Women's January Breakfast with Gaye Lindfors:

   “Don’t Miss Your Boat: Living a Life of Purpose in the Real World”

Saturday, January 28, 2012
9:00 – 11:00 AM
Cost: $10/person

We've all said to ourselves, "If I can just get through this week, then..." or "As soon as the kids get older, I'm going to ...." But, daydreaming about the future can get discouraging after a while!

Our days are filled with “real life.”  Aging parents, unemployment, laundry, and bad hair days!  We try and please so many, and sometimes we lose our own purpose…our own self…along the way.

With stories, humor, and lessons learned the hard way, Gaye will remind you that you were created for a divine purpose and YOUR life matters.  You will leave Encouraged.  Inspired.  Hopeful.
