If you have not heard of Carol Tuttle you should checkout her site, Dressing Your Truth. In the past this site would have mainly appealed to women, but as of September 29th 2013 she is now helping men as well to feel and look their best.
Carol Tuttle began studying energy healing over 20 years ago. Since then, she has had the opportunity to train people across the world in energy healing to improve every aspect of their lives—from money, to health, to relationships, to overall emotional well-being. In her experience with energy healing, she observed that different people have different energies and natural movements. So, she created a program called Energy Profiling, that helps people identify and honor their true natures, strengths, and gifts. She started her fashion journey as a teenage girl who didn’t like the way she looked. She felt ugly and unattractive, which led her to despise her inner beauty at an early age. She and I have met a lot of women who have felt—and continue to feel—like she did back then and have let this turn into self hate. But she did something remarkable to change that. By applying the principles of Energy Profiling to fashion, she created the BEAUTY PROFILING℠ System and Dressing Your Truth. These programs show women (and men) how to best express their inner self in their outward appearance. Dressing Your Truth has changed the way women (and men) all over the world feel about themselves and the way they look. Visit Carol Tuttle’s Dressing Your Truth site and discover the remarkable beauty you express both inside and out. Here’s the link: http://dressingyourtruth.com/about/carol-tuttle/. She also has lots of fun YouTube videos to watch once you understand the basic principles.

Women's Prison Project
I was delighted to come across this interesting site: http://www.prisondolls.com/ about a prison project that was started five years ago. When Rebecca Roth found herself unjustly incarcerated in a Mexican prison for a crime she didn’t commit, a project was born. This amazing woman turned her lemons into lemonade and did something wonderful. Here is a short overview of the story: Due to the extremely long legal process in Mexico, and bias toward condemnatory sentences, a lot of time passes before any final outcome is ever obtained in any case. Typically, one is thrown in with all the rest—women with mental health problems may be together with hardened criminals—with all kinds of detainees, the sentenced with un-sentenced, the guilty with the innocent. Rebecca knows firsthand about fear, depression, anger, helplessness, hopelessness, and the feeling of impotence, being deprived of her freedom. She was a foreigner with little command of the Spanish language, a most stressful problem when she was trying to defend herself in a Spanish-speaking country. Constant feelings of isolation, futility and “no way out” scenarios filled her early days. She realized after the first year or so, that if she didn’t find a healthy way to funnel out all of the negative emotions, it would destroy her. That’s when Rebecca began to take notice of others around her. There were children in the prison, born to mothers who were pregnant when arrested. The babies are born and allowed to live with their mothers during the first three years of their lives. In the detention section of the prison, where Rebecca lived, a baby was born, “Lupita," a darling little girl who had no toys whatsoever. An idea formed in Rebecca's head to make Lupita a doll. The doll was to have orange hair and violet eyes with red lips and freckles. She made this doll which turned out to be the prototype of the "Original Friends" dolls. Lupita loved her doll from the first moment she laid eyes on her. She named it “Mia”, which means “mine” in Spanish. Then, a year or so later, Rebecca was talking with another prisoner named, Esmeralda about the dolls and they decided to make more. Esmeralda came up with the name “Original Friends” and thus was born this unique collaboration. They began production in July, 2008, and sold their first doll to the director of the prison on September 16, 2008. They have pledged never to repeat any of the designs so every doll is truly one-of-a-kind. The materials used include: fabric, ribbons, lace, buttons, paints, broken jewelry, odds and ends, seed pearls, and any other materials their imagination says can be used on a doll. All dolls have underwear, an outfit, jewelry, and some "special" touch that makes them unforgettable. People comment and marvel at the level of their intricate details. Rebecca has since been released from prison being found not guilty. She spends her days stirring up awareness of the plight of the women in prison, and selling dolls to the public made by the team of ladies still in prison. Funds received from the sale of the dolls is divided between the women working on the project. This affords Rebecca the means to continue to get out the message, and it provides for the women still in prison to be able to afford personal needs which are not provided. But most of all it gives the women hope, improving their self-esteem and dignity that they can contribute a quality product to society, something many of them didn’t have before landing in prison. It will be well worth your while to check out the site and possibly even buy a doll. You can read the whole story here. (http://www.prisondolls.com/about-original-friends-dolls.html) It all started one Christmas when Alec Johnson wanted an iPad, iPhone and MacBook for Christmas. When finding this out and knowing none of his neighbor’s kids would be getting such presents his dad and Mom had a better idea and took some steps to give Alec a little bit more of an education about the realities of life, that’s when they came up with the idea of feeding the homeless.
On a December Sunday, in their small kitchen, they made 54 egg and cheese burritos and went to downtown San Diego to feed the homeless. At first, Alec thought it was a punishment to teach him a lesson, but to his surprise it turned out to be fun. Since then the group has expanded and they formed the non-profit call Hunger2Help. Each Sunday, the boys, fondly called the “Burrito Boyz,” and a group of regular volunteers made up of kids and adults, start their morning at dawn, to crack, scramble and wrap 450 egg burritos, then head downtown where hundreds of men and women line up waiting. They also give out clothes and water. Mr. Johnson was shocked at what happened with this little project. He said in a news article, “It just took us doing something, taking action, and I think if you do that with anything in life, just take that first step, it’s amazing what can happen, what the opportunities are ahead of you.” Here's the link to find out more about what they are doing: http://www.hunger2help.com/ |
