Re: Be Who You Are: How To Live An Authentic Life

Carolyn Moor — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:44:57 -0800

Life Experience and trusting God's plan are the two top ways I have found to find who you truly are and live authentically.

In my 20's, I thought I had "the plan" and if I was focused, determined and smart, it would come with time. But as we all know now in our 40's, that's a great idea.

Now in my 40's, I realize having the 'dream' is only part of the formula for finding your true purpose. It's the picking yourself up after something you didn't expect that helps you find out what you really have inside. It's tough and gentle at the same time. Life experience has a melody all it's own and you have to pay attention to hear every note.

Here are other ways I have found to finally live authentically:
1. Believe in the unknown.
2. You have the capability to be something different if you choose it to be.
3. Prayer works.
4. Always speak the truth, even if you are scared what will happen next.
5. Become the way you wish the world to be.
6. Lay in the grass and just look up to the sky. It's amazing.
7. Laugh...... a lot.

Re: How do you get on Boards of Directors to make a difference?

I am a nurse and have heard that doctors for instance get seats on boards by donating money. I believe that it should not be that way, however I have seen that people who can donate the most seem to have more power.

How do you get on Boards of Directors to make a difference?

I am 62 and have been trying for years to get on boards to make a difference. With over 30 years in business and education, I believe I can make a substantive difference. However, I find it difficult to find the right connections to achieve that goal. Suggestions, please?

Not only is it interesting to hear a palm reader's life experience, but she has a great message for what she does for women:

Re: How has The Women's Conference empowered your life?

I must be honest... this is the first one I have seen. but it was wonderful... so much inspiration, hope, faith, and love.... Maria is a wonderful woman ... needless to say. it has reaffirmed my inner strenght , for the past couple of years I have been lacking on that personally- though I have never given up on my fellow (wo)man.... it is my life's work. But deep in me I was a bit lost. I have just celebrated my 50th birthday, gotta say don't feel a day over 30 :) So I have come to the realization that it is time to reinvent myself. So I am setting out to create a new opportunity for myself and at the same time all that cross my path in one way or another shall reap the benefits of the new me. Everything and anything is possible... I never thought that Iwould see a person of color in the white house but alass we have a black president, and there I was hoping to atleast get to see a madame president in my lifetime.. so for that one I'm still hopeful thank you all who participated and spoke at the conference I have been re-newed.

Tell us about your personal experience with the Election 2008. There were a lot of important propositions in the state -- and of course, the presidential race! How did you come about with your choices? What were the conditions like at your polling place?
