Kick Out the Old – Bring in the New
This workshop is designed as an interactive session for people who are at home and/or empty nesters. Over a 4 week period of time
we will take a look at what did not work for you this past year and then look at the realm of possibilities for you in the New Year and
years to follow. Some of the questions we will be looking at are: What limits do you place on yourself? Do you stay within your
comfort zone? Are you stopped by something that you tell yourself or others tell you? Are you the victim of others opinions of you?
Perhaps you think you can only have a designated amount of money, joy or health. Perhaps it is time to look at what is available and
