<p><a href="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/P3_Power_Boost_Cover_2011_04_2in.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1527" title="P3_Power_Boost_Cover_2011_04_2in" src="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/P3_Power_Boost_Cover_2011_04_2in.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>It was a spring like day when I sat down with Ester Nicholson. I found her particularly fascinating because of her big gentle spirit and heart. Somehow I knew I&#8217;d discover more pearls of wisdom within Ester than I could imagine so I was thrilled to hear her story.</p>
<p>And I was right. Ester has graced the stage with many icons, like Rod Stewart, Bette Midler, Beyonce and others. She’s appeared on Oprah, Ellen Degeneres, The View, and The Tonight Show.</p>
<p>She’s no stranger to the music world. She comes from a family of songbirds. Her brothers and sisters have sang with great gospel legends, like Swan Silvertones ,  Highway QC and Shirley Ceaser.</p>
<p>Ester was born singing.  She even spoke of singing as the “trees” listened as her audience when she just a little girl.  Music is in her soul and it has taken her many places.<br />
However, I wouldn’t say Ester’s life has always been an easy one though. She accounts her days as a drug user and the addiction of that.</p>
<p>She speaks of Domestic Violence and losing her ability to sing after not singing for a very long time. I love what she describes about her past. She shares how her past was necessary. It was the preparation she needed to open her mind and heart to see a higher and greater purpose for her life.  Wow! How wonderful it is to see your greatness and how it developed from past experiences.</p>
<p>You’ll hear her describe the very day things took a turn that led her to 25 years of sobriety. She offers an understanding of how “being ready” to align “yourself” with the universe brings about unimaginable results.</p>
<p>She has accomplished a lot and experienced most dream of, yet her journey continues.</p>
<p>Ester has transformed from being a recording artist and performer into the larger purpose for which she was born &#8211; to offer practical steps to wholeness regardless of what your experience has been. She travels across the country facilitating workshops, speaking and creating inspirational music.</p>
<p>I can’t think of a better voice for freedom than Ester Nicholson. Sit back and enjoy my girl talk with her. Bring a pen and pad. You’ll find valuable gems for life in her story!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ester Nicholson            http://esternicholson.com</p>
<p>Ester Nicholson is a licensed spiritual practitioner and inspirational recording artist who brings her personal experience of 24 years of sobriety coupled with a committed practice of spiritual principle to audiences around the globe  &#8211; with riveting keynotes, soul nurturing music, transformative workshops and heart connecting retreats.</p>
<div id="attachment_1548" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Ester-and-Rod-Stewart.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1548" title="Ester and Rod Stewart" src="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Ester-and-Rod-Stewart-300x147.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="147" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ester performs with Rod Stewart</p></div>
<p>For the past 17 years, she has studied under Michael Beckwith, founder of Agape International and featured teacher of The Secret.  Ester has also been a licensed member of the Agape International Spiritual Practitioner Core for 11 years.  A gifted vocal artist, she has completed two world tours with Rod Stewart, Bette Midler and many others &#8211; in addition to appearing on such television shows as Oprah, The Tonight Show, The View, Good Morning America and the Ellen DeGeneres Show.</p>
<p>“Our community was so immensely moved by her performance that we continue to be asked about her return.  Ms. Nicholson has displayed a high degree of integrity, purpose, and faith. In addition to her excellent musical accomplishments, she has proven her ability to inspire people and reach out to the audience through her motivational talks and personal experience.  Ms. Nicholson would be a positive element to any event, and I am happy to give her my wholehearted endorsement.” &#8211; Bonnie Kleissle, MPH, CCPA, Administrative Director Blessing Hospital Cancer Program, Quincy, IL</p>
<p>Ester is currently facilitating workshops on Forgiveness, incorporating principles from Colin Tipping&#8217;s Radical Forgiveness and 12 Steps of Recovery, sourced from Prosperity teachers such as Eric Butterworth, John Randolph Price and Abraham. As a teacher, she illustrates through her own personal struggle &#8211; and ultimate transcendence &#8211; over erroneous beliefs in lack and limitation.  Nicholson shares, “It has become very clear to me that a false sense of identity and the ignorance of our true nature are the only true blockage to our good.  The more those false beliefs are dissolved through an unwavering commitment to ‘know the truth that sets us free,’ the more we break through the hypnotic suggestion of lack and finally experience the glory and magnificence of the universe.”</p>
<p>Ester&#8217;s personal struggles as a teenage mother, substance abuser, food addict, victim of domestic violence and her ultimate triumph over these adversities, place her in a unique and powerful position to relate to and inspire teens, youth and adult groups from all walks of life.</p>
<p>Whether she&#8217;s speaking and sharing her music with churches, The United Way, The Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority or helping teens at a Catholic School in Yuma, Ester provides high-value tools and technologies touching hearts and minds with her deep commitment to making a significant contribution to the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Angela Harper</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>Starbucks has become my office and my rent is paid in the form of a White Chocolate Mocha, hot chocolate or Vanilla Latte; depending on my mood. I was eager to interview our second P3 Jewel. I found a table, whipped out my notepad, took a few sips of  hot chocolate, and waited for her to arrive. Clad in sweats with her hair pulled back, she strolled through the door. It was my first time seeing her outside of her usual arena; the stage. I&#8217;m used to seeing her behind a keyboard, a guitar cradled in her arms, or dancing around with a microphone. Our dialogue was invigorating and by the end I had 5 pages worth of notes! She is a talented artist and it is my pleasure to introduce her to our P3 community!</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/P3-Jewel-Lizh.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1425" title="P3 Jewel Lizh" src="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/P3-Jewel-Lizh-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>A native of Queens, New York, 26 year old Elizabeth Herrera; better known as Lizh, is no stranger to music. As a toddler she called music, “fala,” as in “fa la la” from the Christmas tune, “Deck the Halls,” and loved the sounds playing from her dad’s record player. “Is that fala for Pipece?” she would ask. She was exposed to various genres; including the music of her Dominican heritage. By the time she was 8, Lizh, showed a strong interest in music. On her walks to the local market with her father, they’d pass a music store on Steinway St.  Lizh remembers, “I would press my hands and face against the glass and stare at the keyboards! One day we were walking as usual, but this time my dad took me inside and bought piano books and one of the keyboards for me; a Casio CTK100.” Lizh now calls this keyboard, Eddie.</p>
<p>Lizh (might I add the ‘h’ is silent) taught herself how to play the piano and was inspired by the late singer, Selena. “She [Selena] was magical; her stage presence was just magical. I wanted to emulate her.” Though she wanted to be a meteorologist, her natural passion of music could not be stifled. In high school she tried to take as many chorus and music classes as she could, but was only able to take the classes her schedule would allow. Lizh played Anita in front of an audience of almost 800 in her school’s production of, “West Side Story.” Her vocal solo of, “Someone to Watch Over Me,” during a chorus performance resulted in a roar from the audience as she paused for dramatic effects and belted out the notes. “I belonged there [on the stage],” Lizh recalls how she felt performing that number.</p>
<p>She studied music at Five Towns College, but with much encouragement to take a chance and pursue her passion she put college on hold. Lizh signed with a manager to jump start her music career, but due to creative differences on various issues, she felt it wasn’t the right direction for her. Though she was told that the age of 22 was too old to be a “star,” she continued on her journey. After several visits with friends in North Carolina she decided a change of scenery was due. Lizh left the hustle and bustle of New York and made the Old North State her new home.</p>
<p>Her passion and drive only grew stronger as she continued to study piano, sing, and write songs. “Olga was my first acoustic guitar,” Lizh says and she taught herself how to play. She later linked with drummer Eric Kelly, “We’d play anywhere,” Lizh explained, “gigs aren’t just to gain fans; they’re for networking.”  Along the way she’s also picked up an audio engineer, Scott Volthause of Black Rabbit Recording, a videographer, Dan Andrews, of Trickle Down Productions, and a host of fans; all have given her a sense of community. I first heard Lizh sing at Mansion 642 after a Words of Wisdom poetry open mic. Her voice and music was a sound I had never heard before. Throughout her songs any listener can tell that Lizh fuses together R&amp;B, Jazz, Reggae, Reggaeton, and Salsa to create a rhythmic sound that hooks an audience. She transitions from singing in English to Spanish so smoothly the languages seem to become one.</p>
<p>Playing the late gigs and working as a tax preparer have paid off for Lizh. She was able to purchase an electric acoustic guitar (Tameeka), an electric guitar (Mary; after the Jimmie Hendrix song, “The Wind Cries Mary”), and an 88 weighted key electric piano (Venny). With her instruments in tow she has entertained and awed many audiences!</p>
<p>There’s a saying that luck favors the prepared and being prepared is how Lizh met her current manager, O. She was buying tickets to attend the Carolina Music Awards when she met O, who is also the producer. Casual conversation led to him asking if she had a CD. “I always have CDs on me,” she laughed, “so I handed him one and he says, ‘Hopefully this doesn’t suck!’” O was impressed with Lizh and wanted to sign her to his label, O Records. Definitely someone who walks her own path and is a unique individual she wanted to make sure O Records didn’t want to change her, “I’ll do it on my own if I can’t find a label that accepts me or wants to change me. I don’t want to be used as an avatar to further someone else’s ideas.” O Records was the label that wanted Lizh just as she is.</p>
<p>Though it seems like a dream come true and a walk in the park, the music industry is littered with tempting offers. These offers of money, fame, and larger gigs often come with the price of self-sacrifice. The vision O Records has for Lizh and the one she has for herself doesn’t align with the mainstream ideal that in order for a woman to be successful in the mainstream music arena she must be scantily-clad, dimwitted, and spouting out lyrical garbage. Lizh feels, “If I can show my parents, I can show the world. My parents accept me for who I am.” She admits to experimenting with a sexier mainstream look, but quickly returned to her style, “You have to own yourself and be comfortable. Own your womanhood; it’s not about being anti-men. It’s about highlighting what makes you as a woman beautiful.” This ownership of self is what makes Lizh standout amongst others. She puts her true self into her songs and performances, “The more of yourself you put into anything the more beautiful it is. Beauty is not what the industry says.” It is not shocking to see Lizh barefoot on stage or coming into the audience to talk with a fan. Lizh has created a magnetic force with her unique style and self confidence.</p>
<p>Her lyrics reflect her experiences, intelligence, and outlook on life. The sensual rhythm of “Succubus,” laced with lyrics mocking the double standard that a woman can’t be intelligent and sexy is one example of how Lizh crafts each of her songs. “Music is the universal language; watch what you say and be ready to stand up for yourself. Lyrics should have continuity and a storyline,” she states. Lizh’s other songs stimulate audiences musically and intellectually. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yqrD8nHpgQ&amp;tracker=False">“Alone Together,”</a> is a tale of how two lovers can be together yet still be alone; her voice cries the pain that this situation would cause anyone. One of Lizh’s new songs, “Bent,” has swiftly become a favorite of mine. The lyrics reflect a friendship that is not yet broken, it’s as the title suggests…bent.</p>
<p>A talented singer, songwriter, producer, and musician Lizh made quite a name for herself through her performances in North Carolina and New York. The hard work of this young woman has not gone unnoticed. Long gone are the days of sending fan mail or having to wait for a live performance to reach out to fans. Lizh uses Facebook, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/lizhmusic">YouTube</a>, and <a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/lizh">Reverb Nation </a>as platforms to connect with her fans and network. “It’s amazing and humbling to be tagged in a post on Facebook by a fan who is quoting one of my song lyrics!” With the anticipated release of her CD, Lizh admits she has some reservations of the immense exposure she will receive. “I’m most afraid of losing my privacy; being the CENTER of attention. I don’t mind if the paparazzi are taking my picture, it’s the intrusion of privacy that bothers me. We are in a time in which people with any type of celebrity status are being hounded and every media outlet is hunting them. Why be so worried about what others are doing? What do you truly value? Every minute is so precious, why spend your life prying into someone else’s? I don’t want to be a tabloid meal. I don’t want people to be hungry for me in the tabloids, no, be hungry for me on the stage.”</p>
<p>Artists live in two worlds; a prime example of W.E.B. Dubois’ Theory of Double Consciousness. Lizh has found balance between having to work a mainstream job and be a, “weekend warrior.” She also knows firsthand that the notion of chasing musical career dream isn’t a fantasy. Her uncle on her mother’s side took care of his siblings and mother from the money he made as a musician. “Though my family is full of professionals, they were taken care of by a musician; there is validity in the art of music!” Because of her hard work, dedication, and aligning herself with true supporters, she was offered a marketing and distribution deal from Concrete Publishing; distributors for Pink, Kanye West, and others. The deal compliments the vision she and O Records have for her. “My dad says to me, ‘You kidding’ when I told him about the deal with Concrete Publishing. My mom, my biggest cheerleader, was also very excited and happy for me.”</p>
<p>All her work prior to signing with O Records and sealing the deal with Concrete Publishing was the construction of her roller coaster ride. Now she is ready to take it for a spin. It’s not going to be easy and Lizh is aware of that, however, “there is no Plan B; this is it. This is who I am. I can’t imagine not being a performer. If I don’t do it I feel like something is wrong.” Everyday Lizh does something artistic. She spoke of her joy of painting, writing songs, writing poetry, performing, and playing instruments. Not only does she write songs for herself, she writes for others. Currently she is working on a song for Oceania.org .</p>
<p>The journey to being a successful singer is not traveled on a direct path. Anyone traveling this road must own themselves. As Lizh told me, “You decided who you want to give yourself to and what aspects of yourself they will get.” This self ownership puts you in the control seat and allows you to direct your journey. There will be hardships and temptations. There will be those days of physical and artistic fatigue, but, “If your creative well is drained refill it; watch a good movie, read a book, go dancing, attend another artists’ show. It’s okay to step away from your project to replenish yourself. Don’t let your creative spirit die. Your spirit will get tired, but don’t let it die.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Breakthrough Solutions- Break Through Break Free &#8211; By Lisa Thomas with Eleanor LeCain</p>
<p><a href="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/P3_Power_Boost_Cover_2011_02_2in1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1342" title="P3_Power_Boost_Cover_2011_02_2in" src="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/P3_Power_Boost_Cover_2011_02_2in1.jpg" alt="Corrected and published photo - Featured Pearl - 02 -Eleanor LeCain" width="200" height="300" /></a>It was a cold winter day when I had the chance to sit and talk with P3 Pearl Eleanor LeCain.</p>
<p>I felt a kindred spirit in Eleanor as I listened to her passion for others. She is one of the world’s most precious gems in my book. I was particularly intrigued by the quiet presence she exuded and couldn’t wait to hear her story and how she came upon writing the book &#8211; Breakthrough Solutions.</p>
<p>Eleanor is celebrating her 25th anniversary this month so her vision of “love made visible” seemed befitting for the month of February, our month of love.  Little did I know Eleanor&#8217;s purpose for life and the foundation for her book is the same.  Wow, can you see why I was intrigued?  Eleanor says “by coming from a place of love, we create exceptional solutions in relationships, education, prosperity and more”.</p>
<p>During this candid talk with her I learned a few things myself but what struck me most was how she described breakdowns paving the way for breakthrough, for you and for our society.</p>
<p>Eleanor’s story is one we all can relate to; mother, wife, community leader, speaker and business woman. Multiple roles with one big vision. How does one create it all and have it work? Take a few moments and get an inside peek into an amazing woman’s journey of breakthroughs through breakdowns and how she has manifested some of the greatest of solutions for all parts of life.</p>
<p>Hear her share two of her favorite quotes, best advice for women wanting more for themselves and the most important thing to keep alive when life throws you a curve ball you don’t expect.</p>
<p>Inevitably when you &#8220;Break Through, You Break Free&#8221; and Eleanor is the epitome of that mantra!</p>
<p>Enjoy….</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NATIONAL PRESIDENT OF GIRL SCOUTS OF AMERICA, A SERVING LEADER</p>
<p>BY Lauren Wilder</p>
<p>“To whom much is given, much is required,” Connie Lindsey’s motto, national president of Girl Scouts of America (GSA).</p>
<p>This the motto Lindsey lives by and it ties deeply into her presidency, but when one thinks of a leader words like “guidance” and “respect” come to mind.  What about “service?”</p>
<p>She describes herself as a “servant leader,” whose focus is serving in all aspects through philanthropy and business; it becomes a way of life.  In 2008, she was selected for a 3-year term from her membership on the national board since 2005.</p>
<p>Hailing from Milwaukee where she began her membership in her church at age 11, the idea of service was instilled in her long before adorning herself in the famous green uniform.  It was Lindsey’s mother who affirmed the idea to “invest in herself” which planted a seed in her to strive for excellence.</p>
<p>Her service within her church made for a smooth transition into the troupe which was started by a member of the congregation, but there are sometimes reservations:</p>
<p>“The moment that I realized that while I may not have had the economic upbringing that certain other individuals might have when I joined Girls Scouts I realized that my zip code didn’t determine my worth.</p>
<p>Net worth is not the same as self worth and so becoming a Girl Scout I became a part of a circle of friends that didn’t look at what I wore or where I lived that determined my value. What that did was help me develop a since of confidence and a sense of compassion.”</p>
<p>“Core value of building girls with courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place, we do that with a leadership platform,” Lindsey who is evidence of the platform.</p>
<p>As president she’s had the opportunity to take a group of Girl Scouts to meet First Lady Michelle Obama who is also the national honorary president of GSA.  The organization’s members consist of all female astronauts and many government leaders.</p>
<p>Lindsey’s goals seem endless, but one thing stands out and that’s to encourage participation from adults to act as leaders for the growing programs.</p>
<p>Her occupation even ties her into the community in her position as head of corporate social responsibility at Northern Trust Bank in Chicago, a company who gave $13 million last year to charter and philanthropic organizations.</p>
<p>In working in three of the business units here has allowed her to grow professionally, according to Lindsey, and has expanded her reach for because of her value of service.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/P3_Power_Boost_Cover_2010_09_2in.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-942" title="P3_Power_Boost_Cover_2010_09_2in" src="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/P3_Power_Boost_Cover_2010_09_2in.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>By Lisa Thomas</p>
<p>It was a bright sunny morning when I spoke with this dynamic P3 Pearl. I was awe struck with her presence. She&#8217;s such a soft spoken young woman with a passion that exudes from her inner core. When introduced I wasn&#8217;t surprised to find a fascinating story in Anna Levesque. I knew her triumph would offer women inner strength and courage like none other.</p>
<p>During our time together Anna chronicles her life as a woman who found her passion and pursued it in spite of a few naysayers. She speaks of the pressure from those closest to her to find something more meaningful or more real. Many doubted her abilities but Anna paddled against the current of all of those who did not believe. She discovered that more meaning lies in her truth than anything else.  </p>
<p>Anna is an avid Kayaker and has made it her mission to empower women to build courage, confidence and strength through Kayaking classes and workshops.  While she loves the sport, it hasn&#8217;t come without challenge. Kayaking is a male dominated sport and considered an extreme sport. However Anna saw it as an opportunity to find her truest most authentic voice.</p>
<p>During my time with Anna, she shared the moment she embraced her femininity in a male dominated world. She honored who she is and in the process transformed lives.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m excited you&#8217;ll listen in on this candid interview with Anna Levesque. Anna&#8217;s life  seems to be an experience of paddling against the current with extreme rewards and pleasures. How fun! What would life be like if  &#8220;you&#8221; chose to go against the current for a change?!?</p>
<p>Prepare to be inspired, to learn the lessons of being true to who you are no matter what and how bringing your faith into alignment with your desires produces extraordinary results.</p>
<p>Anna shares what she knows for sure, two favorite quotes and the best advice for all women pursuing their passion. Enjoy !</p>
