Awaken Your Global Heart

For years we have been inundated with information on personal growth, spiritual growth and self help...and we all get the concept. But now we have reached a pivotal point in history whereby we must begin turn this knowledge into action and move this collective conversation forward. In doing so we will shape the future for our daughters.

I try very hard not to read the newspaper or listen to the news...but lately my mother has made it a point to keep me updated on all of the natural disasters that have been happening around the world. From earthquakes to erupting volcanoes and more. The screaming emergencies of these disasters challenged all of us to look deep within our hearts and wallets to help.

But what about the silent screams within the hearts of so many women around the world that are never heard? Daily my inbox and my telephone get flooded with stories from women around the world who are hurting and suffering from what I call an "identity crisis." Having been told they are ugly, fat, not pretty enough, not smart enough and just "not the one?"

While I thank God to have been one of the ones chosen to listen and even on occasion offer help...there is so much more to be done. I'm reminded in the animal species, how the fierce the female can become when she feels her young are being threatened. As with the Hyenas...the adult females encircle their baby hyenas while they're feeding and will not let the adult male get anywhere near the food until the babies have been fed.


So I began to ask the question? Who's protecting our daughters? From what you might ask? From the biggest predators of them all, "THE MEDIA." The influence of the media, such as the internet, television, and radio, has threatened the very existence of our daughters. Our daughters are in a crisis....but what's even more alarming? So are the MOTHERS!!! So who's protecting who? No One!!

Ladies our sisters and their daughters are suffering...and suffering on a level I have never witnessed before. I've worked with women and girls for over 20 years, and I have never seen such heart break, on this level...never! We must forge forward collectively to slay this giant that is trying to wipe out a species.

What can we contribute to bring an end to the suffering of the world? Isn’t that why we’re all here? All of us must do our very best to alleviate suffering? Someone once said, “Pain is inevitable, but suffering is a choice. It really can be and those of us who have heard the call to “heal the broken”, the time has come to awaken your global heart.

If enough of us move beyond getting what "I want” to "what WE need”...we in return will begin to change the planet....to protect......to restore...to re-establish.

While all of us do our individual effort to make a difference in the lives of many...I'm calling for a collective effort of life coaches, teachers, ministers, authors and speaker to awaken your global heart. It’s time to live our lives with impeccable responsibility. Your mission, your purpose and your vision for life is larger than any challenge or issue you are facing today. Let’s all get busy pursuing purpose and sharing our gifts in a more powerful way while holding onto this one reality..."The power of possibility is greater than any wound that binds them to the past."
