1. Women's Weight Loss Group
Before I share this week's inspiration, I just want to mention that summer is around the corner and I know that many of you would like to lose some weight in a healthy way as well as work on your self-esteem and body image. If this is you, and you'd like to be a part of a women's weight loss group, please contact me asap.
I'd like to end this month's series on following your heart with the lyrics to a song that inspires me every time I hear it. The song was given to me as a gift by two separate people when I decided to move to NYC. You've all heard the lyrics, but read them closely and take each line in slowly, as if it is the first time you've ever read them and like they were personally written to you...
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I Hope You Dance... I Hope You Dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin'
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin'
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I Hope You Dance... I Hope You Dance
I Hope You Dance... I Hope You Dance
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
DANCE... I HOPE YOU DANCE
I hope you dance... I hope you dance
I hope you dance... I hope you dance
by Mark D. Sanders and Tia Sillers; Performed by Lee Ann Womack
What is that thing that's been on your heart? Please e-mail me and tell me what this brings up for you. I would love to hear about the thoughts and feelings that are coming to mind.
3. Actress Anna Berger interviewed by Peter Rinaldi (PART 3 & 4)
A close friend of mine, Peter Rinaldi, has an active blog called the Boutros Boutros Follies. It is hosted by several members who post an assortment of entertaining stories on varied topics delivered through different forms of media.
This week, Peter, an independent filmmaker, has posted Part Three and Four of seven video interviews with actress Anna Berger. Why am I listing this in A Balanced Perspective? Because it's a great story of a woman who had a dream and went after it. :-)
Part three talks about how her husband won her heart, and also about her beginnings in Hollywood. Part four shares about the beginnings of the famous Actor's Studio.
Anna has had a steady career working in film, TV, and on Broadway for over 60 years. Her resume is too long to list here, but she has worked with notable names such as Mae West and John Garfield. She recently did a film with Adam Sandler and is currently touring her own one woman show. Her story is delightful and inspiring and a great example of doing what you love.

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.

I Am - Strategic Solutions for Women in their 20's
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).

"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 more people will see how they can benefit from the coaching that you provide." -J.R.
"You are non-judgmental and so real and practical about dealing with these issues. I tell everyone about you. You are so young, but you are so smart and have great insight. I love working with you, and I'm a tough customer." GG, NYC
