How many times have you said
to yourself, I can't do that, I don't have the right look or
I am just not good enough? For some of us, maybe
that's what we were told as a child. Maybe that's what you
are still hearing. Well, we've been there and we want you to
know the truth. You are good enough and your dreams and
heart's desires are within your reach. Join Sisters U on
June 30, 2011 for a night of inspiration and listen and be
challenged as Stephen Brown shares his own personal story of
how he changed his image from the inside out. And right
after that, our very own Heather McCloskey of Sisters
U and McCloskey Partners will share her heartfelt and
inspiring story. She will motivate us all to embrace our
authentic selves and to recognize and stop self sabotage.
Heather will help us envision our goals and walk us through
a process to help us find what it is that is remarkable of
us. Heather will help us define our Purple Cow and help us
