Say WHAAAT? What kind of word is “EmPOWordment”, anyway?

It’s a Mimi kind of word. It means

words that empower and encourage“!

And that is the kind of person I am. My goal is to help you empower and encourage others too, because, for goodness sake, we NEED it these days!!

You are amazing with a side of sprinkles

As Passionista At Large (my speaking-for-events business) my goal is to uplift, empower, inspire, ignite, inform, and give hugs to as many women (and some men too) as I possibly can. Thus, I signed up for a vendor show,

to “get myself out there”.

As I pondered how to draw…

First You Must Trust Yourself

First you must trust yourself...if you can't, you may put too much weight on what others think or say.    Everything you need is inside you. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You are enough. You are capable. You are fabulous. Your own mind and heart know. Truly. Just take the time to see and… Continue reading First You Must Trust Yourself

Our Girls Are Not A “Distraction”!

I read this article today about how female high school students are being told to leave the classroom for wearing “inappropriate” clothing that violates the school dress code. However, in many cases the reason why their clothing is offensive isn't given. Sounds like discrimination and a real power-play to me.  It's scary how much power some… Continue reading Our Girls Are Not A “Distraction”!

Gratitude~Veteran’s Day

We should never, ever take for granted the freedoms we have, and the Americans who have given sacrificially to guard them. My heartfelt thanks goes to every soldier who has ever served and to those who are still serving. My daddy was in the Korean War, and my uncle was present in WWII, on February… Continue reading Gratitude~Veteran’s Day

Why NOT Me?

You should never feel as if you are insignificant and undeserving. Dream that dream. Set those goals before you. Because, why shouldn't you reach them? You, as much as anyone you admire, deserve the chance to do what your heart desires. Yep, sometimes it takes a long time. And it's really, really tough. But that… Continue reading Why NOT Me?

You’re Supposed To Be Afraid!

I just read an amazing post by Lori Fields of "Your Worthy Self". She is such an inspiration to me, and I love that we work together in the trenches to help women realize how amazing, worthy, creative, capable, and enough they are. She speaks of fear as that which helps us grow... "You no longer… Continue reading You’re Supposed To Be Afraid!

Do You Desire To Encourage Others?

IF ~you desire to encourage those you love.... ~you see value in giving words on paper so they can be read over and over... ~it's important to leave a written legacy of remembrance... ~the popular forms of communication are becoming shallow... ~you know that electronic "stuff" gets lost ALL the time!... ~you want to show someone you care… Continue reading Do You Desire To Encourage Others?

Words To Help

We Can’t Give More Than What We Are

Without giving ourselves compassion,  we can't be compassionate. When we judge ourselves harshly, we can't be accepting. If we feel that our lives lack, we can’t give generously. When we feel that we are not enough, we can't lift up and applaud others. When we take ourselves too seriously, we can’t enjoy life. If we don’t love… Continue reading We Can’t Give More Than What We Are
