Issue 34 Tribute Magazine

Editor’s Note It has been a journey and an adventure this last five years in business! When I began, I had no idea how life changing the decision to publish an anthology would be. It was an honor to help so many to share their stories with the world.

Our words are powerful and we need to recognize this fact. We need to start using them to change this world we live in. Speak up for the voiceless. Speak up for injustice. Speak up for what is right! And never be silent on issues that are important to you! Find your passion. Find your purpose and never look back. Let your words lead you and guide you on your mission.

If we are true to ourselves and use our words wisely, we can create the world we dream of. A world of love and peace. A world better for the next generation.

So, pick up your pen, open your mouth and share your story!

She is a true Visionary and testament to overcoming.

“I had 50 stories in an anthology we were creating together that needed to be published. The publisher took the money and left us all just standing there; and this included me! So, I listened to what God was saying to me and took a leap of faith.” “Sometimes we just have to jump and trust that it will work out.” ~Teresa Hawley Howard Moving forward from the unfortunate situation caused by her publisher at the time, Teresa stepped up and stepped out in a time of chaos and created an empire of her own and she helped all the authors that were caught in this situation, with this publisher and moved them forward along with her; leaving no one behind! Not only did she overcome but she brought everyone attached to the situation forward as well.

Sheryl Y. Ragland Strategic Success Speaking and Coaching

I am inspired by living a life that I designed on my own terms. That desire empowers and motivates me to inspire and support other women to pursue their dreams by gaining clarity on their goals, passion and purpose.

When I first decided to take a leap of faith to be an entrepreneur, it all seemed like a dream. I was a bit afraid; it was uncomfortable and scary. However, after you move past the fear, put a plan, structure and systems in place and get your first few clients, those feeling begin to diminish little by little. When you are able to experience your dreams, the freedom and flexibility it allows you to have, you continue to put in the work to build your business to have the life style you desire.

I grew up in poverty, in the housing projects of New York City. I was surrounded by drugs in my home and exposed to violence. I was problematic in school. I became a mother at the age of 20. I promised, with the help of God that I would do everything I could not to repeat that cycle and environment for my child.

With a lot of hard work, perseverance and challenges I pushed my way through school, earned three degrees and ultimately became a elementary school principal now, retired. My why is to be able to create a legacy for my child and family. My why is to bring every woman along this journey to inspire and empower them to follow their dreams.

Sheryl Ragland is an Author, Entrepreneur, Empowerment Speaker, Purpose Coach and Spiritual Leader.

She is the Founder and CEO of Strategic Success a thriving consultation corporation for leaders and educators. She has been sought after to speak at multiple conferences and trainings. She is passionate about motivating and empowering women to dream big while embracing their purpose. When she is not working, Sheryl enjoys traveling, spending time with her family and writing.

Spotlight Dr. Roxanne Howe-Murphy

Roxanne Howe-Murphy, EdD, #1 International Best-Selling Author, Founder, Deep Living Institute and Deep Coaching Institute.

With a background in rehabilitation and higher education, I felt a calling to bring forth deeper work. For over 20 years, I’ve been engaged in research on the human condition, teaching, writing, leading retreats internationally, and coaching. With this depth of experience and decades of my own inner work, I’ve helped seekers of all ages recognize and unhook from the inner personality mechanisms that keep them stuck or unfulfilled while engaging in practices that lead to deeper levels of satisfaction and authentic empowerment. This is my third book on the life transformations that are possible, practical and profound, using the Enneagram as a vehicle for experiencing freedom from the compulsions of the personality and greater levels of presence.

I live in New Mexico, USA, and love the amazing beauty of the area, the diverse cultural riches and the astounding array of artistic expressions that humble and inspire me.

What inspired you to write your book?

There is a great desire in the hearts of so many people to grow and evolve, yet that desire is often stymied, and it can be difficult to understand why. I wanted to address this challenge to help readers realize that the resolution to much of the human angst is resolvable.

Deep hurt runs through the veins of individual lives and in the collective human experience. This suffering, which is expressed in many forms, is rooted in a disconnect between one’s inner depths and the overwhelm of life’s demands. In the over ten years since I started writing the original edition of this book, there’s been a profound increase in social, economic, environmental, and political upheavals that magnify this division.

What we need, what so many seek, is a relationship to our integrated, whole nature. It has never been more important for we humans to reconnect with the deeper truths of our nature. When we do so, we discover and build our capacities for using our unique life force for our own highest good, and for the good of the collective.

The Enneagram is often narrowly described as a personality typing system, but when used fully, as it is in Deep Living, it gives us a map for healing the inner divisions, awakening from our most restricted and confined existence so that we may recover our liberated and expansive nature. Thus, I was inspired to offer a new edition of this book in service of healing and wholeness.

What do you want others to get out of your book?

It is my hope that readers will feel that their real inner experience has been recognized and named, perhaps for the first time, and with that, they experience relief that they are not alone in the world. They discover their unique path to recovering their wholeness.

I hope that this book will be used as a valued guide to life—a book that will serve as a companion, a resource, a reference, and that will be well-used time and time again, to support readers in feeling more at home in themselves. My great wish for all who read this book is that they will continue to experience increasingly expansive love and presence in their lives. It is not only possible, but also probable to have this experience on a regular basis. And it is absolutely practical.

Who is your audience?

I have found that there is a range of people in my audience who share the common thread of realizing that the external world cannot provide them with the answers they seek about life. My readers are curious about and committed to going below the surface of life to understand themselves better, be more at ease with themselves and have more effective and satisfying relationships. Those who consider themselves to be on a spiritual quest tend to carry lingering questions about their authentic nature or hope to have an inner hunger met. Most of my readers are women, but an increasing number of men are exploring the big questions about the territory of the inner life.

Are you planning another book?

I am in the midst of writing a book on an entirely new body of work that I call EnneaCrossings™, which has been in development since 2012. It brings together two powerful ancient symbols of conscious awakening: The Enneagram and the cross-cultural cross. This integrated symbol is an invitation to our awakening heart and experiencing the dynamism of our inherent interconnectedness.

I am very excited about it, and have been leading retreats on this work for the last several years.

#1 Best Selling book, Deep Living with the Enneagram: Recovering Your True Nature (revised and updated) is available for purchase in print and Kindle on Amazon and other online booksellers and can be ordered from your favorite indie bookstore. https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Living-Enneagram-Recovering-Revisedebook/dp/B07ZHMLJVV/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1OH6X7IEPX2UE&keywords=deep+living+with+the+ennea gram&qid=1582570069&s=books&sprefix=Deep+Living%2Caps%2C213&sr=1-2 https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/deep-living-with-the-enneagram-roxanne-howemurphy/1135087903

Create times of inner quiet and solitude in order to become more attuned to the authentic urgings from your inner being. Learn to discern between these often-quieter authentic messages and the constricting, editing, and louder warnings that are symptoms of an active inner critic. If you are called to write, start now. Put pen to paper or fingers to computer keys without attachment to any outcome. Write first for yourself.

Spotlight Rennu Dhillon

“Behind every confident child who believes in themselves, is a parent who believed in them first.” ~Rennu Dhillon

I was born in Mombasa, Kenya. I moved to United Kingdom where I went to middle and high school, and then graduated in Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy (Hons) from University of Aston, Birmingham. I moved to the United States in 1986. I joined my first husband in the business of developing food franchises. I went through a bitter divorce after 4 years (1991) due to a fraudulent and very abusive marriage. Took my 2 young babies (3 and 1) and started my life again. I did many things while fighting a custody battle for 9 years from running my business in skin care, to a dating matrimonial agency, a recruiting agency. I finally found my calling in child care in 2001, when I launched Genius Kids. Today we are a franchise with over 30 centers in the Bay Area. We have been recognized as the “school that shapes tomorrow’s citizens”, winning Best Preschool and Accolades by various organizations and media outlets. Our focus is “everyone is born a genius” and the goal is to develop Future Leaders, building confidence, leadership and communication. During the course of my divorce, I completed my Doctorate of Science in Naturopathy. I love education, and working with children is my calling. My hobbies are writing stories for children. I am a trained public speaker, and travel worldwide to speak at events to empower women. I host a weekly radio show called Voices, on KLOK 1170 AM, as well as Candid Conversations with Rennu Dhillon. I have co-authored the book, “Break Free to Stand in Your Power”. I

have my own YouTube Channel – With Miss Rennu. My dream is to empower children and women to find their voice and express without fear.

What would you like to spotlight? Your business? Your book? Your Event?

I am a complete package of my business, Genius Kids, and my voice which is reflected in my business, my YouTube Channel, and my writings. I would probably say spotlight my book which indirectly will spotlight my other work.

Tell us about it.

I am still undecisive on the name and waiting for Rebecca’s feedback. My initial choice of a name is, “Stop Controlling, Start Coaching”, a parental guide on how to raise confident leaders. I felt this book is necessary since there is so much pressure placed on the academics, that parents forget the importance of soft skills, and developing what I have named as the 13 critical “C” skills. My book explains how to develop these skills using a coaching style of parenting, and creating a more - healthier environment at home amongst all the stress we are enduring.

Tell me something you have overcome or success you have achieved.

I have had to face many obstacles in my life especially after I immigrated to the United States. I endured an abusive marriage where both my former husband and employee broke my trust. Being of Indian origin, divorce was looked upon as taboo in our culture so I had to fight many battles for custody with little or no support from my Indian community. I chose not to play victim and my approach in life is that destiny lies in my hands, and the choices of the path I wish to raise my daughters was mine. I used the confidence and leadership skills my parents had instilled in me growing up, to restart my life and build it again from scratch. I have raised 2 wonderful daughters, as well as opened many successful businesses. As a minority today I own and manage a successful franchise, which is self-funded, and a family venture.

What would you like to achieve in 2020?

Get past Covid-19 and put it past me, write and launch a successful book and YouTube Channel. I am

My favorite makeup tips and tricks Janvier Guidry I am going to start off with some priming tricks and work my way through each step of makeup. I have always had really larges pores, which becomes a problem when applying foundation because it creates holes in your makeup. One of my lifesavers when priming is to start off with a good moisturizer for your specific skin type, then follow it with a blurring primer. Blurring primer essentially fills in all of those pores on your face and gives you a photo ready and smooth look. My next tip is to always apply powder before your foundation, yes, before. As silly as it may sound, it does wonders for the foundation application and makes for a smoother and fuller look. When applying foundation, always use a brush for the application part then follow behind with a sponge. Next, we will tackle eyebrows. There is so much confusion as to how to properly fill in your brows. As someone with naturally thick brows, if I’m going for an everyday look, brow gel is my go-to. Brow gel allows me to brush in some color to give my brows a fuller look.

If I’m doing my makeup for a night out, I like to use a pomade. A pomade is just a little pot of eyebrow gel and I like to use this with a very thin brush. I use this thin brush and outline from the middle at the bottom and top of my brow to give it a sharp outline and fill it in. Then after the middle part is filled in, I take my brow gel and brush that in at the start of my brows, ultimately giving my brows a cleaner look.

As far as mascara goes, do not just go up with it, when applying also apply from the top of your lashes to give them a fuller look and make sure to put focus on the tips of your lashes to elongate them.

Next, we will discuss contouring and highlighting. When highlighting, I take an extremely light concealer and put three dots under my eyes, one on either temple, and on my nose and under my lip, then I blend.

When contouring, I like to use a darker concealer shade and put that at the tops of my cheekbones and around my hairline and my jaw line, and blend it. After you blend in all of your concealers, come back with a powdered bronzer and go over what you just contoured to give a more chiseled look. When applying highlight, always apply at the very tops of your cheekbone, not over your blush or contour, so that you get the full glowing effect. These are my favorite makeup tips and tricks, and I hope you all enjoy and try them out.

About the Author

Hello. My name is Janvier Guidry. I am 19 years old and attend Louisiana State University. I have been an avid makeup addict since I was in middle school. I love messing around with new eye shadow colors and trying out new makeup tricks so I am here to teach you guys a few things I have learned.

Tell me something you have overcome or success you have achieved.

One of the secrets to thriving in life instead of only surviving is in overcoming fear and failure. Failure is not who we are, failure is not the outcome or the final destination, failure is simply the learning process as part of the journey forward to success. I help people process failure so that they can understand the many gifts---yes I said gifts! —that failure offers as life happens for us (not to us!). Remember, failure has no alibi!

As a result of our efforts specific to publishing, The Refractive Thinker® series remains an influencing series for the doctoral scholar. We have won 23 awards, we have many #1 Amazon Best Sellers, and there are now 21 books in the series, with Vol. XIX Social Media publishing October 23, 2020. When we choose success, we choose to overcome fear and failure. For this series, we choose to share the wonders of the process of success through the research of our featured contributing scholars.

What would you like to achieve in 2020?

I would like to see each volume of The Refractive Thinker® as a doctoral course requirement and as a recommendation for further reading for universities around the globe. Please help us get the word out. With textbooks increasing in price every year, The Refractive Thinker® offers 3 versions—print ($18.95), digital ($9.99), and an individual e-Chapter ($3.99) ---a bargain--considering the amazing

doctoral research contained within the pages of each volume.

Spotlight Kimberly Tobin I am a highly intuitive medium and channel using my gifts to help others fight their fears in finding themselves. The planet needs all of us to be our true selves and that path can be one of the scariest experiences. I walk with my clients, calling in their team of Guides and Angels as they discover their true paths and learn to offer their gifts to the world.

What inspired you to write your book?

I have been fortunate to attend several summits and retreats that have delivered so much valuable information. However, once I left the retreats or finished the summits, I found it hard to incorporate the wealth of ideas into my daily life. Being the storyteller that I am, I wanted to use my gifts to create a story showing others how my characters used different methods to navigate familiar situations, easy and difficult.

What do you want others to get out of your book?

I hope this book inspires them to try different types of prayer work for big and little situations they experience.

Who is your audience?

My audience is anywhere from teens to crones.

Are you planning another book?

Yes, actually the second book of this series is tentatively set to be released in May 2021.

Where can we get your book?

Amazon

How can we follow or get in touch with you? www.kimberlytobin.com; https://www.instagram.com/mystical.ceo/ https://www.facebook.com/Mystical.CEO/

What is one thing you would tell others if they want to write?

Go for it! It will stretch you farther than you can imagine but the world needs you right now. To answer your question before you even ask: Yes, you do have something special to share with all of us!

Spotlight Cathy Davis

“It’s not about how well your book sells . . . but it IS all about how well your book sells YOU!”

I am the Founder & CEO of Davis Creative Publishing Partners. A veteran branding/communications professional, Cathy spent the majority of her early corporate career marketing financial services to highnet-worth individuals. After too many downsizings, Cathy founded Davis Creative as a boutique marketing services agency in January 2004 and added publishing to their offerings @ 2008.

Experts, speakers, trainers, and influencers hire us to use the power of publishing to build their brand, grow their business, and make a difference in the lives of the people they reach.

Tell me something you have overcome or success you have achieved.

When I started Davis Creative, I had little knowledge of how to run a business, let alone how to grow and make a profit. Over the past 16 years, I’ve learned a LOT. I’ve learned to . . .

•

ask for help when I have no clue what I’m doing.

•

rely upon the experts when it comes to bookkeeping, finances, and taxes.

•

trust my intuition, especially when it comes to people.

•

never give up, be resilient, and believe in my vision.

The stage has been set for 2020 to be a profitable year for us. I could not have gotten here without GRIT: GROWTH (personal and professional), RESILIENCE, INTENTION, and TENACITY.

What would you like to achieve in 2020?

Refine a few internal processes . . . we’ve grown quite a bit the last 18 months and we need to re-stabilize the foundation.
