We all have dreams and desires, and yet, we look around one day and say to ourselves,

"How did my life end up here?"

Sometimes, people find themselves in these strange surroundings and they feel confused or lost. What they sought to do with their life seems so distant to them from their current vantage point that they give up.

What's lacking are 3 key things: An objective per-

spective on where you are and where you want to go; A plan to get you back onto your LifePath; and, the tools and guidance to make it happen.

That is what we do.

With proper assessments, coaching, and for those who desire, hypnosis, you can once again see that vision of your life come back into focus, and reignite that vital spark on your personal LifePath.

Don't you deserve an amazing life?

Find a hobby that works for you MetroCreative

Hobbies can serve many functions. Some men and women turn their hobbies into careers, while others rely on their hobbies to provide a relaxing respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Inspiring hobbies can make life more rewarding. While many people experience some trial and error as they seek something to fill their downtime, the following are a few tips to finding a hobby that will enrich your life and maybe even the lives of others. ¡ Consider your interests. Much like you considered your interests when choosing a career path, you can benefit from doing the same when the time comes to find a hobby. If your work remains your passion, look for ways to share that passion with others. Perhaps you can teach a class at your community’s learning annex or volunteer to work with high school kids who might have expressed an interest in your line of work. If you want to leave the office behind in your downtime, consider your other interests. Avid readers may want to start a local book club, while film buffs may enjoy starting a local film appreciation group. The more passionate you are about a topic or activity, the

more likely you can turn it into a successful and rewarding hobby. ¡ Consider your needs. Another way to find a successful hobby is to consider why you want one in the first place. If your workdays tend to be hectic and you want a quiet escape, then a peaceful hobby such as painting might do the trick. If you’re looking for a hobby that can add some spice to your social life and help you meet new people, look for something that encourages teamwork or interaction with other people your age. ¡ Consider your availability. Another thing to consider when choosing a hobby is how much time you will have to pursue it. If your schedule is especially hectic or unpredictable, avoid hobbies that require a big time commitment, as such activities may prove too difficult to commit to. In such situations, a hobby that allows you to embrace it on your own time will likely prove more enjoyable than one where you must adhere to a schedule that you simply can’t honor. If you have a substantial amount of free time, then something that requires more involvement on your part might be right up your alley, whereas hobbies You deserve the that don’t require much regular participation likely won’t provide Host a girls night in and the respite or fulfillment get free gifts! you’re looking for. ¡ Consider those closest to you. Many people find that the best hobbies are the ones that allow them to spend more time with their loved ones, whether those loved ones are their own children, their parents or their close friends. Parents may want to find an activity that allows them to bond with their children, while young working Want to learn more about a consultant? professionals may want Contact: to find an activity that Jenn Reynolds provides them with 509-592-7675 opportunities to spend bit.ly/jennpureromance time with their equally busy friends.

Take a cue from successful women MetroCreative

Women had another successful year in 2015.

According to the Fortune 500 list, 2015 tied the record set for the highest number of female CEOs in America’s largest companies by revenue. Twenty-four women, including Mary Barra of General Motors, Meg Whitman of Hewlett-Packard and Ginny Rometty of IBM, made the list.

Although women make up 45 percent of the labor force and only 5 percent head Fortune 500 companies, women are making greater strides than ever before.

For example, in 1998, just one woman led a Fortune 500 company, according to Pew Research Center.

Certain traits could help propel successful women to the top. Here’s a look at some of the ways female professionals can overcome professional hurdles and make their mark. · Be passionate about what you do. Women who maintain passion about their careers are more likely to overcome any challenges and stand out in the workplace. If your profession is not stoking any passion, explore alternate career opportunities. · Recognize your strengths. Today’s professionals are less likely than their predecessors to stick with one company or line of work for their entire working lives.

But just because you change jobs or career paths does not mean your past experience is useless. Successful women know what they do best, whether it’s public speaking, writing or making sales pitches. Apply those strengths when looking for a new job or career. · Know when to ask for help. Even the most accomplished women have limitations. Asking for help when you need it can help you overcome those limitations. To be good at what you do, you first have to learn from others. Sometimes the smartest way to

overcome an obstacle is having several hands on deck to provide a boost. Thinking that the work is better left to you alone could be a mistake. Enlist help when you need it and never hesitate to ask for another perspective. · Make time for exercise. A sluggish body can make for a sluggish mind. Successful people need to be sharp, and exercise can help them maintain their mental focus. According to John J. Ratey, Ph.D., a clinical associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, muscles send hormones rushing to the brain where they mix with a substance called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF. BDNF plays a role in brain cell growth and learning. Without it, brains can’t absorb new information or grow and learn. Exercise also helps relieve stress, which can make resolutions easier to see and make tasks less overwhelming. · Go easy on yourself. While many successful people strive for perfection, achieving perfection is unlikely, if not impossible. Successful people often admit to being their own worst critics, but don’t beat yourself up if you endure some trial and error. Mistakes can be a great teacher, so use any you make to your advantage. · Don’t be afraid to take risks. Successful women are not afraid to take risks. Many may have decided they don’t fit a specific mold and want to affect change. However, calculated risks are different from reckless decisions, and it is important to recognize the difference. A calculated risk may involve starting your own business after learning the ropes in a specific field and testing the waters. Reckless behavior would be opening that business with no relevant experience.

Don’t skip ladies’ night out MetroCreative

Great friends stand by us through situations thick or thin, and may be the first ones we turn to for some extra support. But friends are good for more than honestly assessing wardrobe choices or picking you up in a rainstorm when your car breaks down. According to the Mayo Clinic, friends can be beneficial to your health. Good friends can increase your sense of purpose and boost your happiness.

Women who have close girlfriends may find that ladies’ night out is the ideal way to reconnect and find the time to let loose and have fun. When done responsibly, a ladies’ night out can make for the perfect evening. · Cut down on stress. Laughing and talking with friends can dramatically cut down on stress. A landmark UCLA study conducted in 2002 concluded that girlfriends are stress-busters for women and have an impact on their overall mood.

Oxytocin, a mood-elevating hormone, is released when women are around their friends, increasing feelings of euphoria. Considering stress can take its toll on physical and mental health, enjoying an evening out with friends can be a fun and simple way to combat stress. · Let it all hang out. Ladies’ night out allows women to put their cards on the table - whether they’re discussing mundane fashion trends or looking for some heartfelt advice. Chances are your friends will not judge you, and you won’t have to bite your tongue like you might

have to when sharing your concerns with other people. · Connect with other adults. Parents of young children may appreciate ladies’ night out for the chance to get out of the house. You also may enjoy conversations that do not focus on school or kids. Ladies’ night out is also a great opportunity to enjoy a meal, drink and/or movie without being interrupted by little ones. · Ladies’ night out can help you keep in touch with yourself. According to Irene S. Levine, Ph.D., creator of The Friendship Blog and author of “Best Friends Forever: Surviving a Break-Up With Your Best Friend,” other women shape you as a person. Female friends provide virtual mirrors that allow you to see who you are and who you want to become. Maintaining that connection to yourself can be just as important as staying connected with your friends. · Enjoy a chance to catch up in person. Many people now do the bulk of their communicating via texting or email. Ladies’ night out presents an opportunity to converse face-to-face. That means not having to exert energy trying to infer tone or meaning behind emails or wondering if those emoticons are masking something unsaid. · Have some fun. One of the key benefits of going out with girlfriends is that you’ll have your partners in crime ready to join you for a night of unbridled fun. Karaoke, dancing or crowd-watching is even better when you have friends backing you up.

#shehero stories

Written by Lewiston Tribune & Moscow-Daily News Readers

My #SheHero is my mother. My mom has not had the easy, carefree life that people could easily assume she has had when they meet her for the first time, or when they see her teaching, or when they bump into her in the grocery store.

She has worked hard for every penny, for all of her college degrees, for her community and those who cannot help themselves. She has fought for her family and has taught and guided my brother and me sternly, but always with compassion.

She believes in being a faithful, challenging and amazing wife. She believes in being a selfless and loving daughter, sister and daughter-in-law. She believes in big hugs, and treating my friends like her own children.

She believes in being curious, being real and following through with goals and dreams. She uses the word “beautiful” to define personality.

My mother is the vase of carnations left on my dresser

after a bad day, she is the hand squeeze when I didn’t know I needed that affection.

When someone tells me that I’m turning into my mother, I smile and roll my eyes. But turning into my mother means never wasting time trying to be anything I’m not, and laughing at negativity instead of letting it consume me. It means sometimes receiving less love than I give, but still loving anyway.

My mother is inspiring, intelligent and hard-working, and I know I’m not the only person who thinks of sweet Mama Mary as a hero.

-Caitlin Hites

I’m going to tell you about my grandmother, Addie Lee Humphrey. She was born July 24, 1880 in Sweetwater, Tenn. She passed away in 1972 at the age of 92. She was amazing, in my humble opinion.

seven children, but one died as a young child. Burrell built a ranch, and my grandmother raised the family. They later moved to Moscow, where she worked for Dr. Hatfield as office manager and secretary.

In 1891, she came west with her family by wagon train and then settled in Steptoe Butte. My grandmother graduated from high school up there in Steptoe in 1898 and she was the valedictorian of her class. Her speech was called, “If Not God, Then What?” She graduated from school and then became a teacher. The brick schoolhouse that still sets in Steptoe, that was where she taught, in a one-room school. She married Burrell Freeman Smith in 1905. They were married 41 years until 1946 when they divorced. She had

All this time while raising the family, she was also active in the First Presbyterian Church in Moscow and played the organ. She was a member of the Grandmother’s Club.

She did most of these things because she had to, to help support her children and see that they went to college.

I remember sitting on her lap and we would read together when I was a little tyke. My grandmother was a remarkable person.

MY SHE HERO. She’s a woman dear to my heart. My mother. I watched her manage a household and be a great wife to my father for many years. She showed devotion and love through what she did for everyone.

She grew up in the day that sports were not participated in-- she participated in them.

She grew up in the day when women did not get an education for a trade-- she learned a “new language” in Gregg shorthand and became an executive secretary and then later, at 55, took college classes.

She grew up in the day when things were supposed to be normal – stay at home mom living in a home on a perfect

#shehero Ms. Penny is my hero! Penny was my librarian all through elementary school. She is the kindest woman, and has become a great friend to my family and me.

Penny lost a daughter years before she met me, and took me under her wing when I started getting into some

cul-de-sac in California-- she agreed to uproot her family for three years and go on an adventure to a different state to support her husband so that he could receive his Phd.

She grew up in the day when women did not work outside the home-- she worked full-time with seven children.

She proved to me that anything was possible. She was my best friend.

She taught me the power of being organized to achieve, the power of education to strive, the power of love to endure.

For these reasons she is my “she hero.”

-Mary Hites

trouble at school. She even taught me how to read, and because of this reading is my favorite hobby.

Penny has the biggest spot in my heart. She’s the most positive person I have ever met, and the strongest, too!

It’s easy to say that my mom is my She Hero.

education and supported me in any way she could while I was in school.

Every day when I came home from school, my mom would be waiting for me with a snack and a prompt: “tell me about your day.”

Her mantra is to be kind, caring and giving. Treat everyone equally. Be honest and follow through with anything you begin. Never judge others. When I had my own children, I watched her also become a huge presence in my kids’ lives as a grandparent.

She has always put her children first, no matter at what cost. She stressed the importance of

Being a mother and a grandma are roles she doesn’t take lightly, and it shows in the way she cares about her family.

She would sacrifice anything for her family, and she taught me that sacrifice is a self-rewarding trait.

#shehero stories As common as the sentiment is, my largest inspiration has always been my mother. When I was four, my father drove our family to the verge of homelessness. His solution would have left my mother alone with two girls in the middle of the woods. My sister was 8 and I was 4 when she asked us if we’d like to see the desert. It wasn’t rhetorical, she’s always honored our choices. We said yes and she packed us into the car. I can still remember sitting on top of her scratchy five foot long green duffel, surrounded by blankets - she grabbed what she thought we needed and left the rest. She didn’t tell dad. It was 20 hours before he knew we were gone and 2 full days before he knew where. He wouldn’t follow us down for a year or more.

Almost immediately my mom got a job at Kmart, where her own mother worked. She stayed until they laid her off nine years later. In her time there, she simultaneously managed the Toy, Automotive, and Hardware departments by herself. Sometimes she’d moonlight at Walmart and in the last few years at the department store, she got her GED and took classes at the local community college - which she would use the Work Study program to help pay for. She made the Dean’s List every semester and eventually earned a certification in AutoCad. A full time job, work study, school, and two young girls she raised alone.

When Kmart laid her off, she applied for a position at the community college she attended. She was given a job as the assistant to a department head and two years later my sister was grown and gone, I was a freshman in high school, things were evolving. I had an opportunity to go on a two week tour of Europe the summer before I became a sophomore. She asked me to make another choice. With her tax return, I could go to Europe or we

could move back up to Idaho.

The least selfish woman in the world was letting me make a choice that would have a profound effect on both of our lives and would offer no judgement on what I chose. Dad was in prison in Phoenix, my sister was selling magazine subscriptions all over the country. It was just us and mom and I always understood each other better than anyone else we knew. So we moved. I went to a much smaller school than before, mom gave up her office job and went back into the dreaded customer service world - this time an associate at Sears. We adjusted.

She fell in love with my dad’s childhood best friend and left her job at Sears to help him manage a severe and debilitating disease which would later cause him to get a bi-lateral hip replacement in his mid-forties. She saw him through all of it while seeing me through SAT’s, college applications, choir and theatre competitions and eventually moving three hours from her to start my own life - even though she always asks me to move back home.

She now is building a home for herself with a man who, for all intents and purposes, is a father to me and after 22 years of putting every molecule of her life into her children, I finally get to see her happiness.

In February, I will be 24 - as old as she was when she had me, and I wish I could say I’ve learned everything I could have from her, but I’ve learned a lot. Most importantly that the choices you make for those that depend on you are the most important choices you will ever make and they have to be made for the right reasons.

I love that woman, ten to a thousand.
