The Calm After the Storm
It’s Thursday and I am so happy! The week started off in dismay, and now the sun has finally started peeping through the clouds. It never ceases to amaze me how one day things are turned upside down, and the next day runs as smooth as pudding! This week was full of excellent surprises. Not only did I land a great interview, but also got the biggest order for body butter EVER. YIPPEE SKIPPIE! I am taking a break from making the gift bags, and I have to say this is a proud moment. So to anyone who… Continue

Frazzled
I have an important meeting on Monday morning and instead of preparing I have been eating myself into a coma. When I woke up I started with 4 oatmeal raisin cookies with a cup of tea. Then for lunch I picked up about 3 cups of rice with a rich vegetable stew at a Senegalese restaurant. You would think this was a healthy choice but the meal was heavy with palm oil. Not too long after I was staring at my draft proposal while shoving more cookies in my mouth along with a liter of coke. I am not a b… Continue

We live in New Mexico, Albuquerque- there is an entire film production here but we need a huge Exec. Producer that can help us. Thanks any connections might help as they might know some big Hollywood Producers.
I am working in a document about unemployment and the economic crisis. I am sure we have to reorganize the marketing strategies and reinvent our economy.

Come back, come out where ever you are,
The White House Project is a forum for women leaders and stars.
There is plenty of social media but none quite like this,
A special place for women to edify, protest, lament or share in bliss.
Thinking of you all especially during my prayers today.
So I am taking a proactive moment to send blessings your way,
Life zips by quickly and exceedingly fast,
I am not quite sure if I will be here tomorrow or if my ailing heart will last.
I don’t want another moment to pass without saying to you,
How appreciative I am --thank you for being who you are--- and for all you do!
You are incredible women of courageous and noble deeds,
You have nurtured many souls and planted invaluable life-changing seeds.
May your life be anointed with abundance and happiness,
I am sending you all my love, special encouragement and my very best.
Always & Forever
Elizabeth Asahi Sato, Women Rule 2008!
Thinking of you during my prayers today.
So I am taking a moment to send blessings your way,
Life zips by quickly and oh so fast,
I am not quite sure if my heart will last.
I don’t want another moment to pass without saying to you,
How appreciative I am --thank you for being who you are and for all you do!
You are incredible women of noble deeds,
You have nurtured many souls and planted invaluable life-changing seeds.
May your life be anointed with abundance and happiness,
I am sending you all my love and my very very best.
Always,
XO Asahi
I think it is great what you doing with the women in Africa. I have a cosmetic company and I would love to talk to you about how I can purchase shea butter for my products from the women in Africa. Please contact me at eunicecofie@hotmail.com.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

You are doing an awesome job. I love to know more about your product line and get me some of your good shea butter. Please keep me informed.

Hello!, it sounds like you have an awesome concept! I have traveled to several countries in West Africa, and saw the potential of the beautiful women in that country. Would love to get a sample of the butter. Keep me informed, would love to know how I can help.

I was just today reunited with my shea body butter after sending it to myself through a friend in New York. It is heaven! Thank you for the beautiful gift.

I just responded to one of your questions in Women Entrepreneurs, but just googled your site. I am reviewing right now. You should add your web address into your profile:)
Continued success,
