Clarinda Elves Operation Blessing that serves the families inside the Clarinda city limits. This year we served approx 72 families. That means that our amazing elves blessed over 150 kids with Christmas presents. Santa delivery was more than plentiful, Thank you Chad Sunderman and Cody Cordell for stepping into the red suit!
We always have the best wrappers who donate countless hours to us!!
We really cannot thank the different people for making this successful. I cannot even begin to name them all. We have so many! But let me give a huge shout out to the backbone of this operation. Anchor Homes Inc. WANTS TO THANK Abby Kay Cordell Keisha Williams Michelle Smalley Sunderman AND Brittaney Shampang for the countless hours this year to this!! To numerous employees who volunteered their time during the season.
The Clarinda high-school softball girls Brad knight and for rounding up the girls again this year. Their energy is a blessing to us!!
To the parents who we've been graced with watching your kids grow and change.
We also were able to provide a full meal for each family. Ham, potatoes, vegetables, rolls, and a pie to EVERY SINGLE FAMILY!
This program thrives because of the support and blessings from our community but also by the Grace of God to provide the resources to make it happen.

Merry Christmas with Love from Jeff and Karen and the entire Anchor Homes family!

Huge blessings were shared with Anchor Homes for the Clarinda Elves Program that assists Clarinda families with children in school have a great Christmas. The Marines, through the Veterans Program at the Clarinda Prison donate to Toys for Tots. The inmates out there also contributed $550 this year for the Toys for Tots Program.

The 1% Rule Boundaries (The Tiny No)

Say "NO" to one thing today.

We are so conditioned to always saying yes and doing for others. A lot of us have "The Good Girl Mentality" where what we do and how much we do is attached to our self-worth.

Every time you say yes to something you really wanted to say no to, you are saying no to yourself. This just leads to frustration, resentment and zaps your energy.

Affirmation of the day: "Every boundary I set protects my energy-and that is love"

"No is a full sentence, and I am allowed to use it."
