The Empowerment of Women

Okay, I have ten minutes to write a blog entry. I simply have to share this. I have two friends that I meet with once or twice a year. It’s probably been about ten years that we’ve been doing this. Sometimes we go away for the weekend or go for an afternoon picnic. Today we gathered around the fireplace in my living room and had lunch outside on the patio with the two outside heaters on while the sun came out in its winter gloriousness to warm us further.

 
Each time we meet, the three of us take turns talking about our goals for the year and how we plan to attain them. We give and get suggestions. It’s wonderful. The different perspective, the warm encouragement, the direct evaluation is all invaluable.
 
Thank you Pat and Patsy.
 
I talked about this blog and fumbled around my intentions and plans until I blurted out that I’m all about Women’s Empowerment. I want to write about it, I want to interview about it, I want to speak about it, and mostly, I want to encourage women to become equal partners in this society through entrepreneurship. That’s where it’s at. It's the absolute clearest I've been. The Empowerment of Women–yes, I'm getting more ideas. However, the then minutes are up; more to come later.

My Hat's Off to All the Women Entrepreneurs

 It’s been a while since my blog was set up. The technology and my soul searching for direction brought my writing to a recess.

Recess is over. I’ve chosen my platform and my direction. Let the writing begin. I will be giving my perspective on the place of women in our society, particularly in our entrepreneurial society, and most especially in the internet marketing society.
 
I will be interviewing women I admire and sharing their thoughts with you. I always welcome your feedback.
 
I will talk about some of the emails that I receive, articles that I read, books, TV (though I’m not watching that much these days), and conversations that I have with men and women.
 
I'll discuss issues like "What about the “glass ceiling” "— What is it?  Does it exist?  If so, how can women shatter it rather than be victimized by it.
 
Anyway, you get the idea. You may hear about Hilary Rodham Clinton or my granddaughter, but you’ll be getting my perspective as well as the women I interview and write about.
 
 I’m excited. See you next blog.
