Self: Consider Yours  
The social events abound. There are endless opportunities it seems to party, dance, eat and be entertained! But, there are also some opportunities for self...self reflection, self growth, self learning and self help. With only one self, we should all consider these life chances.
   Just this week, it was announced that Get Motivated Business seminar is coming to Beaumont featuring Zig Ziglar and Sarah Palin among others. Our area offers some wonderful events for business learning and networking. In the coming month there is a Better Business Bureau Stop on March 18 at Spindletop Steakhouse and Continental Cuisine and a  Greater Beaumont Chamber  of Commerce Mix and Mingle at DuPont Goodrich Federal on March 24. The Beaumont Chamber also hosts a Business Connection every Friday morning at 7:30 a.m. at the Tavern in the MCM Elegante Hotel.
   If it would behoove your business to know anything and everything about Beaumont, don't miss Destination Training, March 17 with the Beaumont Convention and Visitors Bureau.
   It's not all business, though. There are plenty of opportunities to grow and learn individually. Consider that nearly every week Family Services of Southeast Texas offers Marriage Workshops. There are Twogether Workshops in Beaumont, Silsbee and Orange in the coming month.
   The Lamar Institute of Technology has a course on Advanced Directives and Living Wills, an Intro to Computers for Seniors and courses on Foreclosures, Googling, Webpage Design and Operating a Forklift and more, just in February and March.
   Lamar University has some interesting programs in March also. There's a Body Language Lecture on March 1 and a Dress for Success Workshop on March 17.
