The Community Reserve of New Carlisle

I visited the Community Reserve of New Carlisle's Clothing Giveaway at the Wesleyan Church in New Carlisle last Saturday at the invitation of Marvin Larue.  I met Marvin and his wife through a networking group that I belong to.  I was so impressed with the organization of this charitable operation! 

The Community Reserve had 14 friendly volunteers work to set up the clothing giveaway in 4 1/2  hours.


The day that I visited, the Community Reserve had helped 114 people and 27 families.

Today, Thanksgiving Day, is a day to enjoy your family and friends and to be thankful for what you have.  However, if what you have is just way too much and you need to de-clutter and get organized, may I suggest donating your clothing, household items and furniture to The Community Reserve?  Their website can be visited by clicking here.

Just a few friendly volunteers from at The Community Reserve.

The Community Reserve was a prayer answered for me this past summer after holding an estate sale for a client.  The house was still packed and the Community Reserve came and helped me to empty much of it.  I don't know what I would have done without them AND the items went to people who really needed it.

If you have donations - call Marvin Larue at 574-654-8237.  If you have clothing donations - call Clothes Closet Coordinator Robin Humphrey at 574-220-1680.

Change is uncomfortable.  It makes me uneasy.  It's unsettling.   Have you ever felt the same? Change, for me, was also necessary.  Which is totally contradictory to what I just said, right? A few weeks ago, I was talking with my coach and sharing with her that I was feeling super uncomfortable.  I was somewhat aware that I was changing, but I wasn't giving it my undivided attention.   Carol, my coach, explained to me that I was feeling was completely normal.  And I knew it - but I didn't want to necessarily deal with it.  She asked me to embrace it.  Once I did, I got even more uncomfortable.  It was one of the worst feelings I've ever experienced.  It was difficult for me to make a decision.  Who am I?  Who am I changing into?  Do my old thoughts and ideas match who I am becoming?  How is this change going to change the way I present myself, work with clients, live my life? You know what? The moment I embraced who I was becoming, is the moment that everythi

Mastering Your Mindset and Overcoming Limiting Beliefs

Image
Mindset is a funny thing.   When it's strong, you feel like you can tackle anything.  When it's weak, you feel like you have no energy and can't accomplish a thing. Let me share an example with you.   Are you wishing that you could declutter your dining room table so that you can share meals as a family, but a little voice is telling you that you can't do it?  Sound familiar? This was Ellen's wish during last month's call.   She tried in the past, the table got cluttered again and she shut down. During the call, Ellen identified a new way to deal with her dining room table, when it gets cluttered.  Something she's never tried before.  She changed her mindset. Are you interested in the steps you can take to make your mindset so strong that not only have you cleared and kept your (fill in the blank) clear, but your family is sharing quality time together - and your relationships have become stronger?  If yes, read on.
