Susan Gains from Wild Heart Coaching was our speaker last week.  Susan talked about prioritizing health care, 3 essential pathways to self-care, and what are you standing up for.  Essential pathways include creating healthy boundaries, letting go of perfectionism, and listening to you body.  Susan quoted Harriet Braiker "Striving for Excellence Motivates You; Striving for Perfection is Demoralizing."  An example of prioritizing health care is meditation and prayer.  Susan closed by talking about the Next Frontier and the 3 keys to self care: Listen to your body; Set healthy boundaries; and let go of perfectionism.  Susan can be reached at www.wildhartcoaching.com or 612-203-9619.  Thanks for coming Susan!  Pictured with Susan is Rotarian Bob Gullick.

The board would like to have a local businesses present a 3 minute introduction to their company at each meeting.

Please let Dave Hanson know if you get someone and he'll add to the schedule.
