Governor Spitzer Expected to Cut Vital Funding for Women

This is from my mentor, Sheri Mooney:

As you may know, the Everywoman Opportunity Center has been assisting women in obtaining and maintaining employment in WNY for over 30 years.  Remember - this program returns money to the state via taxes on earnings of individuals helped into viable jobs and it is the ONLY safety net for women in transition in the state. www.everywoman.org

The vast majority of their funding is from NYS and the current budget from the Governor has cut ALL funding for these vital services. 

Consequently, Everywoman and the other displaced homemaker centers across the State are reaching out with their Purple Postcard campaign and asking its supporters to send these cards directly into the Governor.  I have these postcards and will make them available to you.  Just send me an email or call and I will get as many to you as you need.  If you are attending a meeting or any event where you would like to pass these out, please advise so I can get you a bulk amount in advance.

Please feel free to forward this email to anyone that you believe would support Everywoman and would like a postcard. 

Correspondence on this issue may also be sent directly to The Hon. Eliot Spitzer, Governor of New York, State Capital, Albany, NY 12224.  Time is essential as we need to get this completed during the 30 day waiting period.

Thanks in advance for all of your support on this critical issue for women in New York.  We can and will make a difference.

Mommy Millionaire Discusses "The Revolution"

More from Mommy Millionaire Kim Lavine:

The word “revolution” may be one of the most overused words of the last year. Watch TV for a half hour and you’re probably going to see it mentioned in at least one commercial. Everybody wants to deliver a revolutionary idea that is going to capture a huge segment of the population and drive them into some kind of suddenly self-conscious social group, so that marketers can market to them. But out of all the people claiming a revolution, this one is for real and it’s flying just under the radar of the nation’s consciousness, about to explode.

As I pointed out in my book MOMMY MILLIONAIRE, there are 11 million women entrepreneurs in this country. That’s 40% of all businesses. That number never fails to shock whatever media person I’m talking to. But what is perhaps more shocking, is that women are starting businesses today at two times the rate of men. The US Census Bureau predicts that by 2025, 55% of all businesses in the US will be owned by women.

It’s not just that these numbers are revolutionary. It’s the social conditions behind them that are driving this sea change where the real revolution lies. According to a recent poll by Oprah, out of 38 million women with children in the US, two- thirds of the working moms who responded said they would quit work and stay home with their kids if they could. Among the stay-at-home moms, more than one-third wished they worked outside the home. The truth is, the technology of the 21st century is changing our daily lives in new and revolutionary ways, radically transforming the 9 to 5 workday and family world. Fed up with the corporate world, women are taking their own destinies into their hands and following their dreams in record numbers. Never before has it been so distinctly possible for women to have it all!

But this isn’t a women’s revolution. It’s a family revolution.

It’s not a political revolution. It’s an economic revolution.

It’s not a technological revolution. It’s a communication revolution.

Many of my “Daddy Millionaires” have written to me lately to remind me how they’re part of this revolution too. One of them is Dan Gosling at http://www.chopsaver.com . Visit Dan’s site and you’ll realize how he deftly he’s used this new communication revolution to launch a grass roots campaign that has taken his product into distribution across the world. To hear more about my definition of the “New Grass Roots” and how to launch your own successful campaign, tune into The Good Life Radio Show with Jesse Dylan on September 26th at 2:45 when I will be interviewed.

As we lead this revolution across the world, let’s make sure we focus on substance, not image, on detailed resource, not the promise of information, on inspiration and support, and not an impossibly-high standard that only a few gifted with exclusive educations and career choices can attain. Let’s make sure to support each other with hope, honesty and faith. There’s enough for everyone to go around.

How to Unleash your Inner Sexpot

Would you like to unleash your inner Sexpot?
Pole dancing is the latest trend in workouts it is true. It is Audacious. It is bold.

And fun.

It makes me feel juicy, bodacious and empowered. It trims my waistline and causes me to think differently about who I am being in the world. All that from 2 hours in a very intense and pleasurable workout?

Yes.

So consider this.
If all matter is energy and the Law of Attraction says that like
energy attracts like energy, then imagine the kind of gorgeous
energy you can create by giving the pole a whirl?

There is much to be said for my pole dancing classes and I have
noticed a change in how I approach everything in my life.

As Sheila Kelly, the founder of SFactor has said, "Soak in the
pure, unadulterated flow of your life. Breathe it in and exhale
everything in your mind until your entire being is just bliss. Let
your body float with soft, languid moves that are simply organic to
your being. When you step outside into your day you will notice
something has shifted."

I think I am (finally!) becoming the exquisite creature I was meant to be.
When you uncover your inner sexpot you also uncover your creative
center, which helps you to think of great new ideas for your
business and gives you the lift-off to actually complete what you
start!

Imagine that?

One of my coaches, Andrea J. Lee of Vancouver, British Columbia often speaks about doing activities that open you to your most sensual and creative self. For me it comes from movement and there is nothing like gathering the courage to dance with a pole...and do it gracefully. And also not be afraid to flop on the floor and try again.

If you are looking for a way to shape up your body, mind and spirit
then the Sfactor may just be the thing for you. They have intro
classes and studios are opening all over the place.

Even Oprah loves it.
You will too.
It's Pure Audacious power.

Go on check it out. You know you want to.
