 In our first post of this year, we talked about ways to take control of your life, one of which was taking control of your health.
Today we’re going to share a few ideas on ways to manage stress. According to The American Institute of Stress, over 100,000 people die each year due to stress related illnesses and injuries. Why are we so stressed? We’re so busy chasing things…career, new house, new car, new…bigger and better… half the time, many don’t even realize they are stressed until they’ve ended up in the doctor’s office or hospital with health problems related to their lifestyle. Add to this a global pandemic, two hurricanes and an ice storm and our friends and neighbors here in SW Louisiana are finding themselves with all sorts of stress-related symptoms. Headaches, stomach issues, insomnia, and depression are almost always connected to external circumstances. Here’s the rub: Stress is a mindset. Think this isn’t true? Just check out these stress busters and you’ll see what I mean….  Image by Plume Ploume from Pixabay We’ve made it through January and February is nearly
half over, but did you know in old Roman times, when the calendar only had 10 months, February was actually the end of the year and March the beginning? It is still unclear when that changed to twelve months with January and February beginning the calendar year, but I thought it was an interesting fact to share. Which leads up to the actual topic of this post…. Changes Curtis Insurance is making in 2021. Although we will continue to service our existing clients, Curtis Insurance will no longer sell Home or Flood insurance policies. There are many reasons for this decision, the main one being changes to our staff, two of which are in the early stages of retirement and we wish them the BEST in their endeavors. With this in mind, we no longer offer Permit or Notary Bonds either. However, we’d be honored to be your #1 choice for Auto, Recreational Vehicle and Renters Insurance and are continuing to focus on meeting the needs of our community by offering Medicare and Life Insurance through our sister company, Curtis & Associates. If we may be of service to you in any, or all of these areas, please give us a call or come by our office at 509 7th St. in Lake Charles and let us help you! Until next time take care and remember…. Change is inevitable, how you handle it is up to you. Tommy Curtis and Staff Disclaimers: Medicare has neither endorsed nor reviewed this information.

We will resume normal business hours (9am - 5 pm) on Wednesday, Dec. 26th and Wednesday, Jan. 2, 2019. As we move through the holidays and into a new year, we hope you'll take some time to browse the many blog posts we've shared over the past year or so and that you'll find a wealth of information beneficial to your life, home, auto and/or Medicare insurance concerns. When faced with life, home or work changes, we certainly hope you'll give us a call and let us service your insurance needs. It's especially important to insure those new toys you got for Christmas! (ie; boats, jet skis, ATV's, jewelry, artwork, etc.) Meanwhile - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We look forward to serving you in 2019 and beyond.... Tommy Curtis and Staff  If you call for a home, mobile home, or flood policy or to add comprehensive and/or collision insurance to your auto policy and are told no because the company is under binding restrictions, it may confuse or even irritate you.
What in the world are binding restrictions and why do insurance companies implement them?  Image by Nina Garman from Pixabay Whether you think of moving as a grand adventure or one of the most stress-filled undertakings you ever endure, changing locations is something many of us do at least once in our lifetime. We’ve compiled a few tips to help you transition a little more smoothly.  “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” This quote was made famous by Dr. Wayne Dyer, PHD and it is true in so many ways.
Of course, Dr. Dyer was talking about people, places, things and circumstances in your life, but let’s examine this advice in light of insurance.  The lure of the open road, wind in your hair and on your face. Your view unimpeded by glass and metal, body unencumbered by safety belts. The option of huge savings on gasoline, oil, tires and upkeep.
These are a few reasons why people choose to purchase a motorcycle.  Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve delved into reasons why you need to maintain insurance coverage on your recreational vehicles. We’ve covered boats and RV/Campers. Today we’ll talk about ATV’s.
As with other recreational vehicles, if your all-terrain vehicle (ATV) is financed, chances are your bank or financial institute will require coverage until the loan is paid off. However, most people are quick to cancel that insurance as soon as the loan is paid off. Not smart! |
