What are we doing here if not for uplifting and connectng of those we are blessed to encounter. This is my purpose and my life path.
You will find me much of the time in the deep listenng of the message and signs that come from the Divine . I hear Presence wispering in my ear. And now am being pulled to a life of service. Africa is calling me and although I resist I am excited and pulled at the same time. Blessing are everywhere and still I find myself  with doubt, is this really my path? What to do…other than breath.

“We never make a decision.
When the time is right, the decision makes itself.”
– Byron Katie  

So I relax into the knowing that it is all as it should be.
In the world, I am the founder of a non-profit called Skills for Humanity, And I promote sacred music concerts and sacred tours to Bali and India as a way to bring donations for the projects we are doing in Indonesia, Nepal and Africa.
Soon I will be involved with  promoting a festival on September 20th with two other sacred music promoters. The name of the Festival is still not set, but for now we call it The International Peace Festival. It will be at the Soka University in So.Cal.

As I see it, the best way to eliminate poverty is to redistribute the wealth through conscious consumerism and social entrepreneurship. I am a founding member of Skills for Humanity, an organization which works in Nepal Indonesia and Africa to give skills and micro loans to women.
I’ve found through experience, that giving back is the surest way to make use of the challenges we go through in our lives. Certainly, each lesson has given me more compassion, skills and a bit more wisdom.   The thing that gives my life meaning is to give income, opportunities, dignity and hope to women who are living with the daily threat of poverty and oppression.
It was about 10 years ago when I started working with women in Nepal who were abandoned, widowed or rejected by society.
About 4 years ago I opened a second women’s co-op in Indonesia where we now  are hand beading baskets.
In May I will be going to Africa to set up a new co-op which will work with women who are taking care of AIDS orphans.
I also bring Sacred Tours to India and Indonesia. The next one will be with Larisa Stow and the Shakti Tribe to Bali. We will be connecting with the culture, learning sacred ceremony, doing yoga and Kirtan chanting. Proceeds benefit an orphanage in Bali which has over 100 children.
So, here is my question for you…
How are you using your passions, your experience and your unique skills to make a positive impact in the world?

what motives me???  I need to be strong enough to do the work, and  pain keeps me on my toes.

Debbie Ford says
“Revenge is the motivator that has driven me time and time again to go beyond what I had ever imagined possible for myself.”

When we see someone who wants revenge, we usually see someone who feels hurt or betrayed Their attempts to right some wrong only drive them deeper into the feelings that they are running from. They rarely feel good stooping to the same level as their perpetrator.

 So when I needed to be relieved of my pain, I remembered the words that I had heard many times before, whispered throughout history. Success is the only real revenge. It is the soothing elixir to any broken heart or bruised ego. Success trumps all pain and is the ultimate healing balm for the wounds that we have endured throughout our lifetime.

If you are angry about the injustices of your past, let's join together in the name of good and prove just how wrong they were about us. Let's be the greatest grandest expression of who we were meant to be instead of being trapped in an old wound that keeps us living day to day below our potential.

Don't be ashamed of your difficult feelings. Instead, use them for the good of humanity. Use them to inspire you to excellence and make our world a better place. Use the hateful, hurtful and dark emotions to better your life, the lives of those around you and the lives of our future generations.

There is no time to hold on to the wounds of our past. All there is to do is to acknowledge our vengeful, angry and hurt feelings and make another decision. like “I will show them…Watch me!” This is the kind of decision that will lead you to having a life you love. And believe me, when you are acting at your highest and experiencing the magnificence of this world, you no longer care what anyone else said or did to you, and forgiveness becomes natural. Instead, you are grateful for who and what you are and thankful to God for the difficult experiences of your past that have led you to where you are today…living a successful life”
