Octobers' It's Possible- Third Sceen

Meet An ORIGINAL “Just Do It” Girl!


Some of us female types have been known to complain that we aren't getting a fair shake, don’t get the plum jobs, don't get the salary we deserve, have to bring home the 'meatless' bacon (and maybe even cook it, TOO!). Could it be we haven't had a stratagem and/or POSITIONED ourselves to impact our world. Is it possible to learn from an 'old' lesson plan?
HEY - Or even CHANGE our Global field?
So - MOVE OVER WORLD; HERE COMES SOPHIA!
Well, maybe you don't remember her as 'Sophia'. We'd a called her 'Kate' or 'Cathi' or maybe even Catherine - her assumed name.
So, PRINCESS, if you ain't gettin' the breaks you want, lets look at three things another Princess did differently.
Step 1: Change Your World (includes your long-range/short-range tangible and intangible goals to accomplish #1). Our Heroine did and she couldn't even speak the Language when she came to the new country, but with her wit and innovations, (You Got It Too -You're made in God's Image and God's computer has no back up key) she gave her adopted land a most precious legacy. She came, she changed her name and she conquered.
Her "Man of her dreams" was considered "Backwards" (we'd a called him a "Mega-WIMP", but when CATHERINE II (Sophia Augusta Frederica to Ekaterina Alekseevna), married Prince Peter of Russia in 1745, she came to despise him. Peter the III, became Tsar in 1762, and sweet Cathi almost immediately arranged a coup d'etat to remove him from the throne.
Step 2: Has overtones of 'uncouthness' i.e., that's when you don't have no couth) with the current (LOTL - Law of the Land) and is therefore frowned on greatly. It is also not favored by most bosses or spouses).
Yes, she'd taken over. An original Powerful 'Just Do It' Woman. She was acclaimed Empress and shy Peter died soon after.
Needless to say, Catherine II, dubbed "the Great" was a strong-willed, intellectual, and enlightened woman. Lets give her credit; she worked zealously to reform Russia's provincial administration, education, and medical facilities. She annexed parts of Poland and Turkey, extending the empire to the Black Sea. But, while she brought the nobility European culture and learning she depended on their good will and allowed them many privileges and harsh new powers over their serfs.
You wanted to know:
Step 3: Simple: Whatever your Dream, "JUST DO IT!"
It's taking 1500 Memphis volunteers to help you and me see more of this daughter of a German prince. Catherine the Great!
In a collection of aesthetic and historical treasures never before seen outside the USSR. And only one place to be shown in the United States and within driving distance for us here in the Tennessee Valley. (No, nobody asked me to say it - wish they had!)

You can see at least 300 of 3 million priceless items that range from the newly restored ornate awesome gold coronation carriage to jewel-encrusted watches-masterpieces in gold, silver and precious stones. Costumes, jewelry, art, exquisite tapestries, porcelain and my very favorite - the most beautiful Bible - in this Journalists opinion - in the WORLD! With enameled ovals of cloisonné and overlays of gold with scenes depicting scenes like the "Last Supper", the Risen Savior, and the Day of Pentecost and on and on. Oh it was so beautiful. I'm so glad I saw it. The price was dirt cheap for the blessing of going.
Whatever my personal opinion is of the USSR, Perestroika, Glasnost and whether we're being duped into complacency like my daughter, Emily, who was a Russian interpreter, (and took a million Bibles to Russia) said before she got killed, ("The country is Bankrupt, Mother, Perestroika and Glasnost is their only hope - they can no longer feed their troops"), The Memphis-trip was awesome - worth it. Check it out for yourself. Just Do It!
Yes, Sophia Augusta Frederika of Anhalt-Zerbest of Prussia (Poland). - a monarch in the age of Enlightenment- a powerful ruler kept Russia stable and strong in a time of revolution and unrest.
This Catherine the Great brought innovation to her government and expansion to her empire. As an example to us Female types and (Male types are included also, Tony) to:
#1: Go for our dreams
#2: Overcome all obstacles
#3: Action -JUST DO IT
It’s POSSIBLE!
