Motherland, a film by Jennifer Steinman.

On December 1, 2006, six women from diverse backgrounds came together to take a very unique trip: a 17-day intensive pilgrimage to volunteer in rural South Africa. Prior to the journey, these six women did not know each other. However they all shared one thing in common: they had all suffered the death of a child.  “Motherland” is a documentary film that reveals what happened, and the lives that were forever changed, on this journey of hope and healing.

Thank you Jennifer, for the women’s lives that have been touched by this film and for spending time on womensville radio sharing what it was like filming.

Depression, Self doubt and fear are the villains of every woman’s life. Around every success, sabotage lurks. Around every celebration, discouragement spies, and around every step towards making a difference in the world there hides a land mine ready to expose our character defects. Be ready girls; be ready to fight these tyrants with a surefire weapon that never misses the mark. Random acts of kindness. The shield that protects every woman’s feelings of self doubt. Being generous, puts our so called problems into perspective. Caring more about the well being of another builds an immunity to depression and self doubt. It may not stop the fear, but finding a friend to perform these acts will blast most fear out of the vicinity, and will be a moment that will not be forgotten in your heart. Pick up the phone and call a woman who you know will lift your spirits and keep you on the right track.   

I truly believe that our natural gifts and talents are what guide us down the yellow brick road of a purpose laden life. There is nothing that could compare to a human being fully entrenched in living and feeling content in giving her best to her life’s purpose. You know what you love. You know what turns your crank. You and only you, know what your natural tendencies lean towards, and you know what makes your heart sing. Living a life that is entrenched in this thick and hearty soup of goodness is what all human beings were meant to do. Excuse the descriptions I just can’t help it sometimes.

Claiming your life’s purpose, on your own, is the antidote that will irradicate the nasty villains in your life.

  Every human being has a purpose here on earth.
