Can I suggest I had everything to do with the person I am today.

Last night

Instead of watching Grey’s Anatomy, I spent 3 hours helping a young mom have informed consent/informed refusal about shots for her premature infant. It was really the first bit of medical freedom and parents’ rights advocacy I’ve done in nearly 2 ½ years. It felt so authentic and purposeful that I cried for hours, fell asleep for awhile, woke up, and cried again for hours.

Sharing our personal stories about medical coercion/injury/abuse, even just sharing information, may make some people uncomfortable or upset. But it helps other people acquire knowledge, courage, and agency to advocate strongly for themselves on their own journeys. And it fosters a community of mutual support, and healing of my own traumas.

...And you're going to know to your bones that your deepest wounds have served a profound purpose... If we truly want to heal our emotional wounds, we have to stop asking how to make the pain go away. Rather, we must ask two different questions instead: “What can I learn from my wounds?” “Whom can I serve because of my wounds?” Instead of desperately trying to escape our emotional pain, we must learn to transform it. Instead of desperately wishing that our life could have been different, we must learn to see how and why it is so perfect for us, and what we can do for the world precisely because of our pain.

Passimatch

A digital purpose engine for aspiring entrepreneurs.

Passionate about making your mark in the world, but unsure of the colour, shape and permanence of that mark? Eager to fit into the purposeful millenial mould and find acceptance amongst your peers? Keen to describe yourself as a social entrepreneur in your Twitter handle?

Passimatch allows for the realisation of the authentic you that lies underneath the dispersed sense of social purpose fostered by economists and policy makers who forsee an inevitable slump in employment opportunities and quality of life in Western democracies.

Passimatch can find the personal passion that’s right for you. Trademarked Passimatch technologies use the advanced psychometrics of Facebook likes, Twitter RTs and BuzzFeed quizzes to pinpoint the moral change that you could be making, authentically. Then, using the power of networks and LinkedIn, Passimatch connects you up with people who could benefit from your passion through its crowdsourced, real world, poorly remunerated Missions. Every  Mission allows you to liveshop some change in the world, while simultaneously squashing any aspiration to earn more than a living wage.

Through its patented Hlpful data layer, Passimatch produces powerful analytics on the relationship between passion and price, thereby maximising the competitive edge of authentic purpose.

Through a partnership with the Cabinet Office, every registration with Passimatch counts as ‘meaningful social action’ and contributes to the government’s ambition for all young people to participate in some of that by 2020.

Passimatch believes it has the potential to generate somewhere between £23 million and £41 billion of social value by 2021.

Restless Night

One of those nights when your looking at the ceiling and and wishing you could turn your thoughts off and sleep. So there is a million reasons I can't sleep i suppose; however how do you pick which reason?

Thanksgiving is this week and thinking of the thanksgivings from when I was a little girl and my daddy grilling the turkey in his make shift cinderblock grill. The turkeys always turned out and his rolls were like fluffy clouds, him being so much older than most dads it amazed me watching him get up at 4am and start cooking for our family. 

So I guess some reason I can't sleep is missing my family and being so grateful that all my children are under one roof and are happy and healthy and such a blessing even when they are fighting lol.

Another reason is just being so over filled with gratefulness of so many things how do you thank God for all of it? Being Saved, my gifts, my children, children in my life that I love, Timber, heather , Brandon Elizabeth and baby boy Bryson, friends those who have came and gone, my job,my boss and friend,seeing the world changing everyday,my parents,my upbringing, my strength and faith to all the little insignificant moments and things I never even think of and thats alot, my cup is running over.

Maybe I'm awake cause I know this world is changing. My dad was born in 1927 and he has seen so many things at 86 and I want to remember everything and pray God allows me to have a long life with a good memory as well.

Maybe cause there is so many in the world that need prayer; I pray for our leaders of this country, for Israel for their children and citizens, for my own children and generations that God will bless with them all one day.

Maybe its because my soul is restless and there is so many people God that I want to reach and give some sort of peace too, I know people are reading this going well biggg deallll. Have you ever had a drive in you to do something? like win a race? or graduate? what ever drives you well that is how my soul feels about helping others. I know that God called me to help as many people as I can and I used to think it was money but I see now at 38 that words and closure and messages from loved ones and god means more than any money I could ever give to any one. Dont get me wrong if I was blessed I would give.....
