1. Better Taste, Less Money - What produce is in season?

There are a lot of reasons to eat in season, fresh, local produce. But two reasons that have a direct affect on you in the moment is that produce grown locally is usually less expensive because it doesn't have to travel across the country or across the world to get to the supermarket, and 2) it's usually at it's peak taste - which also means that it's more fresh and dense with nutrients

Sometimes we have to purchase food that is locally out of season, but you will spend much less money if you plan accordingly and purchase food during it's local time of harvest.

Summer is a great time too, because more produce is available locally than at other times of the year.

If you don't spend a lot of time in the kitchen, I suggest that you just pick two or three things on the list that you really like and add them to lettuce or mesclun with your favorite dressing, or saute them with some tofu, shrimp, or chicken. You can add teriyaki sauce or fresh herbs for seasoning.

Whatever you do, don't pass up the fruit. This time of year is just amazing to get fruit at it's best.

So what's in season now?

By the way.

I have one spot available in my women's group for August. I am also taking names for my young women's group, which will begin in the fall for women who want to build more confidence in their own choices about their future.

Enjoy the rest of your week! I'm going to get some berries!

3. Women's Groups

Women 24-30

I'm starting a group for young women who want to build more confidence in their own choices about what they are doing with their life. This is a time when we often ask questions about what we really want to do and if we are making the right choices when it comes to relationships, career, where we want to live, etc. Our parents and friends often try to influence us, but in the end, we have to decide.

This group meets one time a week, and is $75 per month. You will also have access to e-mail support throughout the week.

If you are interested in this group, please contact me: melissa@myheartdances.com

Women's Professional Group

This is my longstanding Wednesday night women's group. We are beginning to study and discuss communication and conflict resolution. We meet every Wednesday night from 6:45 - 8:15. It's a small group and we have built great relationships. We would love for you to join us.

If you think you could be communicating better, or if you avoid conflict, now would be a great time to come meet with us. The cost is $75 per month.

Contact me if you are interested: melissa@myheartdances.com


4. Featured Life Coaching Package - The Lifestyle Makeover

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).

***

All programs can be adjusted to fit your specific needs. Number of sessions can be increased or decreased based on your goals.

Payment plans available.

"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.
