1. Ho Ho Ho - A Therapeutic Exercise for You

Ho Ho HO! No. It's not Christmas yet, but it's Friday
morning which is a good enough reason to say Ho Ho Ho,
don't you think?

Ya know, I really really love the New Year. New Year's
Day especially. It feels so good to pack away the old
and bring out the new.

I love planning and organizing. I love challenging myself
and setting goals and then reviewing them at the end
of the year to see what I accomplished.

Next Week

Next week we'll talk about getting clear about goals
for the 2007, but this week let's do another fun
exercise.

The year goes by so fast that it's easy to forget what
you actually have done and the meaningful experiences
you had. But it's important to try and remember. As
we grow older, these memories will become more and
more valuable to us.

This Year

Go back to January 2006. Try to remember where
you were New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Then
starting with that month, write down one or two
things you remember about your life in that month.

Since memories will become more and more important to
us as we age, it's great if you can keep this list in a
scrapbook or journal. It's okay to remember the
blunders too.

Go through each month of this year and do the same
thing.

If you'd like, make another column to include major
occurrences that happened within the seasons. Winter,
Spring, Summer, Fall. It may trigger memories that you
didn't think of as you went through the months.

Christmas

For Christmas I'm going on the road with my dad who
is a truckdriver. I'm going to be writing a blog so you
can find out what I eat and how I exercise on the
road. Find out if I hit any roadblocks. ;-) Check out
the details below.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, and Other Celebrations!

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.

certificate for the holidays.

"For whatever reason, people are so inclined to spend
money on a health club membership and working out
their body, but when it comes to working on the mind
and emotions, people are more hesitant. I remember
the session that we had together and all of the advise
and direction that you provided was truly excellent.
You really made a very positive impact on my life and
I can tell that you are exceptionally gifted in this area.
You have a very intuitive sense and are able to put all
the pieces together very quickly and correctly. These
are very good skills for the type of coaching that you
do, and I hope that more people will see how they can
benefit from the coaching that you provide." - J.R.

3. Find Out What I Eat and How I Exercise on the Road -
My Travel Blog

Want to see a goofy morning picture of me next to a pop
tart box? No! Of course they're not my pop tarts. :-)

I am going on the road with my dad for 2 weeks. Check
out my blog to find out what I'll be eating, what I'll be
doing for exercise, and how I'll be conquering the
challenges.

We'll be living out of a cooler, so this could get interesting!

I've already posted details about the trip.
