Join Us

On behalf of our Board of Directors and Advocacy and Public Policy Committee, we invite you to join us at the Louisiana Capitol Rotunda tomorrow, Wednesday, May 29, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for Northshore Focus 2024. Together with the Tangipahoa Chamber, the Livingston Chamber and the Franklinton Chamber, we will show our collective support to our Northshore legislators and remind them how their decisions affect the local business community along the I-12 corridor. We will be recognized as a group in both the Senate and House Chambers, at some point after 1 p.m. (pending session schedules).

Tickets are now available for our Southern Nights Soiree, a fun celebration with friends and community leaders from throughout St. Tammany. Our annual fundraising event takes place on Friday, July 12, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at The Greystone and features casino games, an open bar, samples from area fine-dining restaurants, and both a live and silent auction.

Have you ever met a person who claims to have a black cloud following her around? While everyone passes through stormy periods in life, some people seem to focus only on the rain and turbulence they perceive around them, never enjoying a sunny day, or noticing a rainbow in the sky. To change your personal outlook, and make life easier to weather, focus on how you talk to yourself.

 

If your self-talk is generally negative, you may be creating unnecessary worry, anxiety, and stress. Patterns of negative self-talk often start in childhood, but it’s never too late to flip the script and become more positive.

 

You can get a better idea of what we mean by positive self-talk by contrasting it with negative self-talk. Positive self-talk is kind, encouraging and supportive; imagine how you would talk to a dear friend or loved one. Negative self-talk can be unhelpful, demeaning, and even cruel.
