Inspiration from Bali

"If each woman is someone's daughter, sister, wife, or mother........... (watch clip below to hear more by Robin Lim)". How much change could we create? Such a profoud statement in the grand scheme of life as we know it, when describing how women must embrace each other to truly heal each other and the world. Women have always been the healing matriachs of society and the current world climate shows how far we have gotten away from this role. Perhaps if we become more inspired as we experience a certian healing in the atomoshpere and a global shift of change, healing and restoration be more victorious and triumphant amidst the turmoil and chaos.

Robin Lim, a renowned midwife, chose to take her life an destiny to Indonesia to effect magnificent change. In this part of the world, death rates for birthing mothers is high and Robyn decided to do something about it. Starting a clinic in Bali and later one in Banda Aceh where the 2004 Tsunami hit, serves 63,000 women each year to help prevent infant mortality and mother's death through birth. Robin is an excellent example of one who is healing through health care activism, healthcare access for women and children, all while creating global change and giving undeniable inspiration.

Friends in High Places!

Each and every day is an opportunity to get in tune with yourself and others. It is an opportunity to learn something new to liberate, elevate, and empower yourself or someone else. When we realize it is not about ourselves but about the impact, imprint, and influence we have that can positively effect someone else's life that really matters. Today someone made an imprint on me that was inspiring. I spoke to a co-worker who barely speaks english, who is from Equador, and who is always cheerful and pleasant. I always understand her because I try to listen to her. In talking to her I learned that she speaks Italian, French, and Spanish, and barely speaks English. We laughed because it is usually understood that if you can speak the other languages well, then English is an afterthought. Besides, the other languages sound so much better! She inspired me to hurry up and get my passport. Jockingly I told her if she took me around the world with her, I would teach her English. Jockingly she agreed to take me up on my offer. However the outcome, I learned more about a coworker in 15 minutes of conscious conversation that will impact me for quite a while. Even more inspiring she say's she travels to Italy, Paris, and Europe for FREE as her travel agent is a good friend of hers! WOW!!!!! Can we say friends in high places! To top it off, she has friends travel with her that pay only $400 to travel to the countries with her! Yes, I did ask If I could get the same deal and beamingly she said YES!!!!! It is always worth talking to someone, you never know what you may learn, gain, or give in return : ) I gained a new friend and possibly travel abroad!
