Aug 10, 2015 - Today Irina Baker gave us a presentation related to "Don't Blame a Mirror for Your Ugly Face". She told us her history - beginning in Russia then immigrating to Orlando in 1995. She found the adjustment difficult but learned how to bring her physical and spiritual selves into balance.  She recommends that individuals must accept the physical and spiritual aspects of themselves and learn how to value themselves.  She advised us that we have the choice of either ignoring or following our dreams.  She has published several books and consults with organizations and individuals to help them achieve success on multiple levels.  Visit her website for more information.
