Karin Janin.com & Magic Of Intention

Do you remember when you achieved something special, when you reached that goal? It felt good at the moment of realization, didn't it? Time flew by, things happened, and that moment of achievement became blurred by the overwhelming obstacles that life brings to us. I know, because this happened to me.

I created a publication over 20 years ago called Divorce With Dignity. The purpose of the publication was to let women see that there was life after divorce. I thought this was the ticket to my success - it was within reach but something awful happened and I gave up. I wanted to bury myself. I couldn't figure out how "God" could give me so many creative skills and then failure..... It was a horrible time in my life. I felt abandoned again, I felt incompetent again, I had "is this is all there is?" type of an attitude.

In looking back on my experience, I should have been proud of what I accomplished. The desktop publishing business was just beginning to take off and I taught myself how to manuever through the many different computer programs. I also learned about layout and newspaper column width, advertising, invited other writers, and how to sell my publication. I was a one-woman show and loved every minute of it! I was proud of what I had created. Never in a million years would I have dreamt that I would put a publication together. And yes, I did it!

I was ungrateful for what I had learned and because of a "bump in the road" I didn't take it to the next step. I hid myself in a sea of resentment, anger, frustration, embarrassment for years and years. All this negativity reflected the way I raised my children and the way I interacted with others. I had the biggest chip on my shoulder that anyone could imagine. I was for years "Poor me"....the Pity Party went on and on....

Luckily I am older and wiser and have had time to reflect on that part of my life. It wasn't as bad as some may think...there were times filled with REAL joy! And now, look at my life..... I have written a book called: Magic of Intention, have been interviewed by various publications, radio and TV programs. My creativity continues to excell and I've designed products that helps others achieve their hearts desires. Some of my products are: Intention cards, Motivational jewelry, free eZine filled with exercises and announcements. My own TV show in NYC and an online radio show. And now, I've become the new Director for the Mid-Hudson Women's Network which is affiliated to the NAFE organization. If you would like to read more about who I am go to: My Story.
