Food for thought; Lunch ‘N Learn will be about “Managing Your Chaos.” Tonya Foreman and Tara Gotwalt will help participants identify if their life is in chaos, out of control and if they tend to move from one crisis to another. Webster’s Dictionary defines “Chaos” as any confused collection or state of things; complete disorder. Chaos-addicted individuals lack the ability to control the amount of disorder in their lives. Chaos breeds chaos. More and more, we ’re pressured to further complicate our already complicated lives.

If this subject matter resonates with you and your life, please plan to attend our next “food for thought” which is scheduled for Nov. 21 from 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. at the Pawhuska Business Development Center. Lunch is provided. To make reservations, contact Cindy Helmer now at 918-287-3357 or chelmer@tctc.org.
