Sheri Sharman

I was excited to be able to make another loan today with Kiva. Today the loan of $25 was made to Almend Caay from Sapang Dalaga, Philippines.

Almend Caay is from the village of Guinabot. She is 36 years old, married and has 2 school-aged children. Almend owns and operates a food market, selling foods and delicacies in the local community. Almend has been engaged in her business for 7 years. This is actuall her 8th laon made through organizations like to KIve to help expand her business and provide for her family.She plans to use the additional revenue generated from the business to improve her family’s general living conditions.

Kiva is a great organization and you can find out more by going to their website at www.kiva.org

Kiva is the world’s first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend to unique entrepreneurs around the globe. The people you see on Kiva’s site are real people. When you browse entrepreneurs’ profiles on Kiva, choose someone to lend to, and then make a loan, you are helping a real person make great strides towards economic independence and improve life for themselves, their family, and their community. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates and track repayments. It is rewarding to get that email….saying your loan has been repaid and fun in slecting another person or group to help.

I will keep you updated on the progress of this loan and the others that are currently being repaid.

Have a great day,
Sheri

There may be times when you feel your feelings, opinions or concern may not count or make a difference.
But it can make a difference and especially if “one voice” becomes many.

Recently there was a huge collection of voices that made a difference regarding the killing of whales.
Hundreds of thousand of people from around the world told their governments to support policies that protect whales, not kill them.

CLICK HERE to see a short message from the Humane Society’s President and CEO, Wayne Pacelle. Then let your VOICE be heard as we keep fighinting for the whales….let the president know your VOICE counts!

Hi everyone…. just a reminder about our W.E. call tonight Monday, June 21st. at 7:30 PM PT. On our short call(approx. 20 minutes) we will share ways to find some peace and JOY in our sometimes chaotic lives.

Joy can be your light that becomes a beacon for all those in your life you encounter. Joy is infectious and love is very healing to all. Sheri will show you that you do not have to have a prestigious title, be a famed star or a person with great material assets. You only need to have the desire to fully find your own Joy in living your true self and taking this found Joy and inspiring others to do the same.

To find your own Joy may mean stepping outside of your comfort zone by learning something new, surrounding yourself with positive people, experiencing forgiveness, gratitude and or learning how to change your thinking from “smallness.” We must always remember, life is not truly served by playing small.”

Invite your aunts, nieces, sisters, mothers, daughters amd any women that are special in your life.

Time: 7:30 PM PT

I just came across these shopping tips in a recent article in the San Diego Natural Guide and thought I would pass them on to you.

An average person throws out almost 4 pounds of waste a day. Over the course of a year, that’s almost a ton of garbage per person.

Before making a purchase, ask yourself these questions:

1. Do I really need this?

2. Can I borrow or rent it?

3. Can it be recycled, re-used or repaired?

4. How much energy and resources were consumed to create this and transport it to  me?

5. Can I get it in a form that has recycled content, was grown organically or has less packaging? (1/5 of our waste is from packaging)

6. Was this product produced in an environmentally sustainable and socially just manner?

7. Even if this product seems sustainable, do I really want my money to go to this company?

Hmmm…something to think about! Even if you can just take one or two of these tips and put them into practice…you will be making a difference.

It was a great call. If you were not able to join us…no worries mark your calendar now for our next one on Wednesday June 2nd at 7:30  PM.

On our next call we will have a dear friend of mine CeCe Cordova  join us and share some tips on healthy living. Some of you have have met her at our last Women’s Empowerment event at my home is the owner and founder of Inner Health Care in Riverside, CA.

Here are some simple steps that I know if you put some time and attention into them can make a huge difference in your life.

4 Simple Steps to Loving Life

1. Have a Attitude of Gratitude- Take note of what you do have …not what you don’t. I find it so helpful to take a few minutes at night just before I lay my head on that pillow and jot down in a journal a few things I am grafeful for. I write some things in general and then at least three things that I may have experienced that day that I am grateful for. It is so uplifting at some challenging times to go back through my Gratitude Journal and read what is important to me and what I am truly grateful for. I am excited to say in the very near future we will have a gratitude journal available in our “store”.

2. Do something nice for yourself…be kind to yourself.- I love to take bubble baths every night. I have the great baths salts and or bubbles in the water, music, soft lighting and give myself the time and permission to release and let go any stress that I may have experienced during the day. I open my mind to creative thinking and gratitude.

Tracy my assistant and friend for over 12 years loves to be creative with interior design. If she can not work on some home design project she will watch HGTV to feel inspired and charge up her creative side. My mom loves playing with her great grand son, Merric!  My friend Brenda loves going to the beach…she sends me  photos of the beautiful sunsets and the waves crashing in.

Do something for yourself…it can be a massage, facial or pedicure. I think you will agree we all feel great after a little pampering. The biggest thing is do not feel guilty that you have done something for yourself, or that you have taken time away from your family to do something your soul needs.  We must keep ourselves healthy and happy so that we can be there for our loved ones. Just like the instructions when you are flying in an airplane…put the oxygen mask on yourself before tending to others. How can you care for others when perhaps you yourself is falling apart from lack of nurturing!

3. Plan a vacation- now that what I like to hear! Make a to do life list and then start doing and check off as you experience those adventures. It can be a grand vacation, a mini weekend getaway or an afternoon of something you have really wanted to do. JUST DO IT!

4. Look In the mirror- When you wake up look in the mirror and say, ” I am loving MY LIFE! ”
