Take the Rose Instead!
Class is filled!
Check back for more on line courses in late fall!
"Wow Mikell!!! I took part in your program 2 years ago and that was life changing. I didn't think "Take the Rose Instead" could get any better... But tonight, despite the teleconference glitches, you shared so much valuable information that I can't wait to tell more friends about next week's call! Your sessions are life changers!!! Can't wait to begin the 8 week course. When I think of all the money I have spent on diet programs, this is a much more positive, loving approach. You, and your calls, are a loving gift to me..."

finally love yourself and realize that you deserve the very best!
"The mind creates the body." Sojourner Truth
I created the Take the Rose Instead years ago when a friend asked me why I didn't seem to have any problem with weight. I started thinking about a few of the things that have been helpful and began to compile them. In the spring of 2011 I created an ebook and a tele-class that described some of the basic concepts that have worked for me. Since then I have worked one on one with clients. In an effort to reach more people, I"m offering a free Take the Rose Instead tele-course to explain the basic concepts.
The title of the course, Take the Rose Instead, comes from selecting a rose as a reminder to make choices that will be truly beneficial. I'm not talking about those 'devil over the shoulder' messages - "Oh, you 'deserve that ice cream. You've had a rough day - or "you should celebrate - it's been wonderful day" - or what ever sabotaging subliminal messages that crop up! I'm talking about choices that add true value.
All my life I've watched the media manipulate and undermine (women especially) by making us feel we are not good enough - too fat, too thin, too young, too old -whatever they can do to cause us to spend money on the next quick fix that doesn't work. It is not until we begin to see ourselves as healthy and beautiful, that we will move toward healthy, beautiful choices.
I’ve created an approach that combines creativity, beauty, and self-love to lead us to make wise decisions. Since I started using this approach, I haven't worn anything larger than a size 4. It works! And you will save money as you learn to believe in your own beauty, rather than putting more money into diet solutions that don't work.

Take the Rose Instead Poster
The program gets its name from my very simple method that started it all:
when you go grocery shopping, carrying a beautiful rose will remind you to choose your own beauty and vitality rather than junk food. This is just one of thirty beautiful weight-loss tools cradled within the petals of the Take the Rose Map (right), which I painted to serve as a beautiful guide for all the new choices you will make in your journey….one lovely petal at a time. |

If you feel that "Take the Rose Instead" would be beneficial, and you decide that you would like to apply to be considered for the course, you can return the application (you'll receive it with complete instructions following free introductory session) no later than August 15, 2014.
I am keeping the group small so if you are interested, please fill out and return your application promptly!
The cost of the eight week Take the Rose Instead package is $299.
You will not be asked to make a payment until your application has been reviewed and you are accepted into the program.
Those who are accepted into the course will be notified and I will send you the Mikell's Hidden Treasures Styles eBook so you can complete an assessment. I'm including this for two reasons:
1. I've found a correlation between the Hidden Treasure Styles and metabolic rates, and think you will find the information valuable.
2. I have a theory that the style who has the most love to give everyone else is most likely to make unhealthy choices for herself. I'm interested in collecting further research to see if my hunch is correct.

Accolades!!!
Mikell's "Take the Rose" was such a wonderful springboard for starting a new way of life. Mikell's program laid a strong foundation that helped me lose 20 pounds. Through her citrus cleanse, decorating my refrigerator, and "take the rose" grocery store support, her disposition is so loving and accepting, which strengthened my enthusiasm and commitment to losing weight.

"This weekend, I noticed a change in me. There is a subtle but distinct change in some of the food I am not willing to ingest. My mind kept being tempted to eat them but my body did not want to eat them because I am sick of how badly they make me feel. I was kind of surprised that I didn't give in. I woke up this morning with mysterious happiness and did 30 minutes of exercise. I also gave myself slow time to think about what it is that I need in life."
