Hey there Smart Women! July 4th is just a few days away and I’m getting excited for all of the festivities here in our community. This year, my daughter Jenna and I are going to walk in our local community parade with her Girl Scout Troop. July 4th has become a much more meaningful holiday for me over the last decade as it serves as a reminder how fortunate I am to be a woman living in this great country. (If you feel this way too, don’t miss my article today!)

Smart Women Celebrate Their Independence
June 30, 2011 By
A few days each week I exercise with a few Smart Women in a park near my home that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. It’s a beautiful setting that lends itself to taking your mind off the muscle pain and exhaustion from the workout! We are surrounded by magnificent sycamore and oak trees that stand strong and tall. The trees were planted and spaced apart in a very methodical way; however over time, they grew into their own independent and unique natural form with branches and limbs flowing in many different directions. This got me thinking about how Smart Women have the opportunity to stand tall and strong. You are independently unique from every other living thing on the planet. Let me ask you a question:

Hey there Smart Women! It’s continues to be a busy month with graduations, 50th birthdays and celebrations of every kind to honor the closing of a chapter in life and open the door to embrace the new. As a family, we are getting excited for summer with no homework or early bedtime routines.
Smart Women Make a Difference

I struggled a bit this week on what I wanted to share with you. I place a high value on making sure I give you timely information that you can use right away to take your life and your business to the next level of fulfillment, happiness and success. On the one hand, I wanted to write about June being the halfway mark in your business and now is the perfect time to take a mid-year inventory of what’s working and what’s not working so you can make the shifts necessary to meet your goals by the end of the year.

Celebrations – Past and Present

Hey there Smart Women! June has arrived and my calendar is full of celebrations! If you are a parent, you know that much of May/June is about celebrating the completion of school and sports team activities—a time to honor your child’s accomplishments and create closure so they can move on with confidence. It’s important to our children that we be present and listen deeply to their words about their experiences.
Smart Women And The Tug Of Transition
June 2, 2011 By
Recently, I attended a surprise 50th birthday party for a good friend from college. I had a fantastic time reconnecting with old friends and discovering new ones as well. One of the biggest Aha’s for me during the weekend festivities was the realization that most of my time is spent with entrepreneurs—people who have made the jump to self-employment and choosing to do it their way. Many of the people I spent time with at this weekend event were employed by someone else. The topic of conversation was quite different for me yet it was illuminating to learn and see life from their perspective.

Hey there Smart Women! How are you? We’ve been quite busy around here at Smart Women Smart Solutions® and I say “we” because last week, both Lynne and I met in Chicago (after working together for more than 3 years, we met for the very first time!) for the See Jane Succeed Live event.
