Building Empowerment
Saying yes to the unknown reveals strengths When I saw my friend’s post about traveling to Honduras to build a school, I knew in my heart that I needed to as well. There was something inside me that just screamed GO; you must do this. I did not know the organization that I was signing up with. I did not know how I was going to raise the money to go (close to $3,000.) I did know that I trusted the universe to guide me through this decision and that I had to take this opportunity to put some good into the world myself. World Accord’s headquarters is in Kitchener,…

The importance of a Tribe
Empowering each other empowers ourselves “Who does she think she is?”, “What right does she have?”, “Who put her in charge?”. These are common sentences that I have heard over time when speaking with other women about other successful women. These comments need to change. They need to be replaced with “How can I become as confident?” and “Why is her success bothering me so much?”.

She often questions why someone is making the choices they are, why someone like myself has any gaunt to try something new, to be…
