It's finally Friday - yep, that's the title of a song, and today, I am so glad it is FINALLY Friday!  And, not just that, but a sunshiney Friday! 

We're busy today interviewing potential residents.  Yep, we have two women's beds open and it's possible, we might be able to sneak in one more man.  So, Debbie, our Case Manager, is busy asking what some might consider 'nosey questions'.

Our job is to help people change their lives, to create new habits, to start over.  And, in order to understand how best to help someone, it's important to understand what got them into their current situation.  So, our interview process takes well over an hour and we ask everything from 'where's your family and why won't they help', to 'tell me about any legal issues you've ever experienced', to discussing addiction issues.  You see, we want to help people make a long-term commitment to life change.  And it all starts with a trusting relationship that can only be experienced through honesty and commitment. 

Enjoy your bright, sunshiney day!
