ingness to tackle any challenge helps her make Eventista Productions event's highly successful and her clients extremely pleased. “My passion is to help people manifest the best version of themselves – as business owners, as leaders, as entre-preneurs.

This event was developed to treat victims of domestic violence to a day of shopping with “integrity and grace”. In July 2011, Mrs. Bowen held the “Heeling Diabetes Shoenista Auction” which was an amazingly fabulous shoe auction fundraiser for The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

If past accomplishments and current success are any indication- the future is bright for Mrs. Bowen and she believes that with God all things are possible. Her current endeavor entitled “The Wedding Xpress” is focused on creating affordable weddings for budget savvy brides with smaller parties of twenty to eighty people. “Not everyone can afford a big cer-emony but every wedding should be a celebration no matter what your budget”.

From the Desk of Nye Bowen:

We are abundant and powerful people but we chose to give into inferior ideas. Your purpose and destiny is not meant to acquire a little, it’s meant to acquire ALOT... don’t start a business- build an empire! “Become what you DREAM and not what you SEE” —Nye Bowen

NADIA MATHEWS

“The indispensible first step to getting the things you want out of life is this:decide what you want.” —Ben Stein

Nadia Mathews is a visionary. She is a woman gifted with the ability to see past the idea into the steps of it’s creation. She began her journey as a writer pulling from her life experiences to help others in creating healthy relationships. Her first book “How I Let Her Steal My Husband” served as her launch into the marketplace.

Authoring her autobiographical novel at 28 was more than therapeutic for Nadia; it was also a moment of clarity and growth. How I Let Her Steal My Husband served as a release for suppressed emotions as well as gave her insight on being accountable for her actions in the relationship. “My story, I found is just like other people’s story. Other people are going through the same private hell after divorce. I want more than anything, to help people find

and keep healthy relationships with others as well as themselves,” Nadia recounts.

From the her passion to write and help others Grace and Peace Productions was born. Joining her endeavors , Mathews and husband Lee Mathews created an business helping other small businesses and non- profits with Marketing and Branding. Since it’s creation GAP has published 7 books, two of which were authored by Mathews. Mathews then organized “Embracing The Love Within” a fundraiser to benefit Bevery Cunningham Outreach Program. Using her gifts behind the scene to help several non-profit organizations birth their vision. In 2011, Mathews expanded her philanthropic efforts to include organizing a Shoe Auction to benefit Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The“Heelilng Diabetes Shoenista Auction” birthed a passion to create the “Heeling Foundation”. To her collegues she is known for her incredilbe to talent to see the idea and help to bring it to life.

For this mother of four and wife she is detemined to leave the earth having helped as many individuals as possible find their destiny and purpose. Recently she has added the title of Vision Midwife to her titles.

From the Desk of Nadia Mathews:

As a Vision Midwife, I am responsible for helping you AFTER you realize that there is a greater purpose in your life than just existing. I am here to counsel and direct you in any way possible concerning the Vision that God has given you. I will also help you find those that can assist you after the Vision is born. I am here to tell you as you feel the pressures of the Vision weighing you down that no matter what after It’s born it will speak! The pain is nothing compared to the glory of seeing who you were destined to be born. I am here to hold your hand and keep you pushing but I cannot push for you… YOU HAVE TO PUSH! You have to push past the sound of your own sobs and your own pain and in some cases your own heartbreak. I will not force you to become the Vision, only you can nurture and protect it. As a mother, I know what it feels like to want to numb the pain of Birth (I did) but each time right before I was about to deliver my medicine wore off. I felt the stretching and pulling and sometimes I wanted to just give up.I wanted them to pull the baby out and save me from the discomfort but what I found out later is that after I held that angel in my hand, nothing in life mattered. Our Vision is like that.

“Though the Vision tarry...Wait for it!”
