1. An Older Wiser You
Imagine yourself 10 years from now.
How old will you be?
Imagine yourself 20 years from now.
Now think about these current areas of your life:
Physical
Health
Relationships
Career
Spirituality
Emotions
Which areas are not where you want them? Which
areas do you know what you should do, but aren't
doing it?
Which areas are you confused about and not clear
about a direction?
The Clarifying Questions
If you were an older and wiser you? What would
you tell your younger you?
What will the you 10 years from now, 20 years from
now, wish you would have done?
What opportunities will that you wish you would
have taken advantage of?
What things will that you wish you would have
passed up, or wish you wouldn't have wasted your
time on?
Stop What You're Doing!
You know that I often ask you to stop for a minute
while you're reading this newsletter because I really
want you to think, organize your thoughts, and
discover meaningful insights about yourself, or
to come to a decision.
Today I'm asking you to do this. To either do it
now, or to schedule a time in your datebook to do
it later. Schedule the time before you close this
e-mail.
These are really important things to consider. You
will be the one living with yourself 10 years from
now, 20 years from now. You will be the one who
will be living with the decisions you made... not so
wonderful ones and wonderful ones.
Consider these questions and keep them in a note-
book as we go through the next couple weeks and
approach the New Year. We will be evaluating 2006
our life, and thinking about what's to come.
I always love to hear from you. Write in if you want
to share your thoughts.
In the winter spirit,
Melissa

2. Wellness Packages and Gift Certificates!
***Exciting New Programs***
The Lifestyle Makeover
I don't know what I'm doing with my life. I'm not
satisfied with my career, my relationships are not
going anywhere. I'm not really where I want to be.
Sound like you? This package will cover career,
relationships, spirituality, and health. You'll gain a
stronger hold on your identity, and find satisfaction
moving forward towards discovering and completing
personal goals and projects.
6 sessions - $675
The Nutrition and Health Makeover
I don't eat what I should, nor do I stick to an
exercise plan. I'm not even sure if I know what I
should eat! I find myself snacking on junk food and
eating poorly when I'm at work or traveling. I want
to have more energy and be fit. I want to grow old
healthy!
This package is for the typical New Yorker. You want
to be conscious about your health, but you are not
making it happen. You want more energy and to eat
better. In this plan we'll get down to the nitty gritty
about what is getting in the way for you, and how
you can achieve a healthier you without cramping
your lifestyle. We'll create a therapeutic lifestyle
plan that works just for you!
3 sessions - $375
The Weight Loss Makeover
I'm tired of not sticking to my diets. I'm ready to
make a commitment to my health. I want to see my
real body underneath this cushion. I want to feel
good when I walk down the street and enter a room.
Sticking to a weight loss plan is hard. No doubt about
it! This program is designed to get you off the dieting
cycle and get you on a plan to achieve results. It's
for individuals who are ready to make a change and
commit to giving this gift to themselves. No more
quick fix attempts. This is the real deal!
10 sessions - $1125
I Am - Strategic Solutions for Women in their Twenties
I love working with young women! It's a time in life
where you are testing your own identity and power in
this world, yet sometimes you feel conflicted by the
pressure of your parents' and peers' ideas about what
track you should be on. You have your own mind and
you want to use it...but sometimes you're not sure
about your different opinions. This program deals with
self-image, self-respect, confidence, and effective
decision making.
5 sessions - $575 (sliding scale available for this
program...please call or e-mail me for details)
All programs can be adjusted to fit your specific needs.
Number of sessions can be increased or decreased
based on your goals.
Payments plans available.

"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 - Buy Nothing Christmas
Buy Nothing Christmas? What? Well. If you are into social
responsibility and that sort of thing, this isn't the first time
you've heard about over consumption in North America and
national "Buy Nothing" days.
What Is Buy Nothing Christmas? Buy Nothing Christmas is a
national initiative started by Canadian Mennonites who offer
a prophetic “no” to the patterns of over consumption of
middle-class North Americans. They are inviting Christians
(and others) all over to join a movement to de-commercialize
Christmas and re-design a Christian lifestyle that is richer in
meaning, smaller in impact upon the earth, and greater in
giving to people less-privileged.
Who are the Mennonites? A group of Christians who are
community-oriented, counter-culture pacifists (at least in
theory, see below for more). But this campaign is open to
everyone, regardless of religion, faith, creed or conviction.
Am I a Mennonite? No. But I dig what this campaign is
proposing.
