[What did I learn today? Lessons on the Journey to Unconditional Self Love] Radio Interview today at 11am est

. Being prepared is an act of love. And intelligence. Danielle La Porte

International Women's Day was celebrated last Sunday. I am very privileged
to be born in a country where strides women have made has been incredible,
paving the path for me and many of us to do basically anything that we want
to as women. I now don't take these luxuries or benefits lightly,
travelling the world has opened my eyes to the incredible challenges and
sacrifices women still face. I think about my people, my tribe of women in
making decisions because for me I made a commitment to myself to not just
honor those that came before me but also to leave this earth a better place
than when I met it.

With this in mind I accepted an invitation to talk at an International
Women's Day event. The women were all elders, imagine my surprise when I
walked in and saw some elders that I knew from either TV or hearing about
them from my grandmother. I sat with them for about an hour soaking up
their stories all the while thinking " Okay that speech I wrote ain't gonna
cut it!" And what I learnt right there is that being authentic is the
beginning and the end. I told my story, I paid respect to the elders which,
truth be told, is something that I have noticed is missing more and more in
society. I had so much fun doing that gig! I am truly grateful that my
journey took me to that spot.

When I was leaving they gave me a plant and the lady who gave me said "put
this in the earth and plant some roots" with a huge smile!

Give thanks!

Peace!!!
