Creativity, Kindness, Making a difference

Creativity, Kindness, Making a difference……wishes for Loiswagner.com  blog.   A Blog…..place to give valuable information, exchange ideas, inspire yourself and others, start a dialogue……talk!  I know how to design jewelry, create a great visual image…..but the thought of writing and providing something of value to say is quite daunting. I have lots of thoughts but I’ve generally kept them for the dinner table or lively conversations with friends and family.

So here are the things I am interested in…..making a difference, giving back to the world, being responsible for your own actions.  The spirituality of life without being overly religious, the inner spirit and the power to continue in the face of adversity.  The love of ancient symbols from all cultures and how they speak to us today and give us the encouragement and Symbology to move forward.  We may all come from different backgrounds but the desire to do well for our family, get along with neighbors and do our best in our line of work and especially the way we show kindness.

As a advanced stage three Breast Cancer survivor…..the gift is emerging from facing death’s door, knowing you can’t control all the things you thought you could and having a new found appreciation of living in the moment.  I would love to connect and share personal stories, new philosophies, and the latest research, alternative health benefits for staying healthy and how to keep your head on straight.

Having studied and worked in wholesale and retail environment my whole career…..I have lots of observations about business, the future of business and how ,whats important in business today can be so much more meaningful.  I have worked with many major retailers and would like to share my insights and observations.  The good, the bad and even some of the ugly…..

I also am frustrated with such a great country as the United States and their hard-working citizens being a pawn in the game of corporate greed.  The banks, mortgage companies, and stock brokers  played quite a game of poker and actually gave away our prosperity.  The lack of commitment to producing goods right here in our own country is so unfortunate.  Our lack of focus on the needs of our own taxpaying citizens and providing viable and productive work that contributes to their families bottom line and in turn all of us.

In addition I would love to show you my love of New Mexico….the creative spirit and the beauty of the creative process.  I taught art at my daughter’s grade school when she was young and so many are intimidated to express their creativity for fear of not being good or being judged by others.  I always told the students that this is the land of no right or wrong……just have fun!   Allow yourself the privilege of being not so good at something so you can unlock and teach yourself a new skill and become better at that skill in a period of time.

In the mysteries of the internet and how one finds information in this sea of amazing info…..I look forward to sharing and talking with like minds!!!!
