Q&A With Belinda Anderson

Are you a self motivated person?
"The definition of self motivated is one who is able to achieve something because of one's own enthusiasm or interest, without needing pressure from others. So from the definition I would say I am a self motivated individual. Funny question because on my former job I was always refered to by management as "that person who was always trying to run something". I don't like being told something is impossible instead I will think outside the box. Finding solutions to difficult situations are motivating to me. I am driven by whatever I have a passion for. I will not let internal or external circumstances stand in my way. I am reminded of the first time I set out to do a marathon in 2000. I was told by my orthopedic surgeon that due to the severity of arthritis in my back that I would not be able to do it. I needed to complete the marathon not to prove him wrong, that would be being pursauded by an individual. I needed to complete it but because the cause I was doing it for to raise money for Suicide Prevention. I set out six months prior to the event and mapped out how it could be done...simple, one mile at a time. I started out one mile, increasing to two miles until two weeks before the event I reached my goal mile twenty-six. I belief that God placed me on this earth with assignments that only I can accomplish. I just have you to look within and know if I believe I can...I can. " Interviewed by Brian Bailey 10/09/08

About (request update)

I am a native born Washingtonian, I was blessed by the Creator to be raised by both parents and afforded the opportunity to be educated in the Catholic School system. I believe this is what laid the foundation for the discipline in my life today. I enjoy the simple things in life and my favorite thing is watching sunrises.

My Interview Question

Are you a believer

Current Whereabouts:

I have been blessed with the opportunity to reach masses of individuals through my Health column in Not Ur Momma's News, http://www.noturmommasnews.com. One of the tragic facts is that people often do not consider their health until something is wrong. We need to change how we view our bodies, our health and work towards a plan to change our lifestyle. Besides writing and growing spiritually, I provide information and promote use of essential oils as a complementary modality for health and wellness. I have teamed with doTerra as my essential oil provider as they have notariaty as exclusive oils used in several key salons and spas throughout the US I also am promote a new chewable nutritonal supplement that has the four juices (noni, goji, mangosteen, and acai) as well as the four berries (cranberry, raspberry, pom., and blueberry), a sea vegetation blend, b12, ala, folic acid and resveratrol. Unlike the juice form there is no water and it does not require refrigeration so it can travel where you travel. My bi-monthly teleconference series is a place that individuals can call in to get support, tip and tools as they are working towards change to live a healthier lifestyle. My motto is you either change now or you pay dearly later not only with having poor health but having large medical bills to cover the medications needed to stay alive. I open the teleconference series for suggestions of what individuals who are callers would like to discuss. There is easy sign up on my website for the calls http://www.mypearlsofhealth.com/services.aspx Allow me to provide for you and your family a wealth of information to help you leave not only a legacy of wealth to the next generation but also good health of mind, body and spirit.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

I aspire to grow daily staying steadfast on the pathway that God has paved for my life. I strive to reach out to touch someone's life in a positive way everyday, if with nothing more than just a greeting. I am amazed how shocked people are when you pass them on the street and greet them. As a coach and advocate for women my hope is to have a growing practice that is in line with the ministry that God placed on my spirit.
