DOMINIC PETRILLO ~ Visual/Digital Artist, Designer, Teacher
http://www.dominicpetrillo.com
Dom is a wonderful visual & graphics artist who does a lot of commissioned as well as personal work. He’s also a teacher and friend I've worked with a number of times. An alchemist & Merlin-type, he has a "sideline" uncanny expertise in astrology and Tarot and is available for readings by referral. Bonus: unlike many of us artist-types, he's also diligent, methodical, on-time and a neat-freak! I'd recommend him for anything, especially someone to hang out with in an apocalypse -- he's a regular MacGyver for creative solutions to just about anything! Watch for new e-cards with Dominic’s paintings coming up soon!

Great Shops
HUDSON VALLEY OUTFITTERS -Cold Spring, NY

Owner Teri Barr is a great friend with this wonderful kayaking, outdoor gear & clothing store just a couple blocks from the Hudson River. She has a sharp acumen as a buyer with an understanding of her clientele that translates to her inventory, her staff and the way she does business. I've noticed over the years that the things I buy from her shop are the things I wear the most and that last the longest. An active community supporter, Teri is involved in a lot of Hudson River awareness-building and green activities.

AMY ZACHARY, LSCW, MA ~ Therapist, Interventionist & Life Coach
www.alcoholismanddrugs.com / amyzachary@optonline.net / 917-327-6237
The way I work: I believe that any therapeutic relationship is collaborative. Ideally, conversations should invite curiosity and inquiry about personal issues and predicaments, generating new meaning and ideas which can be applied to the issues at hand. For those who are interested, I have recently begun using the Tarot in my work with clients, which is a fascinating means to access and interpret a personal dilemma. My areas of expertise include: couples and families, anxiety and depression, substance abuse and recovery issues, and just your plain old garden variety of life-changing challenges which at one time or another we all face.

Art is composer for the music that accompanies all the Milestones Connect E-Cards. He has had a versatile career as a composer, performer and record producer in mainstream and cutting edge music, television, feature films and documentaries, as well as theater and advertising. His many accomplishments in pop/rock, folk and blues, classical, jazz, Latin and old time gospel has made of him an encyclopedia of musical styles and performance. In addition to composing the music for numerous documentaries by Barbara Walters and others, he also scored Hillary Clinton’s Grammy-winning film “It Takes a Village” and the 2007 film about soldiers in Iraq, “Jerabek,” featured at the Tribeca Film Festival. While his first instrument is the piano, he is also a performing player with the dobro, pedal steel and accordion. Art’s passionate, poignant sense of melody and his innate feel for the important spaces between the notes is beautifully showcased in his CD “Winter’s Day.”

SANDI KIMMEL ~ Singer-songwriter specializing in Healing Arts
http://www.sandikimmel.com
Sandi is a “singer-songwriter, music healer and inspirational speaker who weaves ancient wisdom, positive messages and sing-out-loud songs for anyone on…or near their spiritual path.” Philip F. Harris, author, nationally syndicated writer, talk show host and publisher of ALL THINGS THAT MATTER, said of her new CD, “Reach Up” is nothing less than a self-growth extravaganza for the ears…with lyrics that speak to the truth of our being…for times that are getting people down...and [to help] polarize your thoughts towards a happy and positive life.” Sandi and her photographer husband Patrick Murphy work through their company, Sterling Heart Music, to offer spirituality and music healing programs, artistic products and services.
CECILIE RINDOM ~ Singer-Songwriter, Collage Artist, Actress
http://cecilierindom.com
Cecilie is a fledgling Danish singer-songwriter-artist-actress just unfolding her wings in American skies. Her pure-voiced songs and poems are as lilting and provocative as her presence – and ditto for her collage art!
KERRY-FLEUR SCHLEIFFER ~ Music Performance Artist, Painter
http://kerryfleur.com
Kerry is one of the most unusual performance artists around! Interweaving versatile elements of her riveting voice with rhythm devices, piano, dancing and painting, she composes her “song-paintings” while she performs them in front of an audience. She is breathtaking to watch! A native of London, England with some childhood roots in New York and California, she has been venturing back into the U.S. lately to give us a peek at what she does, and to also explore how to mingle her many talents with therapeutic modalities for healing and service. Watch out for her over the next couple of years!

SASKIA SHAKIN ~ Author, Speaker, Public Speaking Coach
www.thekeynotecoach.com
We highly recommend Saskia's new book, More than Words Can Say ~ The Making of Inspired Speakers. This is a fantastic book -- not only about public speaking for CEO's, experts, workshop leaders, teachers, life coaches, etc. -- but a veritable guide for living. Her encouragement to seek first significance and allow success to follow -- in its own perfect timing -- brings us back to the heart and what really matters about what we do. Saskia is one of those deeply sentient beings who exudes the positive energies that her work offers. A truly lovely and spiritually-awake woman.
