1. Would You Like Support, Motivation, Coaching?

Not Doing What You Came Here To Do?

Do you feel like you came to NYC to do something
specific, something creative, but somehow you've
gotten off the path?  You're not doing what you
set out to do, but you would like to be?

Don't Know What You Want To Do?

Are you a little confused about what you want?

Just Need Some Guidance?

Are you new to the city, pusuing a dream, but
could use some guidance, and direction to navigate
the ins and outs of making the dream work?

Want Your Health Goals To Work?

What about health?  Do you feel like if you just had
support, the right kind of motivation, and guidance,
you could achieve your goals?

These are all important concerns.  I have helped a
lot of people with all or even just one of the issues
above.  I would love to work with you if this is
what's on your mind.

Give me a call to see if coaching will help you
take the guided, proactive steps you need to get
on track!

2. Which Veggies Contain The Most Pesticides?

The Envoronmental Working Group just released
their newest list of top 12 conventional fruits and
vegetables containing the least amount of
pesticides and the top 12 containg the most.

They tested the produce after it was washed and
prepared as it normally would be.  Now you can
know which vegetables and fruit you can purchase
when organic is unavailable or you're trying to save
money, and which ones to avoid.

Before checking out the list, a reminder of just a
couple things.  This is your last chance to sign-up
for the final Nutrition and Weight Loss workshop of
the year.  It's happening next Wednesday.  And, if
you want to sign-up for October cooking classes,
do it soon!

Last but not least, I'm leaving Dr. Dara's (dentist)
info below again this week because I still have a
few $50 gift certificates left that I can give you for
free if you need to make a dentist appointment. 
Just e-mail me.

And here's your top 12 lists:

Fruits & Veggies Highest in Pesticides
Peaches
Apples
Sweet Bell Peppers
Celery
Nectarines
Strawberries
Cherries
Pears
Imported Grapes
Spinach
Lettuce
Tomatoes

Top 12 Fruits & Veggies Lowest In Pesticides

Avocado
Frozen Sweet Corn
Pineapples
Mango
Asparagus
Frozen Sweet Peas
Kiwi Fruit
Bananas

"I am constantly finding myself being amazed with
Melissa.  She is non-judgmental, supportive, caring,
encouraging, compassionate, open minded, and full of
knowledge.  So many times she has been my support
rock.  I have had the most pleasurable experience of
working with her as both her client, and as her web
designer.  She has supported me in some emotionally
difficult times such as stress when I was in school,
relationships, diet, finances, and business.  She has
always listened intently and has provided me with
sound advice.  I am unable to think of suitable words
to express the thanks and deep appreciation I have for
her and how she impacted my life."

3. Website Highlight Of The Week - Dentist

Need a great dentist?  I have a dentist who I have
been seeing for several years.  She is holistic - don't
worry...that means nothing scary! - and she is the
best dentist I've ever had!  I feel like a partner in my
own health when I'm working with her.  She explains
everything to me!

I also happen to have a few gift certificates for $50
off any regular service with her.  If you are interested
just drop me an e-mail.  I would be happy to send you
one.

Check out her info here:  Dara Kessler, DMD
