It is recent that I have finally understood, you must make yourself happy before you can ever make anyone else. You must heal within first before you can help anyone else heal. You must love thy self fisrt before you can ever really love another. Even more important I have realized that being of the creator , I can to create. From this moment on my life will change and therefore I will do my part to positively impact the lives of the women I am ever greatful to work with.

What was your "women really matter and I'm going to do something about it" moment?

My moment was at the bed side of my dying Grandmother Concepion. Her words to me were "You are a healer, but you must always heal your self first." It was true source speaking to me. Her passing rebirthed the "True Women" in me.
To her, I dedicated all that I do.
