Debbie Battersby, Janneh International

150 S. Gary Avenue, Carol Stream
11:30am - 1:30pm
$20 Members/$25 Visitors
RSVP BY MAY 29th
This will be a joint luncheon with the Bartlett,
Warrenville and Winfield Chambers Women's groups.
Debbie's work presents a new twist on understanding
our emotions. She contends there are no negative
emotions, though clearly those that don't feel good,
those that feel really bad and even those that seem
unbearable.
Everything Comes to Serve is a fascinating look into
the purpose and power of our emotions, especially the
uncomfortable ones, and learning how to use them to
our greatest benefit.
Harness the power of FEAR and gain simple insights
into releasing the feelings that have been holding you
back. Use these tools in everyday situations
PHILANTHROPY - Bring a Teddy Bear (12" - 14") for
the Carol Stream Firefighters to share with a child who
is a medical or fire victim.
Watch for more information on this event soon!
