Perhaps you’ve noticed I’ve been a bit MIA lately. Hmmm?

Well one thing for sure, I haven’t posted in a while. You see, I’ve been just a tad busy. 

“Doing what?” you may ask. SOOO glad you did! Because I have an announcement to make!!

TaDaaaaa!! Presenting~~~~~

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…

You’re Supposed To Be Afraid!

passionistaatlarge

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

passionistaatlarge

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

Stop Trying To Get It Right

passionistaatlarge

Today I read those words from Your Worthy Self and I wanted to stand up and cheer!   For so many, many years, actually for decades, I lived my life trying to get everything right.

What IS a BOX anyway?

passionistaatlarge

"Thinking outside the box." "Living outside the box." We hear these phrases all the time. And so I ask you, WHAT is a BOX? As a well-practiced People Pleaser, I do believe I was living inside a box of other people's expectations, their opinions of me, their considerations of what was a worthy pursuit for… Continue reading What IS a BOX anyway?

Motherhood

passionistaatlarge

My thoughts on being a mama (at age 48, no less!): 1~ I never wanted to be a mother. God had other plans. I wouldn't change it for anything. 2~ Being a mom has totally changed me. It will. Nothing will ever be the same. You will never be the same person you were. It's… Continue reading Motherhood
