In or Out?

In or Out? Mentors, Life Coaches, Teachers, Community leaders and other professionals ....
people who get paid to "help" people .....

This is not the same world as it was a year ago! We can't take this lightly just because we still have our own careers and our regular paychecks, or our pensions or whatever.....

If we're going to be any help at all to the strugglers of the world we've got to be out in the trenches. Got to feel it in your heart and really understand what the economic downturn has done to people, especially to single women and their shifting roles as workers, providers of services, nurturing,  nourishment, encouragement and other important resources for family and community.

Easy homework for those with regular paychecks: 
Get out there on week-ends to the world of garage sales and second hand stores, shop for 99 cent fashions, see what you find. Strike up a conversation with the woman next to you, ask for shopping advice, ask how the economy has effected her and her friends, parents and her kids. Listen. Above all listen from the center of your heart. Make bargain hunting, asking questions and listening to amazing "non-professional" women your mission every week-end for a few months until your idea of spending and recreation changes within you. Then write a letter telling the world how the experience has changed your outward expressions of assistance and advice. Thanks. Sincerely and truly! I love you. And I want to hear from you! Nuri
