2010 Year in Review

Yahoo! News has put together this 2010 Year in Review page covering the most popular news stories, searches, and trends of 2010.

Workshop planned for January 8 at 1 pm

It’s a new year and a new you! Space is still available for the upcoming workshop at the Monroe Library addressing “Fear of Failure.” Do you find yourself procrastinating when it comes to getting a project done? Learn how to look at fear with a new perspective, explore different pathways for accomplishing your project, and learn skills to defeat negative self-talk.

Terry Antoniewicz has been on the "go" her entire adult life. Her 40 plus years of experience comes from adapting to all the moves she made, looking for professional opportunities in every new location. Some of the times were most challenging, especially when the economy headed south or when living in another country, but with each new challenge, she custom created new solutions for herself. The result is solid experience in the business realm as well as the art world, which would provide much of the material for assisting others in overcoming the challenges they face.

Throughout this time of travel throughout north America, Ms. Antoniewicz has been a speaker for many organizations including museums, businesses, art associations, small groups and individuals. The information she offers is reality based and most practical, sprinkled with a liberal dose of light humor. Her ability to easily communicate ideas, discuss issues and provide insightful solutions provides her with a following that keeps her motivated to continue her passion of exploring and presenting a variety of programs.

Register for her workshop, “Fear of Failure,” at the Library’s Welcome Desk.
