Doing the Work they LOVE: GloWomen share what gets them buzzed!

"Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time." ~ Pablo Picasso

When we share our gifts and talents with the world and do the work that we LOVE to do, we are rewarded in so many wonderful ways.

Doing the work that we LOVE fills us with enthusiasm, inspiration and Good Energy as we tune into the Good Stuff and Get our Glow On! ☺

Some of our wonderful GloWomen share with us below, what gets them buzzed about the work they're doing:

Amasilys Palencia Ruiz, Maracay, Venezuela

Visual Artist and Designer at AmaSilyS art&design

What work did you do before?

I worked for many years as a Publicist, Graphic Designer and Radio Producer, because I studied for that and I liked it. Though art and design are my true passion!  

What gets you buzzed about the work you do now - what do you LOVE about it?   

What gets me buzzed about art and design is the possibility of making an idea come true and the awe-inspiring feeling of that accomplishment.

Besides, to know what people feel when they look at my works and realise my idea reaches their souls. WOW!
I also write... I love to tell stories which try to inspire... to humbly share what I'm learning on my journey in life and may be useful or at least enjoyable!

Doryce Sher, Cape Town, South Africa
Founder and Owner of Aromatic Apothecary: manufacturers of ready-to-use Aromatherapy products.

I was a pharmacist before this. (What I refer to as a legal drug dealer - but that may be a bit toooo hectic to say )
*(hehehe I'm happy to leave that in - Bets)

I LOVE and am passionate about people feeling better using something other than a drug for common ailments and everyday stresses.

Kristine Pearson, London, UK
Chief Executive at Lifeline Energy: addressing energy poverty for the poorest and most vulnerable, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa.

Prior to heading up Lifeline Energy more than 13 years ago, I held an executive position with a South African banking group,.
My varied portfolio included leading the reward and recognition programme, the corporate wardrobe and various change management initiatives.
My corporate experience and a strong results orientation helped prepare me for the next chapters of my life at Lifeline Energy.

What brings me joy now:

There is nothing as gratifying as travelling in rural Africa and spending time with the women and children that we serve. Countless times I’ve been touched by the generosity and hospitality of people who struggle to make ends meet, and for whom life itself is a struggle.

Over the years, in return for the gift of a solar and wind-up radio which are used by groups, I’ve been 'gifted' in return with a camel saddle, floor mats, skirts, a dresses, handbags, belts, a gallon of honey, a chicken, several goats and enough jewellery to start my own boutique. All of these items were handmade. People who are abjectly poor nonetheless used their meagre funds and their precious time to bestow me with gifts in appreciation for their radios and what the radios would bring – information and education access to the world beyond theirs.

The generosity, appreciation, warmth and hospitality of the poorest is often a story that goes untold. Whatever I have given to impoverished groups is dwarfed by what I have received in return.

Mary Gee, Adelaide, Australia
Founder/Director at Catch My Drift: a volunteer based program raising awareness for youth mental health & suicide prevention.

I have been a high school teacher of Languages for almost 30 years but have taken a few years off in the past to be a social worker where I counselled families immediately after a suicide.

I now run my own organisation called 'Catch my Drift' which empowers young people to take control of their choices and raises awareness for youth mental health and suicide prevention.
The real buzz comes from the positive feedback I receive on a daily basis, from knowing that what we do really does make a difference. This gives me purpose; this completes me like nothing else ever has before.

Thank You to these inspiring GloWomen for Spreading the Glow with the work they LOVE to do ☺

We uplift ourselves and those around us, allowing creativity and inspiration to flow, when we do the work that we LOVE to do and Spread the Glow! ☺

With Love,

Allowing Opportunities to Get Your Glow On :)

We needn’t look back with regret at ‘missed opportunities’ or ‘the one that got away’.

There is no shortage of opportunities available to us. In our abundant Universe, opportunities abound :)

“No matter what did or did not happen in your past, the present remains the endless fount of miraculous opportunities.” ~ Marianne Williamson

We live in the totality of possibilities – available to each and every one of us :) And when we’re ready and willing to allow them, opportunities appear.

Being ready and willing to allow opportunities means that you have to be clear on what you want and commited to achieving it.

"The moment one definitely commits oneself, the Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help that would never otherwise occurred. A stream of events issues from the decision, raising unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way."~ W.H. Murray.

You need to start preparing for the opportunities that you want. Unless you’re prepared to accept them, those opportunities are going to keep passing you by.

Being prepared means doing what needs to be done, learning what you need to know and putting yourself in a position where you are ready to accept opportunities when they appear. When you show up consistently for what you want, you’ll create more opportunities to get there :)

“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” ~ Seneca

You can create the opportunities you want by asking for them and actively seeking them out. When you start taking steps towards what you want, you’ll start to see opportunities appear.

Don't sit around and complain that 'there aren't any opportunities'. Start doing what you love and get out and share it with your friends, your neighbours, community organisations and anyone who needs it.
Just get on with it :) , make mistakes, learn as you go, get better at it and opportunities will soon be knocking at your door :)

You’ll invite more opportunities by sharing more, giving more, serving more and loving more as you allow Abundance to flow.

"Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, 'What's in it for me?'" ~ Brian Tracy

Some of our greatest opportunities arise out of adversity, so we need to learn to recognise our blessings in disguise :)

“Sometimes, certain of God's blessings arrive by shattering all the windows” ~ Paulo Coelho

Challenging circumstances always provide us with opportunities to develop, learn and grow :)

“You can learn to view each apparent obstacle as an opportunity to develop a new quality, strength, skill, insight or wisdom and be grateful for the lessons. Each challenge is an opportunity for growth and expansion.”~ Jack Canfield

You were born to do what you love :), to Rock your Passion and share your greatest gifts in service to the world.

“There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there's only a scarcity of resolve to make it happen.” ~ Wayne Dyer.

All the opportunities to live your Most JOYful Life are available to you when you allow them to appear.
Are you ready and willing to expect, recognise and accept the opportunities to Rock your Happiness and Get Your Glow On? :)

With Love,
