I have been celebrating International Women's Day for over 25 years - a day that was introduced to me when I lived in Europe as a younger woman. It is such a big deal in Europe and when I came back to live in Melb, I made it my special event to surround myself with women so we can all sing, dance and shine remembering all that women have done over the years.
I want to remind women to look within themselves and say thank you to the little girl who has walked with them when they have had memorable moments, sad moments, ecstatic moments ... The little girl who is always there supporting you to get through your day.
I invite every woman to make 8th of March a day where they unite with their soul sisters making it an even stronger force - call a friend and share, go out with a group of friends, write a gratitude note to all the women who have supported the freedom of women's rights.
We are where we stand because of all the women in the past who took on challenges So we can enjoy the freedom we do today.
Most of all I am grateful to my mum who had a wish for all her daughters to continue in the path of education. To you my dear mum, I dedicate this upcoming International Women's Day!

Make your past part of your future...
Life moves so quickly, 60 seconds in every minute, 60 minutes in every hour and 24 hours in each day. I don't know about you but there are days I wish time would stand still and today was one of those days.
I was transported to a time and place that I hadn't visited in my mind if not for my beautiful students that I met up with today. Why is it that we forget who we were in our early years basing our life merely on our experiences of only a few years back. If I asked you to transport yourself to a time and place that you inspired others where would that be and who were you with.
If not for courageous students who had an inner calling to reunite with me I would've forgotten the girl that lived within me in my 20's. For those who don't know that since the age of 5 I always wanted to be a teacher - I remember telling everyone that one day I would be a teacher - I never told anyone what kind of teacher I wanted to be but today my students shared experiences they remember that inspired them to always remember me. Why is it that sometimes we forget who we are or who we have inspired. As my students greeted me they called me Miss Gianevsky - it immediately transported me to a time where each day meant so much and seemed to last forever. A time when my grandmother visited my classroom to inspire my kids and a time I still lived with my parents. My students still remember my parents and the names of my sisters.
I cannot explain in words how time stood still for me today - being surrounded by love of students who reminded me that I am still the dedicated teacher I always was and eager to love, laugh and care for the young girls who had become women in their own right with kids the same age as they had been when they first met Miss Gianevsky. One of my students remembers a book I bought her for her 6th birthday that she still has. Why do we forget the impact we have on others rather remembering at times lost dreams and focusing on them.
I realized today that Miss Gianevsky has always been the same - loves children, loves people and sharing all she is passionate about. I realized that even though I had become a Homeopath at the core of me lived a teacher eager to share all she had learnt. It wasn't until today that I realized my love of teaching was ignited long ago but if not for my gorgeous students I would've forgotten the dreams a younger Miss Gianevsky had.
My students today took time out to be with a teacher they loved and added to their positive memories and for this I am eternally grateful. They got to meet Miss Gianevsky again and this time they will sit with me to learn the tools to become stronger, healthier and more focused women sitting again with a teacher they let into their hearts again.
Thank you my dear students for reminding me of all my achievements as a teacher and the impact I have ad on your lives. I love you lots and am rewarded in knowing you again.
If you could go back to a time and place that was fun and filled with promise when and where would it be. For me it has to be the start of my career at Wembley Primary School meeting my amazing students. I thank you girls for igniting my flame and inspiring me to continue running my seminars and workshops always. I am so pleased I decided to become a teacher!

You are only as strong as your TEAM
I have always believed that being part of a team is much easier than working on own. I have always loved to communicate and brainstorm with like minded women. For me, sharing has always led to inspiration. I realized what a team meant to me when I was no longer part of a team.
A few years ago I decided to disconnect from my team , my support, my lifeline as I felt it was time to make changes in all that I was involved in. The first few months, all was fine as I was setting goals and reminding myself how good it was to break free..this wore off when I didn't have my team around me to share. I longed to ask a question, have a second opinion and even be asked how did my weekend go. Sometimes as women we forget how important it is to nurture the teams that we find make a regular appearance in our daily lives.
A fab young woman reminded me today that we are only as strong as our team and I thought that when I left my team a few years ago, I lost my oxygen that kept me going all those years creating the unique medicines and writing all the educational material on a range of products that have always been close to my heart.
I've only been back in my office for 2 days and already I feel the positive impact of my team. The connectedness is felt from afar and I rejoice in all this provides. My contacts become my teams contacts, my celebrations become my team's celebrations, my company's growth is because of the team effort and so it goes on.
When you are part of a team that validates your ideas and allows you to ignite the internal flame, you become a shooting star able to sprinkle your ideas far and wider than you ever planned.
All it took today for my team to connect with one driving force, was 5 minutes and it started with respect in knowing that my team can also benefit.
So, to all you women who work on your own and keep lot's to yourselves, I invite you to step out of your individual mold and hear what your team has to say - it could be " music to your ears" - a song that you may have never heard if not for your team.
Next time you are working away at your desk, trying to meet deadlines and your brain is crying for some inspiration, connect with your team and before you know it your stress and anxiety will be surprisingly eased.
To be a valuable team player you need to keep a happy heart, remember everyone has a right to their own opinion and to show an interest in all your team members are involved in.
Keeping your team healthy and happy will ensure that the team will always be there for you.
Happy team connecting for a healthier and happier 2012 Remember to live well, eat well & nurture your team....let me know how you go....

What makes me happy?
Women sharing and caring makes me happy no matter where I am in the world. Being born a woman to me means supporting another woman to reach her dream, listening with an open mind, being grateful on a daily basis and losing myself in clothing - I love clothes, love the way fabric feels on my body.
On days when I am tired, I find taking my homeopathic medicines, a vitamin B and some bright pieces of clothing allows me to get through my day. Over the years I have found that we as women need to embrace each day as time does fly.
I thought to myself when I was a younger woman I never really appreciated the body and mind that walked with me as much as I could have. It wasn't until the other day when I was trying on some jeans that I realized how much my body had changed. I said to myself from this day forward I will love my body, mind and health as it is a gift.
As I move through the years I know myself so much more and I say to women I meet-"if you don't blow your own trumpet, you might wait a long time before someone gives you the praise you deserve"
Step up and sing on your platform as you get ready for the best Xmas you have organized and surrounded yourself with women who inspire you. Seize the moment and realize it is all we have. Live in gratitude by acknowledging your achievements. You are unique after all and tell the world right now.
I feel blessed that I can continue networking and meeting women I wouldn't have otherwise met had it not been for my love of Homeopathy & Clothing!
Keep shining today and always, Susan
I thank you all for sharing and caring

Staying positively upbeat this festive season
After hearing Xmas is only 13 days away, I wonder where the year has gone. I start thinking I haven't even started wrapping my gifts or making my plans for this festive season.this brings me towhees this message is heading. By focusing on what needs to be done we forget all that we have done in 2011.
Have you been kind to yourself this year?
Have you been grateful to family and friends for their support in 2011?
Have you shared your heart with loved ones?
Have you smiled when all seems to be going the wrong way?
Have you made said thank you for your journey through 2011....
If we are a ball of cells and our issues live in our tissues - staying positively upbeat is part of moving towards a healthier self daily. We forget that we are totally responsible for our health each second of each day we are given. Only when we take responsibility for staying upbeat can we feel the rhythm of health echoing in our cells.
When we lose our rhythm it is always good to ask our internal self for guidance - our intuition kicks in and we are needing to be gentle with the cells that make up who we are. Taking a break from all we are swallowing to stay healthy needs to be addressed.
If we are low in energy best to stay on A healthy diet, select tissue salts that build a healthy platform and take Homeopathis that create the dance uniting mind, body and soul.
Don't you think we owe it to ourselves to stay upbeat this festive season. This is the Xmas gift we can give ourselves - it beats all the expense. How can an expensive outfit sit beautifully on us when the rhythm in our cells is not upbeat.
Begin your 7 day plan today to stay upbeat and enjoy the festive season.
Honor the self and the self will always be there for you. Enjoy, Susan

Creating a health platform for the rest of your life
What a wonderful night I had Teaching last night in WA - I met 75 people I had never met before and before the end of the evening we had exchanged hugs. The love and warmth in the room was most uplifting for me and it enabled me to do what I love best - inspiring women to move closer to their optimum health. If only we realized that we are totally responsible for our own health at all times. I reminded the group yesterday that our cells speak to us daily and all we need to do is be there for ourselves at all times...must dash now. Enjoy all that you are and all that you do! Susan

Finding time to be kind to everyone you meet
I have had the best day sharing and caring all that lives in my heart. I find that when we love what we do, we just want to share it with others. I met an amazing Japanese tea merchant and the care and time he took to pour and inspire me to try his tea was such an uplifting experience. In a space of 1/2 an hour I had sampled 4 different types of green tea and all was part of an experience because of his passion. I ended up buying some of his favorite green tea and the smile on his face was contagious as though he knew that his tea would inspire me throughout my day. It was knowing in his face that was what touched my heart.
There are moments in our day that we can uplift another soul and the gift is immense. What if making someone else's day is more about you rather than the other person. Injecting happiness in another can have numerous health benefits - beyond what we can measure initially. By continuing to Share our passion, we continue living in our passion- a wonderful way to keep our dream alive - keep dancing, Susanx
