Profile Information
- What do you hope to get out of being a member of this site?
- To reach, learn, and grow with other women who like " The Little Engine That Could". Not only think they can but know they can.
- Who do you think is the most inspirational woman you know or know of and why?
- My grandmother Catherine Wedic Suhadolc. She was an immigrant to the United States. As a child she suffered a crippled hand and only went to school for a few years. Together with her husband,John, she raised 4 sons and 1 daughter. One of her sons was killed in World War II. She and her husband raised all her children to become useful, hard working and proud to be Americans. Her grand children all went to college. She volunteered for the Red Cross and marched with many other women in order to fight for a woman's right to vote. She stood up for her principles when it was dangerous to do so. She has long been an inspiration to me.
- About Me:
- "Positively Passionate About People" describes me. I have always been involved in people oriented occupations.
I am passionate about helping others earn the money they need to acquire the things they want to live the way they choose.
I am a NETWORKER, PODCASTER, LEADER, and COACH.
I am a WIFE, MOTHER, and GRANDMOTHER.
OTHERS comment on my COMMITMENT, CONSISTENCY, and SUPPORT to my team. I am THERE for THEM.
Yes... I have some EDUCATION which has been a great asset.
I earned a BA in Education ( Augustana College) and a MA (Central Michigan University) in counseling. I have been able to teach, coach, and help foster the amazing potential of others.
I have VOLUNTEERED for a few causes....women issues, with BOY & GIRL SCOUTS, food drives, and SCHOLARSHIP committees for continuing EDUCATION of young women and numerous fund raising for many causes.
ADVENTURE has been a part of my life. I have been a passenger in the AIR FORCE'S C 5, C 130, and KC135. Flying is a whole new experience across the Atlantic Ocean in a sling, webbed seat with ear plugs to help drown out the noise. It is also a unique experience climbing a rope ladder while 3 months pregnant into a plane as tall as a 4 story building.
ADVENTURE is also driving a 20 passenger van full of exuberant 3 and 4 year old children.
I am passionate about my three grandchildren and they are definitely the reward for surviving the "terrible two's", driver education, and teen age angst of my own children.
I've been employed for over 30 years in various types of people oriented professions. Day Care DIRECTOR for a La Petite Academy, Elementary TEACHER & school COUNSELOR, insurance claims ANALYST, Head Start social worker, bookkeeper, PODCASTER, all demonstrate a continued involvement with the interests and needs of people of all ages.

This week I'd invite you to take some time out for self reflection and consider the following question:
When did you last revisit the larger picture of your life?
I look forward to hearing more about each of you.

Thank you for your compliments about my wedding pictures.
So sorry that I haven't been online lately because my computer twice being infected by virus then other
things to do. I hope you'll forgive me.
I would love to be friend with you but the system said mine has reached 100 friends, so maybe you can add me instead ?
May God bless you Pamala and I am looking forward
to get to know you.
In His Love,
Suzana
Thank you for your nice and thoughtful compliments in regard
to my wedding picture. My husband has passed away on March
7, 2008 from Acute Leukemia, so now I live alone with my
Jack Russell dog as my only companion...
I am looking forward to get to know more about you, Pamala.
Have a nice day and may God bless you....
Love in Christ,
Suzana

Just thought I'd pop past and say Hi. It's been a bit frenetic here in Perth, so sorry I've been a bit absent.

Thank you for the message. I have just updated my photo with the two things I love the most..reading and coffee. Your life sounds very interesting and I would like to hear more. I began work in childcare but ended up working in community organisations for marginalised groups of people and I am interested in issues related to women, especially in the workplace.
