Dear Friends,
Happy New Year! How are you feeling? Despite all of the news last year, I have a great feeling about this year, it's going to be awesome. Many of us were forced to rearrange our priorities, which helped us focus more on appreciating the things in life that really count - family, friends, love, passions, faith, and living with a mission for your life.
My resolution for 2009 is to focus on what I believe I was put on this earth to do, and to stop letting other unrelated "to-do" tasks get in my way. I've also committed to acting with more faith than ever before. I've taken many (wonderful) risks in my life already, but now I'm going to really go for it.
I believe that if you focus entirely on the greatest talents and passions that you've been given, and on serving others in the way that you're most passionate about, God will take care of all the details. Are you thinking of giving your dreams a try? Go for it! Keep me posted on the miracles that you're sure to experience.
Today's article, Stop Overeating: Look and Feel Better, Forever! will help you succeed with the number one New Year's Resolution - getting to a healthy size and staying that way. We don't fail because of lack of discipline; we fail because we don't understand our relationship to food. I've struggled a lot with food issues, and the information that I'll share with you has worked for me for years.
FYI, due to popular demand I've added a new single-session coaching option to my coaching programs (see below), and this month's featured charity is the pet project of my beloved and wise mentor, Bill Lee: Casa Hogar La Familia, an orphanage near Puebla, Mexico.
I've also included information for you about my Workbook and CD's - if this the year to finally start creating the life you've always dreamed of, I think you'll find them to be a great starting point, to help you finally start making those long overdue changes!
Finally, The Vancouver Sun recently ran a full-color spread about me, flamenco, and the importance of passion to your health - click here to read the article.
Here's to your best year ever!

Stop Overeating, to Look and Feel Better, This Year & Forever! |
What's your relationship with food like? From the time I was ten years old, when my aunt invited me to "get slim" with her by eating only grapes (we lasted around six hours), until just a few years ago, I was obsessed with food and the way that I looked. Even though most of that time I actually looked pretty good, I didn't think I would ever be "good enough".
I was recently interviewed about this issue as a panel expert on the national show The Daily: Weekend Edition with Todd Cantelon (www.thedailyweekend.ca), and was floored when my beautiful friend and co-producer of my upcoming show, Stephanie, commented on-air that she's felt awful about her body her entire life, even in her twenties, when she performed as a (no-doubt-drop-dead-gorgeous) go-go dancer!
That illustrated to me, yet again, that the way we feel about our bodies, and ourselves, is an internal phenomenon that often has nothing to do with reality, or the wonderful version of "you" that so many other people see and appreciate.
The same goes for getting to our ideal, healthiest size. On the outside, we may try out some new fad, or promise ourselves that we're going to stick to a new eating plan, but our enthusiasm disappears after a few days and we find ourselves right back in old habits.
We fail because we don't understand what's really going on inside of us. We don't understand our relationship to food, our ideas about getting to a healthier, more ideal size, and why we "can't" succeed. Most programs don't properly address our behaviors and beliefs around food, and they also aren't designed to be sustained for life.

| New for the New Year: Single Coaching Sessions Now Available! |
For quite some time, like most other coaches, I've only offered multiple-session coaching packages, as I believed that that was the only effective way to truly help you achieve your goals. Many of you have asked me for single sessions in the past, and "in your best interest", I would say no.
However, in the last year, I've given away a number of one hour sessions as "prizes" for events and charities, and have been amazed by how much that one session seemed to help each person that I worked with. The feedback has been just wonderful, and I really enjoyed it, too.
So, it's now official:
If you'd like to book a single session with me, click here, and I'll contact you regarding dates and times that work best for you.
Of course, I still offer extended coaching programs, which I'd be happy to talk to you about (you can email me by responding to this email, or by writing to susan@susanbiali.com).
"Susan, thank you for all the support and encouragment you have given me over the past several months. I always feel motivated after our sessions and you have truly helped me to identify my goals and create an action plan to achieve them. Your positive energy and enthusiasm are inspiring!" - Tammy Perconti, New Jersey, USANA Health Sciences Independent Distributor
If you'd like more information on what it will be like to be coached by me, you'll find it right here.

You never know what life will present you with, if you just take one small step or risk. Early last year I went, for the first time, to a U.S. National Speaker's Association (NSA) Meeting, only because my own coach insisted that I go.
There, in San Francisco, I attended a presentation by Bill Lee, one of NSA's most respected speakers. When he mentioned his support of an orphanage in my "second home", Mexico, I gathered the courage to go up to him and introduce myself. .
Today, he's one of the greatest mentors I've ever had, in life and in business, and to thank him for all he's done, I'd like to tell you about his very favourite project: Casa Hogar La Familia, an orphanage just outside of Puebla, Mexico.
In Bill's own words:
" In 2000, my cousin who is a minister in Tennessee, introduced me to a ministry that I have been heavily involved in ever since. The ministry is an orphanage in Palmarito in the State of Puebla about three hours to the east of Mexico City. My group provides 100% of the funding for the operation of the orphanage.
Our lease was not renewed in our previous location, so we currently have our 29 children, two directors and three volunteers in temporary housing in Tehuacan, a relatively large city about an hour from Palmarito. However, construction of the new orphanage we are building in Palmarito is moving according to plan and we expect to occupy the new building in January of 2009.
Most of the children of Casa Hogar La Familia are actually not orphans. Approximately 40% of the children we care for are products of prostitution, another 35% to 40% have been abandoned by their parents and the balance are either orphaned or else their parents simply don't have enough income to care for them. Included are several families: one family of five children and another of four children.
The mother of the family of five children gave birth to them as a prostitute and the mother of the family of four children is an illegal immigrant in the US who abandoned her children.
Casa Hogar La Familia is associated with a Christian church in Mexico: Amistad Christiana, which translates to Christian Friendship. When we occupy the new building in January, we also plan to plant a church in this small community.
Our goal is to get them through high school and then encourage them to learn a trade in technical school or if academically inclined, attend college.
Anyone who is interested in making a donation to help us with this ministry should make their checks payable to Embrace the Dream Foundation, Inc., PO Box 5558, Greenville, SC 29607 USA.
Any questions may be emailed to Bill Lee: blee3paris@aol.com "
Help Casa Hogar La Familia make a difference in this world, by supporting this very worthy cause!
