College Life Prep Workshop
So you are "in" college, but now what is next? How are you going to get ready for college. In this workshop, we will discuss what you can do now, to prepare for life at college. You will leave this workshop with specific strategies to prepare for college life: academically, logistically, and emotionally.
Proud to be Me! - Young Adult Series This program is designed specifically for young adults to: · Learn to understand themselves better · Get along better with friends and others · Recognize and develop their strengths
Our young adults face many difficult decisions and must deal with all types of people in life. Proud to be Me! will help teens better understand themselves and others and why they get along with some people and feel uncomfortable with others. Rather than deepening separations among young people, this program will help young adults build bridges of mutual understanding and respect. Proud to Be Me! provides participants with tools to use in everyday life; helping to make positive choices and decisions in difficult situations.
Your Best Year Yet, Part I and Part II
Dates and times for these workshops are forthcoming. If you are interested in more information visit our website, email margaret@margaretpundmann.com or call 314.266.1532.

This Week's Topic: Let Us Unite!

Dear Friend,
"I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings. My wisdom flows from the Highest Source. I salute that Source in you. Let us work together for unity and love." ~Mahatma Gandhi
Are you a force that pulls people together or one that divides? Perhaps you are like most people and you both unite and divide. Let's use this week to consciously focus on growing our ability to unite people. Be it at work, at home with your family, in your volunteer work, with your friends - we can always grow in our strengths. Take time this week to consider ways that you can continue to unite.
Ways we unite:
· Being inclusive · Affirming · Encouraging · Celebrating · Championing · Finding joy for others success · Respecting differences · Honoring the uniqueness of each individual · Learning about others · Praying for others
Because we aren't perfect, from time to time our thoughts, words and actions can lead us to divide. Below are suggestions of what might be divisive activites.
Ways we divide:
· Comparing · Exaggerating differences · Exclusion · Competing · Having negative thoughts about others · Gossiping · Being fearful
Make it Happen
Which side are you on? Are you a force of unification? Declare today what you stand for! Take time this week to practice your strength in uniting people - regardless of your "work" (home, volunteer or office) your ability to unite will come in handy!
"Build for your team a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another and of strength to be derived by unity" ~Vince Lombardi
Blessings to you,
Margaret.
