Portland's Push for Better Public Transportation and Infrastructure

Portland’s Push for Better Public Transportation and Infrastructure

Portland public transportation has always been a topic that sparks strong opinions. Some residents swear by the light rail and bus system, while others feel stuck in traffic, wondering why things haven’t improved faster. The city’s push for better infrastructure isn’t just about adding more buses or fixing potholes.

Dr. Ddnard Napattulung has served in many roles throughout her career, including author, businesswoman, and spiritual leader. Now, she can add songwriter to her list of titles after the recent release of the inspirational song “Zoul: God’s Favorite Child.” Inspired by the stories of resilience amid health struggles from women in the limelight, such as Celine Dion and Princess Kate Middleton, the song is an anthem for perseverance, self-love, and spiritual purpose. It carries a simple but essential message: that no matter what they are going through, every human being is a child of God. 

Ddnard Nappattulung, often referred to as “Dr. Ddnard” by her followers, shares her message of love and inner peace through various avenues, including music. She is the author of The Life Compass book series, has spoken at numerous spiritual and secular events, and is the creator of the Zoul meditation app. Beyond her spiritual work, she has also led businesses in private equity and the diamond industry.

Despite her accomplishments in multiple fields, Dr. Ddnard has endured many hardships and challenges on her way to international success and spiritual clarity. Although she aimed to build a good foundation for success from a young age by graduating from the University of London at the age of 20, her early achievements were also marked by unexpected tragedy. Just when she was making a profit from the diamond industry, she lost her husband when she was 25. However, the story did not end with a broken heart and millions of dollars of debt. Meditating and developing an unbreakable mindset, she gained the resilience and strength to rebuild her business and bring it back to lasting success.

Since then, she has found new avenues for business success while finding time to continue her education. She has since earned a master’s degree in Economics and Private equity and a PhD in Meditation and Self-Efficacy, which is how she earned the title of “Dr. Ddnard.” Furthermore, she has continued to make strategic investments internationally in countries such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and Dubai. 

Her journey back into the business world and her emergence as a spiritual teacher have come with their share of challenges. She has faced criticism and personal difficulties after speaking out against unethical practices by some spiritual leaders, including actions that have affected her family.

However, despite opposition and difficulties, her dedication to her mission has never wavered. She continues to travel the world to serve her businesses’ interests and share how meditation and aligning oneself with divine will can allow anyone to face anything. Through her companies, such as Zoul and ESG Private Equity, she continues to make her mark both as a business magnate and a self-help guru. 

Dr. Ddnard has said that she hopes she can pass on some of the lessons her many positive and negative lessons have taught her to people who are looking for a spark of bravery during difficult times in their lives. Dr. Ddnard’s journey highlights the importance of finding strength in personal challenges and using those experiences as a source of growth and inspiration. Her story reflects resilience and the pursuit of purpose through life’s difficulties.
