtown community.
In a community where citizens are often told they do not have enough social capital to matter, art can stand in the gap and give us all the ability to see a more beautiful world, and a more dignified self. - Shawn Ryba Executive Director - SDCDO
