The layoff wave is still going strong. U.S.-based employers announced a staggering 257,616 job cuts in the first quarter of 2024, marking a notable uptick in workforce reductions compared to the same period last year.

Whether someone has lost their job in a round of layoffs, was fired ,can’t find a job, or is going through a personal painful experience, it can lead to a range of emotions from desperation, anxiety, sadness, and even anger.

No matter what setbacks someone faces, it becomes crucial to begin a plan for personal development, which can help you understand your values and strengths while also helping you align your realistic goals and emerge from whatever dark hole you may feel you are in.

Healer and teacher Tabitha Stitt had her own personal painful journey that led her to a desire to help others. When she was young she witnessed her mom’s struggles with addiction. It taught her how to recognize the pain and emerge from it stronger.

Tabita now guides people through her intuitive gifts & introspective approach – connecting with the energy around her in order to help others recognize their own personal power to transform their lives, identify their strengths and weaknesses and targets self-confidence and mindset. (She’s a licensed teacher/and healer)

Tabitha is available to talk about:
·         How she followed her passion to find her own unique path
to success and fulfillment
·         The way she helps others achieve their personal goals
·         How she helps people empower each other & create space
for healing conversations

It’s probably fair to say that only Cyro Baptista could concoct a mix of music including Brazilian, Mexican, and Afro-Cuban forms with hints of jazz, funk, and whatever else may fit, sometimes with multiple forms within the same song. Yet, even while you may not detect the particular style or have a total grasp of what he’s up to, he somehow makes it accessible and infectious.” Jim Hynes, Glide Magazine

The Army Reserve will celebrate its 114th birthday with the theme, ‘America’s Army Reserve and its People, Shaping Tomorrow!’ Throughout history, Soldiers have leveraged their professional skills while serving in uniform, adding substantial value and depth to the force, with skills, education and expertise developed in the private sector. As the Army Reserve looks ahead to the future, it will be one of the most experienced and diverse forces in our Nation’s history.

The service is celebrating the generations of men and women who embrace their roles as “Citizen Soldiers,” continuing a proud and distinguished legacy of service. Army Reserve Soldiers have integrated their military service with civilian careers, family, and personal lives, succeeding and thriving in the workplace and on the battlefield. They are doctors, lawyers, academics, scientists, engineers, cyber specialists, police officers, first responders, transportation specialists, administrators, and more–and they’re at the top of their fields.

Since 2001, more than 420,000 Army Reserve Soldiers have been mobilized and routinely deployed in 23 countries around the world. From natural disasters to national emergencies, the Army Reserve has never failed to answer the Nation’s call.

Daniels holds a bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics (Computer Science) from Carnegie Mellon University, a master’s degree and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts (Amherst) as well as a master’s degree in Strategic Studies from the United States Army War College. Lt. Gen. Daniel’s military career has been a mix of active and Reserve duty service and she describes herself as an “Army brat.” Her father retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Corps of Engineers.
