The who, what, when and why of my book

For years prior to writing this book, my hubs David, clients and friends urged me to share the who, what, when and why of where I was and where I am today.

Oddly it was a quote that framed things in a way that made sense to share my healing and spiritual path from the "there to my healthy, happy here. The essence of the quote was, "those who have walked through the fires and became a Phoenix have a moral responsibility to give the lessons back to give other their transformational wings."

The girl in the shadows on the book jacket was me back "there.| " I wrote this book as a testimony of hope and chronicale how my scars were turned into Lodestars that guide my and others I share our Change Making ideas with today. My book is an offering and affirmation that it is not what happens to us that defines who and what we become. Instead, it is how we respond and choose to do about it.

Bright blessings on your own journey,

Raia

This is What a Feminist Looks Like

I jumped on the Feminist Movement after realizing that my first husband was not an equal opportunity partner in life and love. He was controlling, manipulative, untrustworthy and threatened I took my power back and healed my life. I was no longer "unbalanced, unloved, hopeless helpless little girl" he fell in love with back in high school.

In current society some women do not like to stand up and shout out they are feminists. I DO. The original feminist movement was founded on the idea women have equal rights. It is a basic human right and a right is not-negotiable. The foundation of feminism does not want dominion over gender. At the core, feminism is a fight for ALL human rights and informed, open-minded individuals, understand, accept and embrace the true face of feminism as this video clearly shows.

What do Ferrera, Larry David, and Amy Brenneman have in common? They're all proud to call themselves feminists.Celebrate Women's History Month with them and other feminists by watching the special This Is What A Feminist Looks Like video.
