UNSUNG EXTRAORDINARY HEROINE - Athena and Nike of the 21st Century

Rachel Beck is a warrior in her own right, determined to live the life she loves.  Her special powers are like those of ancient Athena and her ancient companion Nike -  wisdom, stratagem, war and victory.  The only resolve that Rachel is waging, is that of changing the culture associated with Diversity, Positivism and Kindness.  Her victories, are not on a battlefield but with everyday people within her network on social media platforms. Victories are unseen by the world but in incremental significant terms, everyone knows her name, her platform, her message. She made up her mind a long time ago despite life challenges to keep on going.  If you were to ask her for wisdom to tell her future self, Rachel would eloquently tell you [...] "You have moments that will either make or break you.  You have to get to a mindset that asks where do I go from here - Go left or go right then execute that decision without he

Authentically You - Genuine and Sure

   In the quiet of a morning, as I awoke, the day was dark and cloudy, nonetheless it was not a dismal moment, but one of gratitude and thanks.  As I moved through my morning routine there seemed to be a sense that my day had something to awaken me to.  A story was on my mind and it needed to be shared.   As I pondered, struggled, thought and grappled with many thoughts, I realized that periodically I needed to speak about where I am at.    My heart could feel the call to action and that is very powerful, something one ought not ignore.  It is very much like the call of the wild.  We are truly domesticated in our daily routines and rituals. Practically bound to them.  Some are oddities that we cannot explain away and yet are necessary for us to get through our day.  My call of the wild is of a different nature.      What that nature is, in simple terms boils down to the call to be true to yourself, your principles and how you lean into life. The conversation I engaged in with myself to

M E N - Mighty, Empowering, Nurturing. A Celebration for Father's Day

   This is dedicated to all  M E N - Mighty, Empowering, Nurturing. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY.  MEN who whether they are fathers or not bring to the fabric of life an equalization.  That equalization is their logic, nurturing, life experience that they are always willing to share, their tender heart and yes they inexplicably like women have a tender heart.  Tenderness and care is an indelible strength that should not be dismissed as a weakness.    We have long socialized them into a corner that says MEN do not cry, but they do.  I have spent many a moment recently watching my DAD cry with me as we try to get through the tough life experiences raising a special needs child;  where his support of me is needed.  MEN have soul, heart, mind without a doubt.   It is time to be open to awaking to a real sense of what men are -  strong, vigilant like that mighty oak tree, but deep inside they are vulnerable, caring, and loveable.    Let's take a moment to celebrate every day of the year those

UNSUNG EXTRAORDINARY HERO - POWERHOUSE WOMAN - A MAJESTIC LIONESS

If one were to ask her what animal she represented, the first instinct for me was a Giraffe;  not because of her beautiful strawberry blonde mane of hair, but because of her veracity to have fun and laugh.  One would not think  now that her greatest challenge was being an introvert, and seemingly from her position of thought, much rather an ambivert.  The mere thought of putting herself out there was in and of itself unheard of. When she joined the LinkedIn platform, it meant that she had to break through the barriers in order to interact, even comment.  That took patience, diligence, persistence and time.  Diligence and time to some are a reasonable expectation, but for Elaine Jacque, her first comment took months to get to a place of saying a few words.  She can relate to you if you are a newbie to the experience of social media.  Her heart and soul do not let her forget, because she leads with light and care.   Knowing her challenges and facing them has placed her in the court of Em

Unsung Extraordinary Heroes Living Ordinary Lives - Powerhouse Women

Each moment of our lives we are influenced by trends, things, media, music, did I say things.  But most of all by people who enter our lives like a cool breeze unknowingly to touch our lives, whether intentional or unintentional. Understanding the Law of Attraction enables one to lean into the ideology that what you think about you bring about.  Essentially we attract what we manifest.  It is fortunate when the universe brings you into connection with people who uplift, believe and show you your path. Without a doubt, I have felt that movement in the air when the universe aligns.  This gentle nudge brought me to a place of contemplation.   That deep thought resonated two words,  Powerhouse Woman.   It was a recipe for being a champion.   A cooking lesson so to speak where the law of attraction and kindness were gently folded into that mix like the white peaks of egg whites.  We can picture that wonderful blend and how smooth, fluffy and light the chemical rendition of cake we get.  The
