This is the time we have been waiting for; a new year filled with hope and high expectations. 2011 represents beginnings, a time to build, to establish solid foundations. It is the time to shine, find your purpose, and follow your heart’s desires. What would you do to transform your life? What steps would you follow to become the real person you were born to be? Try this:
1. Learn how to take control of your life. Let no outer forces decide the path you will follow. Your life, now more than ever, is in your hands.
2. Be passionate about everything you feel, think, and do. Dream in the present and follow your passion. Let go of your fears and walk assured that what you deeply desire is already there for you if you dare to follow your dreams. Set your goals and follow through.
3. See obstacles as lessons to be learned. There is a hidden treasure behind every difficult situation. Be sensible to your feelings when tough times knock at your door and ask for divine guidance.
4. Let go of the past which is just an illusion. The past has no power over the present. Today is all there is. Stay in your present and breath every moment.
5. Accept responsibility for your words, actions, and thoughts. See the outcome and act accordingly upon what you want the end result to be.
6. Be committed to yourself. Be faithful to the promises you make to yourself and others. Decide to become your best friend instead of your worst enemy.
7. Forgive yourself and those whom you think have caused you any harm. Forgiveness opens the doors to acceptance and understanding.
8. Be yourself. Discover the best of you and show it to the world. The best of you will attract the best from those around you.
This year challenge yourself to be transformed, re-invented, and reborn. Use the power you were born with to act from your heart, and make the best of every situation you encounter.

Balance: Is It Possible For Working Moms Or Just Ballerinas?
It has long been argued that balance is indeed attainable and something for which to strive. What do you think? I believe that it is all in the perspective you take, the values that you hold dear to your heart, and the choices that move you toward what makes you feel content and fulfilled. Life balance is as individual as you are. Ultimately it is the balance between how much time you spend in each category of your life that feels "right" for you. That ideal balance means different things to different people.

Where Did YOU Get Lost?
Let's face it. As women we give. We do (a lot), we feel, we work, we play (though not enough play!). Do you get tired from so much giving? What I see happening very often with some of my clients is that they get tired, and they feel taken advantage of. But they also get pissed. All these behaviors come from fear. One reaction to the fear is to hide, afraid to shine your light. Why hide your light? Well, either you feel your light will make others feel bad, or will push others away because you are stepping out of the role expected of you, or you are simply scared of owning your power.

HOW I FINALLY OVERCOME MY FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING
When I was six, my father bought me a violin and that was a life-changing gift. I wouldn’t say I was a mind-blowing talent but I was good with music and I enjoyed spending time studying it. At the age of ten, I started to give small concerts. At first for my family and our circle of friends; months later, I was playing on the scene of the School of Fine Arts in my hometown. I can recall how nervous I was before every single concert. However, once I started to play, I was entering a state of ease and flow and my violin became my best friend.

<img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Mv5qM3LGm1k/TBYViBrvG_I/AAAAAAAAAD4/FmorZLlCVsg/s1600/communicating.jpg"> Recently, I had a spirited discussion with a woman who works for me who had made some mistakes I just had to address. Our exchange was tense at times, and we eventually worked things out, but the most interesting thing to come out of it was what we learned from the experience.
