Teaching Women To Fish: Self Empowerment

It has been a busy 2012 so far this year. It has been challenging and uplifting all at the same time. Life isn’t meant to be perfect. It is just meant to be lived. I am starting to learn my calling for my life…I think it is about uplifting and helping people learn that happiness is in our own hands.

I would like to share with you an article I wrote for Slantress Magazine, a Black women empowerment magazine. I wrote this article: https://www.slantress.com/blog/?p=23 from the soul. My soul is telling me it is time I learn to fish. I want to learn to fish for prosperity so that I can teach other people to do the same.

Deborah Billips , Founder of Slantress Publication, is teach me how to fish. She is very positive and kind.  An article I wrote will be featured in an upcoming issue of Slantress Magazine this spring. Please subscribe to Slantress magazine here  and visit the website at www.slantress.com!
