Sometimes I look at what I’ve done and I feel like I failed or at least didn’t succeed as much as I wanted to. When acting on the basis of these skills and attitudes, individuals have greater ability to take control of their lives and assume the role of successful women. A lot has really happened in my community with education offered to mothers. Not sure of where to get the funding to set the enterprise, and talking to series of friends for some time on the importance of the program. I currently work with an organization in Mombasa, Kenya, working with farmers who collaborate with DoTerra in outsourcing essential oils. I also manage Healing hands Foundation grants for community developments in Kenya. I would say this has been an amazing journey and I have enjoyed and cried through each and every step that I have taken to be who I am today. I consider myself as a living example of a successful woman in my community despite my personal hardship did not deter me to continue changing the approach of women and girl child. Anita is from Africa, Kenya. Once they reach the age of 12 years they are married off to men aged like their fathers, not of their choice, for the families to be paid a bride price. Anita had to fight all odds to finish her secondary level and join university to achieve her degree in Commerce. Anita has worked with a microfinance institution in Kenya where she managed Kiva loans and ensured that loans are fully funded by lenders.

In The Closet

She changed many lives of poor women who could not afford to get loans from the banks to improve their lives of poverty. She also manages Healing Hands Foundation grants for community developments in Kenya. The mission of the humanitarian group is to mentor families globally through education and entrepreneurship in an effort to eliminate physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional poverty. Anita is a living example of successful women in her community who have passed through challenges. She has established adult education classes in which young women who got married at the age of 12 and did not get a chance to go through school are taught how to read and write and offered business skills. This in turn gives freedom and independence to the women who will be in a position to start their own businesses and educate their daughters to become better people in the society. My husband Justin waited for me outside my office building in our used Toyota Corolla. I had graduated from college and gone to work for a major auto manufacturer. I loved my experience, but the point finally came when my freedom mattered more than any paycheck. I had gone to college intending to graduate with a business degree so I could find an awesome corporate position and compete with any guy out there. I had achieved my goal, but found I really didn’t love corporate life the way I had imagined. I started out as a marketing assistant, responsible for lots of fun things working for a luxury brand.

Never Be Anyone Else But You

I was floored to think they were allowing someone with very little experience be in charge of moving prototypes of new cars around the country to various car shows. I sent promotional items to special corporate customers and dealership owners, and was also responsible for ordering all the trinkets and trash promotional items for our events. My favorite part of the job was coordinating competitor trades. I couldn’t believe I was being paid to drive next to the ocean with palm trees dancing all around me. It was just plain fun to drive a different brand new car every week. I was proud of myself for having landed a fantastic corporate job and making a real salary. The Idaho farm girl in me knew how to work hard, and I was pretty focused and grounded for my young age. I was awarded with a couple of promotions and continued to surprise and delight my managers. My final promotion required me to travel to 25 dealerships in a Southern California region. I spent hours driving in the company car I had personally customized with every option available. I would sit in traffic and then go visit dealerships, to consult their parts and service departments. I offered value in the form of strategizing market growth, but my real task each day was selling aftermarket parts to dealers who couldn’t afford my products but were obligated to buy whatever I was marketing.

The Blanket of Night

It was a challenging time in the auto industry, and both the manufacturer and dealers were under pressure to find profits. My days were spent fighting traffic and dealers and every night ended with me falling asleep with my laptop. The intense stress was a new experience for me. Looking back I can see anxiety had become a way of life. My salary and the company car with free gas and insurance felt like golden handcuffs, and I began to lose the joy I had found in working. A moral dilemma led me to walk into my office to resign that day. I could no longer stand the pressurized environment I was in. I wanted happiness back. I just knew I was beyond burned out and wanted my integrity to stay intact. Disillusioned by corporate jobs, I decided to become my own boss and started teaching piano lessons and selling on eBay. I didn’t let my lack of experience stop me because the drive for a bit of income mattered more. Little tiny paper pieces would sell for insane prices, and I never knew how much money each listing would produce. It was fun to see how much money the market was willing to pay for each theme. I didn’t need to make tons of money, but these two little side jobs kept me going. I had become an entrepreneur. I found a lady I trusted and had a phone call with her.

Input Fixation And Time Management

In businesses today, a plethora of processes, initiatives and programmes are in play at any one time. Whatever their nature, these processes usually have different ‘owners’ and are led by different functions. The problem is that there is rarely somebody overseeing all these different processes or looking at their combined impact on employees. No one has the task of assessing the time required to execute the different stages of any process. Consequently, employees frequently find themselves being pulled in multiple directions and put under pressure to satisfy competing demands on their time. In addition to these major business processes, many respondents in my work time survey4 commented on the substantial time they devoted each week to routine tasks and essential compliance ...

A Material Unfamiliar To My Modern Eyes

Griffon vultures spend their days soaring in search of carrion and have huge wingspans, wider than eagles’, making their wing bones an excellent source of long tubes for Paleolithic flute makers. Fine fracture lines divide the bone’s smooth surface into a dozen pieces. These fragments were recovered from cave deposits, then reassembled and interpreted by University of Tübingen archaeologists Nicholas Conard, Maria Malina, Susanne Münzel, and their colleagues. Here in the Blaubeuren Museum, adjacent to the griffon vulture flute, sits a flute of a stouter design. It has three beveled finger holes on the concave side of its curvature. A splinter extends down from the third hole, suggesting that the flute was originally longer. Unlike on the bird bone, two seams run down ...

Early Experiences Of Connection

It may become a journey that is powerful far beyond finding a partner to create a home with or getting your daily needs met. Instead, the health of your union comes down to how you handle conflicts when they do arise. Many people discover there is a spiritual dimension to this work. Eventually, you may find yourself aligning energetically with a universal source of love and support so much greater than you even believed possible, a connection you will begin to see reflected in the quality of all your relationships. When you set out to cultivate healthy romantic relationships, make no mistake, you are setting out on a path that can lead to spiritual transformation. Entered from a place of inner stability, our relationships can be a pathway to understanding ourselves as ...

Gauging Intensity Using Your Heart Rate

How will you know what pace is right for you? This allows your mind to see the path and understand how to continue to advance. The experience of progress is always a surprise. From the cellular level up, much more is happening than can ever be understood. We become more alive and an inexpressible joy rises. Wendy’s fear of going to the gym the first time is more than common. Fred says he is still surprised how many of his closest friends and colleagues admit feeling they cannot do what he does, because they are afraid of going to a gym. The reasons vary from fear of being seen in workout clothes to being afraid of having other people watching them to a fear of just appearing weak. In each instance, you can hear that ...

Love Addicts Often Need Support

An anxious person’s response to the intensity and desperation of their narcissistic partner may be to step beyond codependency and fall into love addiction. Even though we know we need to walk away, we will not always be able to do that. An addiction is something we repetitively do to protect us from feeling old pain and fear. The neurochemicals that get released in the early phase of relationships feel extra potent because as children we did not receive enough of them, so our reaction when we feel them release is heightened. In the grip of love addiction, our focus narrows until nothing else matters. All we can think about is finding and keeping a partner who will satisfy our craving for love. This urgent need is what keeps us coming back for more, even when we ...

Creating An Integrated Approach

Let’s take a look at the time practices that enable us to notice each other, appreciate our differences and value our unique perspectives. Many organizations conduct annual workforce surveys and perhaps more frequent ‘pulse’ surveys to gauge employee sentiment. But to have an impact, we need to go beyond asking and listening and call out any exclusive or discriminatory talk or practices that we see or hear. When our sense of purpose comes from our life outside of work, such as becoming a parent, employers can still acknowledge and support these goals. As well as formal policies and benefits, time to talk with other colleagues can be hugely beneficial for those looking to find their niche, connect with potential sponsors, achieve an important goal or overcome work or personal challe...

The Secrets Of Physical Contact And Eye Contact

Michael Meaney, an emminent psychologist at the Douglas Hospital Research Center at McGill University in Montreal, demonstrated that touching baby rats during the first few weeks of life results in development of receptors that control the production of glucocorticoids. These are very powerful stress chemicals that cause a multitude of problems, including impaired growth and damage to brain cells. Meaney’s first child was born, and in early childhood he made a point to hug her more than he otherwise would have. Our evidence, he was quoted as saying, suggests that the hugging I give my daughter today will help her lead a happier, healthier life. My touch may be shaping her future. How about that? The article that this experiment was quoted in also ...

Can Leave You Examining If You Are Truly On The Right Path

You are in the driver’s seat of your own experience. Again, this illustrates that sometimes what is deemed light and love is actually limited thinking masquerading as truth. For instance, and this is a very lighthearted example, we all have questions we want to know the answers to, and sometimes we seek guidance in the weirdest of ways. The user asks a yes/no question to the ball and then turns it over to see the answer revealed in a small window on the back of the plastic sphere. Does he like me? I would ask. I only felt happy and content to put the mystical device down and walk away when it told me what I wanted to hear. I handed my power over to this silly toy and didn’t turn to my own powers of discernment for advice, guidance, a...

To Connect And Exchange Information

Entering into a partnership with the energy of our core wounds taking the lead means that rather than choosing a mate who will help us to open up and grow, we are simply using the relationship as another quick fix. Simply put, their beliefs about themselves and the world make them an energetic match for us. For example, if Hunter subconsciously believes I must work hard to earn love, then she will be projecting the energy of this belief into her world, thus attracting situations and relationships that prove this to be true. Our own emotional energy is not flowing freely or being replenished again. As a result of this stagnant energy, we also begin to lack creativity and spontaneity, and can feel deflated, uneasy, and feel unfulfilled. We struggle to access our higher ...

A Lifetime Of Health And Prosperity

Parents always know their babies better than anyone, but it can be so hard to insist on the kind of care you feel your child needs when you, yourself, are not a medical professional. Parents advocate for their children like nobody else. Early interventions can mean the difference between a lifetime of struggle and a lifetime of health and prosperity. This is largely due, again, to our fragmented medical system. But really, parents are the key. She was a healthy, happy baby, but she snored and sometimes seemed to struggle to nurse. When Frances’s teeth started to come in, they were crooked and crowded. But her pediatrician was not concerned. He shrugged off my friend’s questions and suggested waiting. He said Frances didn’t need to g...
