Thank you Belize
for exchanging energy, knowledge, and lessons with the women of Divas Abroad 2015.
Your culture is
rich with history.... Your people are full of love!
Being from a Jamaican background - I was especially comfortable!
I embraced the
rain and enjoyed the food… the memories will last forever <3
The Divas Abroad were in Belize as part of a women's empowerment initiative that
was quite successful. Diva Girl Inc, Dare to Be a Dandelion, and The Cornerstone Foundation partnered to create a cultural exchange program between
women in Canada and women in Belize. Seminar topics were selected in hopes of
supporting the Belizean women’s journey through entrepreneurship.
The women
from Belize in turn taught workshops that showcased services from their new
businesses such as sewing, baking, hammock making and how to prepare a local
dish from the Garifuna culture.
Instead of
breaking down what we did, I would like to share principles that I was reminded
of. I hope whoever reads this will make it their mission to live life (or continue living life)
with these principles in mind.
Be Fearless!
In work, in life, in love...
Climb to the top
of that mountain... Invest in your potential and/or great idea...
Share
your talent and never underestimate your capabilities.
I promise you will
feel amazing once you take a chance on yourself!
You Never Need A Reason To Help Someone!
This is very
straight forward.
Your hand has the power to change someone's dreary situation,
make someone smile, lift someone up (physically and spiritually)...
See how
you can be of service to someone today.
Everything Is Energy!
In describing
energy, a great quote reads: "Your thoughts begin it, your emotion
amplifies it, and your action increases its momentum".
Keep your energy
positive! Like attracts like!
We Are One People!
After conversing
with a group of women from different backgrounds, different ages who live in
different countries, and speak different languages; you would be surprised by
the amount of similarities that one can identify among the group. I
particularly noticed this after Divas Abroad 15'.
With individual
strengths and weaknesses - we have more opportunity as a community to thrive if
we collaborate more.
Listen to more
stories so that you can meet more people who share your vision.
#Strength in numbers
Gratitude Is The Attitude!
Life Is A Blessing.
Our resources are
gifts. Appreciate them! Give thanks.
Cherish all that you have and all who
you love.
This is the
perfect opportunity to say thanks again to all of my kind sponsors. Your
support means so much and I am glad that you have been a part of this memory. The ladies and I raised a total of $14, 000. So amazing! #Amen
