GLOW with This Great Magazine--And Find THE Top Doctor for Whatever You Need

After attending some of the greatest event in New York-where the mission is always on wellness, health and beauty-- I had to write about my favorite new magazine and the force behind it-- the great Anne Akers.

 

As a seasoned publisher, Founder/Publisher of Castle Connolly Graduate Medical

and Co-Founder/Publisher of MDPUBLISH.com, Anne Akers has fulfilled a lifelong

dream of launching a quality, custom publication designed to help women (and

men) locate the top resources for beauty, health, and wellness.   The magazine -

called GLOW Beauty, Health and Wellness, is available on-line at www.glowbeautymag.com

and distributed throughout Manhattan, Long Island, and the Hamptons.  In addition,

special events are held throughout New York through the GLOW Speakers Bureau.

Recent events have been held at Clarins Skin Spa and Elizabeth Arden/Red Door Spas,

featuring best-selling Authors and selected beauty, health and wellness experts. I have learned so much and gotten terrific resources from these events.

 

Anne has assembled a Medical Advisory Board of "top doctors" as well as cosmetic

and beauty journalists to  address key topics of interest to today's consumer.

Recent cover stories identify "celebrities with a cause" and have included Deborah

Norville, Lisa and Daphne Oz-co-founder of HealthCorp.org, Carol Alt and others.

The Fall issue of GLOW featured a section on Innovations in Women's Health including

advise from leaders at Columbia University/New York Presbyterian Medical for early

detection and treatment of Breast Cancer coincident with Breast Cancer Awareness

month, New Hope for Diagnosis and Treatment of Ovarian Cancer from  NIH Awardee,

Dr. David Fishman of Mt. Sinai as well as advise on "How to Find a Best Doctor" from

Dr. John Connolly of Castle Connolly Medical.  On the lighter side, readers were treated

to interviews with Lisa Oz on her book "US:Transforming Ourselves and the Relationships

That Matter Most" as well as NBC's Hoda Kotb on how she survived war zones, bad hair,

cancer and Kathie Lee!  Not to mention all the latest breakthroughs in advanced body

contouring, injectables updates, skin transformations, diet and exercise strategies,

smile miracles, fashion forecasts, and much more!

 

Strategic partners of GLOW BEAUTY Magazine include Quintessentially, the Luxury

Council, the Carlisle Collection, Clarins Skin Spa, Elizabeth Arden/Red Door Spas and others.

"The Wisdom Compass: Your 31 Day Journey to Wisdom Filled Living"

 

Through my association with The New York Rotary club- I meet terrific people and recently I had breakfast with Theo Henderson-- best selling author, Career advisor and Professional speaker.

His recent book- "The Wisdom Compass" is a true gem-- filled with substance, action and inspiration.

A snapshot of what you will find when you read it:

"Although the book of Proverbs has served as a compass and GPS for many Christians for centuries, some have found it difficult to apply those teachings to everyday life. This book’s rich supply of lessons on knowledge, judgment, prudence and spirituality can be uplifting, but intimidating to put into practice.  Theodore Henderson aims to change that situation, by providing a well thought-out plan for turning the wisdom of Proverbs into a tailored path for anyone who wants to walk it.

Drawing on his career as a seminar leader, entrepreneur, and consultant, Henderson presents a Bible-driven guide that’s organized somewhat like a business book, but with Christian direction instead of management strategies. He credits the Bible, and Proverbs especially, for changing his life, and he feels that others will benefit from that type of transformation as well. “The principles in this book have allowed me to marry the spiritual and the practical for an overall enhanced life and better everyday living,” he writes." 

 His well-articulated plan is a stellar starting point for anyone who wants to infuse more spiritual uplift into daily life.  www.thewisdomcompass.com

It is Never Too Early to "Be Prepared"--- and the Networking Opportunities It Brings

Today The Greater New York Councils, Boy Scouts of America had their 2011 Aviation luncheon for the 'Good Scout' award.

These events are always great where the honorees come from different industries throughout the year and are honored along with their business partners, clients and vendors.

A Scout also- is always one of the speakers---and they are also always terrific in that they know the "3 B's of Presenting"--

*Be Brilliant   *Be Brief and * Be Gone

Today was truly one of the best presentations I have ever heard in my years on the board of the Council.

Jared- a 10 year old boy scout (since he was 5)- captured the audience with his enthusiasm, passion and knowledge of his favorite industry--Aviation! He certainly knew his subject, had done his homework, congratulated the honorees and sponsors such as David Hess, Pres of Prat&Whitney and Dave Barger-CEO of JetBlue by name and had truly 'earned the right' to speak (as Dale Carnegie would say)

Not only was it hard to follow a speaker like Jared--- whose motto of the Boy Scouts is "Be Prepared", he also has some very good networking skills already working in his favor.

I watched him during lunch having conversations with everyone at the head table and also getting several business cards which he promptly gave to his Mother for safe keeping until he could go home and follow up.

It was noted in the other speeches-- that Jared will certainly not have any trouble getting a position in about ten or twelve years at a company in the field that he loves!!He is already meeting people in his industry of choice!

This is a true example of several leadership opportunities that one can establish at any age in life:

*Be prepared

*Opportunity is everywhere

*Think on your feet

*Speak with passion and enthusiasm

*Create and build strong alliances!!

 

Excellent program today and he is a young man I will truly want to follow as he creates the opportunities in his life!

How I found this Amazing Jewelry Designer

BLuzette jewels is the creation of Melissa Blue.

We met when I was in between flights and had a layover in Milwaukee and walked into the Frontier Airlines lounge.

Not only is Melissa a kind and giving person, I found out that she is an absolute amazing jewelry designer.  I found out because she was wearing her designs and as you can see from a few of the samples above-- they are unique, beautiful and have a healing aura to them.

I encourage you to visit her developing website www.bluzettejewels.com and to reach out to find out where you can learn more about her terrific creations!

A Powerhouse of a Brand!

 
Several years ago on a wonderful trip to Cuba, I met Miriam Ansell-- who is one of the top interior designers in the country and also one of the funniest and most charming people you would ever want to know. 

She has taken her passion, skill, talent and her own persona to really brand herself and what she does.

We were just talking about her recent press on some of the most amazing designs and homes she has created.

There is so much to say about the work and style of Miriam-- yet pictures certainly speak louder then words.

Visit her website which is http://www.miriamansellinteriors.com/ and I guarantee you will also marvel at her creations.

She is truly a woman who has created her Brand and keeps it fresh, changing and yet consistent!

In her own words, which are so very true!

"For thirty years, my goal has been to design interiors that reflect the wishes of my clients. I take great pride in the fact that I don't dictate to my clients; I listen to your vision and guide you so that when you walk into your home, it's where you want to be more than anywhere else in the world.

This is the mantra that drives every project I undertake. My portfolio contains a wide range of diverse styles, each the result of a spirited collaboration between designer and client. It shouldn't look like I was there,and it's important that what I do for one client looks nothing like what I do for another.

Working with clients in New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut and Bucks County, Pennsylvania, I have developed a reputation for achieving a sense of balance, beauty and harmony in my interiors. I specialize in simple solutions that give maximum impact. As I guide my clients through the design process, the goal is to seek out the very best solutions, no matter what the budget. I shop the world, from the showrooms of New York to places as far flung as Venice, Jerusalem, Hong Kong, Cambodia, India and Africa."
