GoodLife: Peninsula Style, Issue 40, Page 049 (transcription)

Spinning Gracefully Hi my name is Davina and I am the proud owner of Pole Divas in Mornington.
I opened the studio 5 years ago at the age of 23 after starting Pole Dancing as a form of fitness 6 months before hand.
I fell in love with the exciting new way of staying fit but was travelling over an hour to the city to participate in classes It then occurred to me Why should the women of the Peninsula miss out on such an exciting and empowering way to exercise That s when I decided to open the first Pole Divas franchise in Mornington.
I think what has made it successful is the feeling we give females when they come through the doors.
My staff and I understand that it can be quite nerve racking but we also started out the same way as them so we understand and do our best to make them feel as comfortable as possible.
It is also a sexy fun way to exercise.
I enjoy watching females of all ages, shapes and sizes walking out the doors with a smile from ear to ear knowing that they actually have spun gracefully around a pole or hung upside down with ease and talent and at the same time worked muscles they never thought possible.
All while wearing a pair of high heels Pole Divas Mornington www.poledivas.com.au I would love to invite you all down to our Open Day to celebrate our 5th Birthday on Saturday 25th June for FREE CLASSES.
- Davina With Time, Brings Change Many Women find themselves at a crossroad in life when they least expect it.
This can come in the form of a major life transition.
Some transitions may be good and some may not be so welcome.
Not only can they bring emotional issue but financial ones as well.
Are you a woman in transition Are you facing new life challenges Are you recently single Either through death or divorce.
Are you about to be married or thinking of starting a domestic partnership Have you retired or maybe thinking of cutting back from full time to part time work Are you re-entering the workforce after taking time off to raise the children Have you been diagnosed or are you dealing with illness If you answer Yes to any of the above, then you may be a woman in transition and your financial needs could be changing Impulsive decisions like purchasing expensive vacations or gifts, hastily buying or selling major assets like your home, business or shares can leave you with major regrets, tax liabilities, and a diminished net worth for years to come.
- Stop and allow yourself the TIME to decide what s right for you.
Defer all but essential decisions for a year.
Seek professional financial advice on what decisions simply cannot be deferred but in general take the time to work your way through this life transition - Buy flexibility.
Now is not the time to commit all your cash to long-term investments or pay off your mortgage.
Your needs may be quite different in a year so your goal now should be to preserve options for your suddenly changed lifestyle.
