Welcome Friends !!! __________________________________________________________________ This blog serves as a reflection of who I am : An empowered woman , a journalist, a human rights activist, social and political commentator committed to raising the consciousness of our global family regarding issues that affect and unite us all. I believe our true purpose is to be life-giving. My aim is to bring more trust into the world, not more fear. I believe that those who seek power for its own sake will always meet a greater power, which inevitably leads to fear thus losing power. We, as a humanity must understand how to have power without needing to display it. Then the power struggle with others will be replaced by the idea of empowering others. I have a natural instinct to communicate and use my voice to speak publicly as a unifier. As an ACTIVIST concerned with how the media uses information, I counteract propaganda by listening to local voices who not only have a point of view but also represent the values of the community. As a RESEARCHER, I find that the airing out of every level of information is the first step in attaining a philosophical shift. I am committed to speaking from a free place; my heart. I am committed to the future; to the healing of myself and others. My deepest hope is self expression and soul growth. I look to the inheritance from the past to harvest clear lessons and negotiate a path to an enlightened future. ________________________________ You can expect to find personal essays, poetry, quotes, and adages accompanied by beautiful photography and inspirational videos. Occasionally I will reblog that which I feel promotes optimism and serves to inspire and motivate others. You are welcomed to visit my other pages within this blog, to submit questions, topics you would like to be discussed, etc. I believe each of us is born into this life with purpose; each of us is part of and responsible for the greater whole and I encourage you to have your voice heard. Blessings, Maritza  Visitors
