My Independence Report

Lisa Fairman's incredible success story

Girl Power Begins! As a mompreneur, I wanted to create a company that encourages girls to be strong, active and goal driven. I was born with a heart defect that limited my activity level. After a number of heart surgeries, I set a goal to have an active lifestyle. So far, I have beat the odds and have run 25 marathons and three 50k's. I am currently training for my first 50 miler. I want my children to learn the importance of hard work and perseverance on the field as an athlete as well as all aspects of their lives. I have used coaching as a way to encourage and impart the things I have learned that ultimately, you can overcome the odds. Through dance, gymnastics and sports, girls learn to be assertive, work as a team and test their abilities and strength. In the words of Shalane Flanagan, "Keep your head up, keep your heart strong," I want girls who wear my products to feel pride, feel assertive, feel the sense of team and above all, feel they can beat the odds while maintaining a sense of kindness for others.As an entrepreneur, I wanted to take the passion I have had in discovering and building out lines of children’s and women’s clothing and active-wear for large department stores and create a line of girls sportswear that is ecologically sound and equally socially aware. Moreover, I wanted to create a brand that empowers girls to be their best and test their limits. I also wanted to create a fit that moves with the body and allows each girl to shine in her own sense of style. Our fabrics are bold, trend driven and inspiring. Our leotards are of the highest quality and designed and hand sewn in Washington state. Through Girl Power Sport, we have expanded to girls athletic apparel that can take you on and off the field.Finally, Girl Power also means changing the world through kindness and giving back to the society that allows them to compete. Many companies say they are socially aware and where we differ is our promise that we will always give at least $1 to the charity each leotard represents. All of the charities share our belief in molding strong, courageous and kind young women.Live to your full potential and test your limits! Girl Power Sport thanks you for your support!

Matt Shea, author and life observer

About Matt
Matt Shea is a developing author having published nine books. He is greatly inspired by the writings of Andy Griffith and focuses on the common folk that small towns are made of.
He credits the success of his first book, "The Groundskeeper And Other Short Stories" to his family. The values that were instilled throughout his childhood gave him the strong sense of justice that is conveyed through his writings. The Shea family is only an average American family from an average neighborhood. Their secret was that they were close knit and accepted others.
Matt's mother, Vyerl set an example of being self sacrificing; having never placed herself first. She always cared about the feelings of others, no matter who they were. She even sponsored many foster children despite having a family of eight. During the holidays, the Roman Catholic mom would also have a Hanukkah bush for their Jewish friends. There were years when the family would make Christmas gifts and personally deliver them to seniors in rest homes.
The very table that Matt writes all of his stories on came from a childhood neighbor, Netta Wilson. Through time, Netta had to be relocated to assistant living due to deteriorating health. Vyerl never forgot that she and Netta traveled to see the Vatican together. Care packages, visits, and transporting Netta to spend Sundays at their home became a ritual until her last day. When she passed away, Matt was bequeathed an antique table from Netta. A priceless heirloom that he regards as sacred.

Brian D. Ridgway, an amazing man on a mission of love

I’m not a healer, a teacher, or a guru.I’m just a “reminder”, here to remind you of what you already – and always – know.Maybe, like me, you’ve spent a ton of money, time and energy on self-help, personal development work, and “spiritual” approaches, hoping to finally “find” your happiness, freedom, power and peace. Perhaps you’ve had some positive results, but the deep scars and pains remain.Maybe, like me, you have spent a lot of time, energy and money on diving into the “deep stuff” and, finding yourself still stuck, you wonder if there might be something wrong with you – that maybe you are “broken” in some way.

Natasha Venter Psychic Medium and intuitive

Hello and Welcome! I’m delighted for you to know who I am and how Life’s experiences aided in my spiritual growth.
The Universe has given me many spiritual gifts of psychic medium insight, then through life I have learned to listen deeper to the angels.
Looking back to when I was a child; I remember being born, having my guide Peter as a best friend, later to find out he was known as St. Peter.
Then in 1993, my beloved father passed away without physically seeing my first son who was born six weeks later. Three years later, in 1997, I received the gift of my second son.Devastatingly, three weeks after his birth, my loving mother was diagnosed with a terminal illness.
My parents’ passing, the passing of others close to me, all coinciding with additional major emotional experiences, threw me into days of deep ups and downs. Gratefully, the Universe stepped in. They helped me understand this was a time to release fears, emotions and negative events of Life.I wiggled forcefully through this process. What ultimately helped was I began participating in many classes with spiritual teachers. In these classes, life, my deep awakening and stepping into the next level I was receiving and learning spiritual gifts and insights. At this point I TRULY began to apply the integration of the lessons of the soul.
After several years of additional classes with spiritual teachers and Energy work such as Reiki, I truly began tuning into myself and the universe like never before. That’s when I heard the Angels, my guides, and the Universe clearer then before, ask me to step out and be a voice for them.Since then, I take life"s daily experiences/happenings and turn them into teaching moments. Also, with the channeling of Beings like Mother Earth, Archangel Azrael, and to me a new Archangel Medidone along with others.I have gained a deep knowing of trust.
I have so enjoyed sitting with many people individually or in group settings receiving and sharing messages. The Universe loves to bring assistance and opportunity for those seeking guidance when needed.
My intention is to bring the Knowing of The Universe to every connection I make.
Blessings,
Natasha Venter
