This Blog's purpose is to inspire and encourage all those walking their own path __________________________________________________________________ The material shared here represents hundreds of hours of work. Much of the knowledge that has been acquired is extremely deep, abstract and esoteric. I use my life's guidance as a spiritual compass to self discovery and hope that what you read here inspires you to live the life you were created for. I have chosen a style of writing composed mainly of short passages and essays instead of a more traditional format. I believe this approach is more reader friendly and easily adaptable to fit into today's active and at times hectic lifestyle. I hope you enjoy it, and more important, I wish that if nothing else, you come away as I have, with an extraordinary obsession to learn more, explore more, and delve deeper into the great spirit living inside you that is aching to be discovered. My life's purpose is to empower, motivate and inspire all those walking their path. My passion is to share whatever life's wisdom I've attained along the way, while learning from all of you, as I believe we are all a work in progress. I thank you friend for making the connection and look forward to a fruitful and meaningful exchange. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Professional Background: I am an empowered woman, a journalist, human rights activist, social and political commentator, dedicated to raising the consciousness of our global family regarding issues that affect and unite us all. As a student, I learned that inter-disciplinarity is critical to formulating a clear understanding of the complexity of addressing problems with a global dimension. I have been trained by Rutgers University of New Jersey, The University of Salamanca, Spain, and The University of Haifa in Israel, to have a broad knowledge of the world. As a result, I have been able to navigate the inter-connectedness of the private, public, and NGO sectors. As a young professional, I served in several grassroots programs, such as The United Nation's Fund for Peace, Global Alliance for Women's Health, and The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, to name a few. By partnering with local communities around the world, I learned to address needs in such areas as conflict resolution, economic development, education, security and human rights. In the private sector, I worked for the publishing industry, and acquired experience in areas having to do with sales, marketing, promotion and fundraising. Today, I can say without equivocation that my passion surrounds the art of diplomacy. I am fueled by an internal quest to attain an in depth understanding of crucial global topics, such as international conflict management, global strategic sustainability, and international terrorism. ________________________________ 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
