Empowered Women

Empowered Women – Volume 5

March 27, 2019

For this week’s Empowered Women Series, I’m introducing you to one of my OMagInsider sisters. Ali was also one of the “inaugural 50” with me when the ambassador program for The Oprah Magazine started back in 2017. I was blessed to have met Ali and another Insider in person when I was in Las Vegas with my family back in 2017. Ali has a beautiful spirit is always sharing some great inspiration along with gorgeous pictures in her Instagram stories that really inspire me. You can follow her here.

Tell us a little bit about YOU:

I consider myself to be a spirited, versatile down to earth girl that happens to have many diverse activities and responsibilities. I feel empowered in a sense, because I have been given the opportunity to live through many different challenges, more than some women may live in one lifetime. Nonetheless, this has allowed me to help other women in their journey. Confidence, setting boundaries, and being able to keep “getting up” after difficult or traumatic events doesn’t always come easy for many. Learning through the years how to get better and overcome in these areas has developed somewhat of a skill that I feel should be shared.  I am looking forward to publishing a book that hopefully assists in accomplishing this as well as setting up a “home” in Mexico that will assist young ladies (with focus on Tarahumara or Raramuri Indians) with “teen pregnancy education”, general education including English, minimal medical assistance, and living quarters with occupancy of 12 at a time (through pregnancy or if victims of domestic abuse). I am also a Spanish Interpreter and a mother to 4 awesome kiddos and a grandmother to triplets.

Favorite Quotes:

“Life’s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, They’re supposed to help you discover who you are” –Bernice Johnson Reagon

and

“Tradition and assumption are the greatest enemies of intelligent action” – Manoj Bhargaua

Biggest disappointment:

How complicated and more difficult we make things. How the government, laws, and society have changed the way we care for our communities and our earth. How challenging it is for human kind to support each other. The amount of challenges I have had to get permits, legalities, and assistance for my nonprofit home has many times been due to people and their personal decisions, not necessarily the law or what is right. Challenges that become bigger because of someone’s mood, opinion, electoral party of choice, corruption, greed, etc. Sometimes I feel we can actually ruin it for our future generations…

Because of fear of lawsuits, millions of pounds of food are thrown away daily instead of feeding the homeless, we have lost trust in others due to crime in our neighborhoods, at times we do not help or get involved due to fear of repercussion or possible consequence, or simply for lack of time and medias influence.

Favorite Piece of Advice:

We must live for today and water our seeds while we’re at it! – Metaphorically speaking. Pay attention to our thoughts and the value of time. Give attention to the impact our decisions, choices, and “investments” have in the life we want to create for ourselves. How much are we putting back into our friendships, our families, our goals, and our purpose? But most importantly, be humble and always, always, always… be grateful!

Favorite Collaboration:

My children!

I have had the privilege to work with amazing, famous, talented, clever and recognized folks around the world, but I must say my children and my friends can be brutally honest. They are big dreamers, full of inspiration, motivation and drive! The will get projects moving and will make sure we all have fun while doing them. We get involved in the community and plan collaborations that are infused with each of our individual talents. When my son creates music, videos or short films, when my daughter plans theatrical sets, or when we simply go with the homeless, get the family to set up a blanket drive or fundraiser… they are true bosses!

How can we support you?

Your support is greatly appreciated by “paying it forward.” I try to motivate people to stop for a brief moment and appreciate their surroundings: the sky, the flower, their homes, their hard work, their education, their “checked off tasks of the day”- pat yourself on the back! And then… give back. Get involved, somewhere, somehow. Then after that, if you have a spare minute or two, please send a prayer, good vibes, or happy wishes to the teen girls going through pregnancy around the world. – Thank you kindly x

Be sure to come back every Wednesday for my Empowered Women Series. Let me know if you’d like to be featured in a future post.

Remember this pretty navy strapless dress? I can change up the look in the blink of the eye with my accessories. 

Today I added a lightweight olive color sweater wrap over my shoulders and a neutral cane wristlet. 

I find the little half sweater wrap to be the perfect touch. It adds interest, extra color and a tiny bit of warmth. It comes in dozens of colors and stripes too. 

Comment SHOP and I’ll send you the details and links for this pretty outfit.

Patience is a virtue… I patiently waited (and s Patience is a virtue…

I patiently waited (and stalked) the website and brick and mortar stores until I finally found these cute (and extremely comfortable) suede sandals in my size. 🎉

They’re the perfect pairing with my new Lysse New York outfit! I’m feeling like I should be going somewhere warm and fun now.

My jewelry is Melinda Maria and you can use code StacieH for 10% off your order.✨

My purse is Spartina 449. Isn’t it divine?!💗

Just say SHOP and I will send you all the outfit details, but you must be following me to receive the message (it’s an IG rule).‼️ 

P.S. I’m 5’1” and mostly wear petites, but this outfit is regular misses sizes. The pants are cropped length on most.💖

Well this pretty dress does that for me!☺️

Comment SHOP for the link to this carefree outfit with sizing details.💖

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖
