Community Involvement 2006
Andrea recognizes the importance of giving, whether it’s through charitable work, networking or helping others. She does this through her non-profit work at places such as Graceful Stitches and International Coach Federation of New England, where she is a Past President. She enjoys inviting others to participate in her giving programs - sharing the opportunity to see what is possible through involvement. Andrea organizes Pounce on a Project - a monthly call to action for people to take on that special project that never seems to get done. Building relationships between and among people is one of Andrea’s values that she clearly honors. Here are some of the activities she is currently involved in:

Memorial Day is this Weekend
Memorial Day is much more than a three-day weekend that marks the beginning of summer. To many people, especially the nation’s thousands of combat veterans, this day, which has a history stretching back all the way to the Civil War, is an important reminder of those who died in the service of their country. Honor them this day by taking time out for a thought, a prayer, a ritual. Keep the real meaning in this day while you celebrate with family and friends.

Simple Habits That Transform Workshop Series
May 15, 22; June 5, 12, 19—Monday evenings, 6:45-9:00
June 26 and July 10: Teleconference Support Meetings: 7 – 8 PM
Marion Freiberg, Andrea Novakowski, and Sandy Davis
Have you read the books and attended the workshops—but not gotten any “traction” yet? Are you ready now to finally transform your daily life by taking action? If so, join Coach Andrea and two other certified coaches for the 9-week “Simple Habits That Transform” workshop series. You, and a supportive community of like-minded folks, will experience and put into practice three of the most powerful daily habits you can do to revitalize your body, mind and spirit. Come to learn, play, and do. Work together to remove the roadblocks. Build a plan that fits where you want to go and what you want to become. Put yourself at the center of your life by incorporating these powerful new habits while supported by experienced coaches.
Even when we know what works to re-energize and renew ourselves, we may hesitate to act for any number of reasons. “No time”, “I’ll do it later”, “I don’t know how”, “I’m not the type”, “I’m too old”, etc. Come together with experienced coaches and an enthusiastic group to break through your limiting beliefs and move into action. In this workshop, you will learn simple new skills that can powerfully shift your energy level, expand your enjoyment of life, and increase your ability to deal with its ups and downs. You will explore and expand your creativity, your resilience, your health, and your energy.
This course spans 9 weeks so that you have time to incorporate these skills into your daily life, and enable them to really take root.
To ensure you get enough attention, this interactive and energizing course is led by three experienced, certified coaches: Marion Freiberg, Andrea Novakowski and Sandy Davis.
This workshop begins May 15th from 6:45 to 9:00 PM at Unity Church in Amesbury, MA, $150 fee. Limited to the first 20 who register. To reserve your place or learn more, call Andrea at 508-231-0766 or e-mail ‘) //–>.
