Truth to Triumph: A Spiritual Guide to Finding Your Truth<br />
By Lily Sanders </p>
<p>When Life’s Hard Knocks Make You Feel Beaten, Take Heart from Lily<br />
Sanders, Whose Conquest over Abuse and Hardship Led to<br />
Enlightened Self-Knowledge and Real Self-Love </p>
<p>Today, Lily Sanders can point to extraordinary the successes of being named one of the top 15 coaching experts in New York City, years as a soap opera regular and TV/movie dancer and actress, multiple-franchise owner, devoted mother and even a year as a featured Barnum &#038; Bailey Circus show dancer!  </p>
<p>But it was the lowlights, not the highlights that have defined and refined her. </p>
<p>Looking at it objectively, Lily’s life sounds like a sad country song. Its refrain began early when she was very young, living with a depressed frightened mother, three siblings and an abusive father, who made life a living hell for the children and wife who helplessly watched. Lily endured until relief came when he departed, but that left her to be the adult to her childlike mother. It was through dance that she first found her footing. Passionately engaged, she could forget about everything else and just dance! </p>
<p>And that was her ticket away from home for the first time, going on the road with the circus, learning tough lessons and standing on her own. Eventually, she pursued the life of a professional dancer, auditioning and getting TV, movie and theatre opportunities that blossomed ultimately into success as an actress. And then further success in business. </p>
<p>But it was her private life that proved to be her real crucible.<br />
Repeatedly aligning herself with damaged men, she found herself once again emotionally and physically abused. And then in a life-long custody wrangle with her ex-husband over her beloved son. But she knew she had to break the pattern. So she started with herself. </p>
<p>Truth to Triumph: A Spiritual Guide to Finding Your Truth is the story of how she found her truth, how she forged a new relationship with her higher self and the Divine to be a beacon of love for those to follow. Her book is far more than a chronicle of her life and her transformation…it is filled with guidance, wisdom and advice for anyone who is struggling to find their way, to find peace, love, contentment and prosperity. </p>
<p>It is steeped in insights, hard truths, gentle encouragement, inspiration, spiritual doorways, darkness-defeating honesty and authenticity. Lily wants to lift up her sisters so they may never have to just endure – they can thrive! </p>
<p>Today, having a highly successful coaching practice in New York, and being a sought after TV and radio guest, speaker and workshop leader, Lily Sanders is transforming the lives and hearts of men, woman, and children across the nation.  </p>
<p>Lily can illuminate for you: </p>
<p>•	What to do when you’re willing to face the truth about your life, or the abusers around you<br />
•	The keys to love yourself unconditionally<br />
•	How to let go of self-blame<br />
•	The way to release the past and break the mold for new generational blessings<br />
•	How to begin forging a new relationship with yourself and the spiritual force that empowers you </p>
<p>Lily Sanders brings forth powerful messages encoded in Truth to Triumph: A Spiritual Guide to Finding Your Truth to give women the path to a life worth living. The paperback book is available from Amazon for $19.95 and the Kindle is $17.95.  </p>

<p>Lily Sanders<br />
Biography </p>
<p>Lily Sanders’ life experiences, adversity, talent, sense of humor, and intense compassion has gifted her a purpose to write, influence, and coach others. As a magazine columnist, Lily inspired thousands while writing her own powerful book, Truth to Triumph. Her newly international released book, Truth to Triumph: A Spiritual Guide to Finding Your Truth has already begun transforming lives. </p>
<p>Lily grew up in a domestically violent home, and used ballet class as her sanctuary. Performing and producing was her dream since she was a young child. She later went on as a professional dancer and landed interesting gigs as a dance contestant on Ed McMahon’s Star<br />
Search, and a Showgirl/Dancer on Ringling Bros Barnum &#038; Bailey Circus.  She continued onto a promising acting career and won various Off Broadway roles and a day player role on ABC’s One Life to Live. </p>
<p>Years later, she married, had a beautiful child and became a highly successful entrepreneur in the franchise world. Sadly, Lily suffered<br />
behind a veil of silence for 14 years, as she found herself back in a  domestically violent home as a battered wife. The good news is that the lessons she learned and the awakening she experienced transformed her into the inspirational, insightful, and thought-provoking author, speaker, and coach that she is today. </p>
<p>Lily specializes in transition, giving spiritual and practical guidance through her books, speaking engagements and coaching. She helps others see through adverse life situations and gain healing, clarity, and focus on their soul purpose. No matter what someone’s story is, Lily is not about holding onto stories. Rather she teaches others how to stop seeing themselves as a victim and instead, learn how to use these experiences to become an empowered expression of love and truth. Teaching others how to hold onto that love and truth while navigating through life situations is what she mirrors and masters. </p>
<p>Lily invites us to unlock the magic within, and awaken our dormant potential. She believes that we all have the power to choose the creations we wish to experience. Her personal transformation has proven it, and she continues to teach others how to unlock it, and walk a path of knowing one present step at a time.<br />
No matter how accomplished we are or how complete we feel in a relationship, Lily suggests that we all have areas in our life that can use enhancement. Sometimes it can be a matter of your health, asking us to examine if our physical and mental energy level is the best it can be. </p>
<p>Perhaps we are challenged with counter-balancing our career with our loved ones. She poses the curious question: “Is your career guided by your purpose?” </p>
<p>On a spiritual level, Lily encourages self-inquiry. “Who am I?” And in that self-inquiry, “Am I doing things that serve my highest Self? Am I fully aware of consciousness at soul level as it plays out in the physical world?” She uses these self-inquiries as tools to help us transform. </p>
<p>That said, her passion is for humanity, and she thrives on helping others transform. Her purpose is to become a light for others that burns up the nonsense in life. Her message is love. </p>
<p>Amazed at life&#8217;s interesting crossroads, with gratitude and enthusiasm, Lily Sanders engages in global opportunities, and advancing collective consciousness.

<p>“Love is the essence of all consciousness.  Love is the stimulus for everything in life.  It is the yeast that<br />
develops and gives rise to our daily bread.”<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Louis Armstrong House Museum and the Museum of the Moving Image join forces and celebrate the 50<sup>th</sup> anniversary.</strong>
</div>
<div>On Saturday, May 10<sup>th</sup>, 2014 the Louis Armstrong House Museum and the Museum of the Moving Image will host a dessert reception and special screening of the beloved film musical <em>Hello, Dolly!</em> in honor of Ambassador Satch knocking the Fab Four off Billboards’ #1 spot at the height of Beatlemania.</p>
<p>In December 1963, Pops was selling out concerts worldwide and appearing on television, but he hadn&#8217;t stepped into a recording studio in two years. That changed on December 3, 1963 when he recorded the title song of a Broadway musical that hadn&#8217;t even opened yet,<em>Hello, Dolly!</em> Armstrong agreed to record it as a favor to his manager Joe Glaser, who was close to some people involved in the show. According to Glaser, five record companies turned him down before Kapp Records agreed to record it. Armstrong didn&#8217;t think much of it, complaining during the session, &#8220;You mean to tell me you called me out here to do this?&#8221; They recorded it but everyone there was much more excited about the other tune recorded that day, &#8220;A Lot of Livin&#8217; to Do,&#8221; from <em>Bye Bye Birdie</em>.</p>
<p>When Louis and the All Stars were done, session producer Mickey Kapp realized the tune needed a little extra oomph. He called for banjoist Tony Gottuso to come to the studio and overdub an introduction. Once that was done, Kapp added a near-discrete layer of strings in the background. Louis left the studio and continued his grueling life of one-nighters, ending up in San Juan, Puerto Rico and Bermuda before the year was up.</p>
<p>After <em>Hello, Dolly!</em> opened on Broadway, Kapp released Louis&#8217;s single. Surprisingly, it landed on the charts. However, Louis and the All Stars had no recollection of the song itself. After hearing people shout for &#8220;Hello, Dolly!&#8221; at a live show, Louis finally turned to bassist Arvell Shaw and asked, &#8220;What the hell is &#8216;Hello, Dolly!&#8217;?&#8221; The band had to get a copy of their own recording of the tune to learn it again and performed it in the show; the result was pandemonium.</p>
<p>Armstrong&#8217;s “Hello, Dolly!” hit number fifteen on the charts in March 1964, which is when he started performing it on TV, first doing an impromptu version on <em>What&#8217;s My Line </em>and then a more formal version on <em>The Hollywood Palace</em>.  The four lads from Liverpool invaded America earlier January 1964, boosted by a sensational appearance on <em>The Ed Sullivan Show</em> in February. Their &#8220;I Want to Hold Your Hand&#8221; had been the number-one song in America for seven weeks; it was supplanted by &#8220;She Loves You&#8221; for two; and then followed by &#8220;Can&#8217;t Buy Me Love&#8221; in the number one spot.</p>
<p>But in the middle of this seemingly unstoppable stretch, 14 weeks, the Beatles were finally knocked off the top of the charts on May 9 by the nearly 63-year-old trumpeter.  It was a miracle of sorts and to this day, Louis remains the oldest artist to attain a number one pop hit. The Beatles reclaimed the throne shortly after but &#8220;Hello, Dolly!&#8217; went on to be one of the biggest selling records of 1964 and the biggest hit of Armstrong&#8217;s lifetime.</p>
<p>Michael Cogswell, Executive Director of the Louis Armstrong House Museum, observes that, “’Hello, Dolly’ is a splendid example of Louis as musical alchemist.  It’s not a particularly great song, but Louis knocks it out of the park.  Throughout his career, from ‘On a Coconut Island’ in the 1930s to ‘Hello, Dolly’ and “What a Wonderful World’ in the 1960s, Louis had a masterful ability to take a tin-pan alley ditty and transform it into timeless art.”</p>
<p>Barbara Streisand added on Satchmo, “&#8221;He was a sweet, gentle man. I enjoyed working with him. My first booking agent, for nightclubs, was Joe Glaser. I was so impressed that he was Louis Armstrong&#8217;s agent too.&#8221;</p>
<p>The film version of <em>Hello, Dolly!</em> was directed by the legendary dancer and choreographer Gene Kelly, and stars Barbra Streisand and Walter Matthau.  The film screening at the Museum of the Moving Image’s magnificent Sumner M. Redstone Theater, includes a dessert reception and special presentation by Ricky Riccardi, Archivist of the Louis Armstrong House Museum, who will present rare footage of the great Louis Armstrong’s performances prior to the feature.  The reception begins on Saturday, May 10<sup>th</sup>, 2014 at 1:00 pm and the screening begins at 2:00 pm.  The Museum of Moving Image is located at 36-01 35th Ave, Queens, NY 11106.</p>
