The Waiting is the Hardest Part

        It has been an amazing day. What was really cool about this day was enjoying the reward of delayed gratification. That is one thing we do not see a lot of these days. We seem to live in a microwave, instant society. Think about it, why are there are microwave directions on a Pop …

The Crock Pot Is My Best Friend!

All right, maybe I am being a bit extreme, but it is clearly a tool I cannot and will not be without.  At least once a week I use my trusty crock pot.  In fact, there have been some weeks where it has been used up to three times and I have also used my …

An Empowered American is Financially Independent

“Why do you talk about money so much?”           This was a question asked to me when I was  trying to describe the Empowered American Project. I am guessing many people thought it would be more “politically” driven, primarily due to the “American” part in the title as well as my own personal involvement in politics. However, …

The Empowered Amercian and The Media

          I have been feeling an urgent compulsion to talk about the media as of late given the all the recent hoopla in the news.  This is in no way an attempt to condemn any specific media industry, be it TV, Internet news sources, blogs, talk radio, etc.; they are what they are.       This is …

   Why The Empowered American Project?

empowerpic Home

           As easy as it is to look to others to solve our problems, ultimately, the only way to have true freedom in your own life is to take personal responsibility. This isn’t always easy, it can be scary and overwhelming. 

          There is power in a support system of peers who are dealing with the same struggles. There is power in having knowledge and being educated on the issues that affect your life. There is also a sense of confidence that you will achieve your goals when provided with resources and support.

          When you are living your life from a base of self-reliance, you are able to make more objective confident decisions that will ultimately be the best decision for you and your family. That is why the Empowered American Project was formed.

          The founders of this project are by no means experts in all things related to self reliance and empowerment. This is a journey for us that we are sharing with you. One reason for the word “project” is to signify just that, we are all a work in progress. There are still lessons to be learned from each other along the way. That is where we hope to help, share our experiences through our own personal stories, struggles and solutions. So follow us (Lia, Anita and Marie) on our journey, and hopefully yours, to become an empowered American!
