One day at a time

Just take it one day at a time? You have heard the saying a million times but now Valerie Bertinelli shows us how to really make each day count! After a public divorce from rocker Eddie Van Halen a whopping weight gain to 172lbs (she is 5'2") - Valerie got her life back on track with the help of Jenny Craig and relentless determination.

Now at age 48, Valerie gets to show off the results of her hard work on the cover of People Magazine, wearing a bikini. What a fabulous success story. It shows us all that we can grow and shrink and rethink our images, that it is never too late and that daily persistence does pay off!

I actually got a chance to meet Valerie at NYC Fashion Week this February and she is a gloriously bright person with a heart as genuine as her Touched by an Angel TV character. The bit of advice she gave me about keeping up momentum was to have mini goals and drink plenty of water. I say cheers to that Valerie. And salud to everyone's health! Stick with your goals. Every day, every moment adds up.

Talk the talk!

If you want a Friends advice - take note of what Jennifer Aniston is up to. After countless tabloids claiming that she NEEDS a baby & several hinting that she already has one on the way! - Jen has decided to do something about her alleged need to be close to children.

Teaming up with her Dad, John, Jen will narrate a series of children's books for charity

and proceeds will go to St. Jude's Children’s Research Hospital.

The book, entitled Good Deeds by Nick Katsoris' Loukoumi is the third book of a series in which Loukoumi and her friends make a huge difference in the lives of those around them.

What a great idea for a series. AND what a cool way for Jen to place herself in a positive spotlight. She needs that after all the media attention for her breakups!

Visualizing your goals and placing yourself in a surrounding that is filled with positive vibes CAN help a person reach their dreams quicker. I believe this completely! Jen is being The Good Girl by getting involved with this project (especially with her Dad!) - may it get her closer to her personal life goals, whatever they really are. Cheers!
