A Whirlwind Week

Whew!  It's Monday and I feel like it's Friday already.  Last week was one of those whirlwinds that I truly enjoy.  I started the week off in New York for the Count Me In Gala Benefit.  Can you say FABULOUS?  More important, was the information that I received...that I will of course pass on to the Hiyaah Power community.

I have shared Count Me In with our community for the last 3 years.  To learn more about their phenomenal small business resources, click here.  Industry experts like Deborah Owens, Barbara Stanny and Edie Fraser.  I have been on the horn telling women about the Make Mine A $Million Business program.  Don't forget to click here for more information.  Knowledge is power...

Friday was another phenomenal Girl Talk, hosted by Elder Vikki Johnsonand Heaven 1580.  June's Girl Talk, "Love Doesn't Hurt,"  was a powerful gathering of experts, musicians and women who came together to discuss the silent epidemic of domestic violence.  A big THANK YOU goes out to Vikki for being an awesome catalyst and mentor to women.

Well, I ended the week in New York at the Pantene Total Your Tour.  Susan Taylor's open and honest talk with the audience was one of my favorite highlights.  As always, I was overjoyed to meet members of the Hiyaah Power network in person.  Connecting with thousands of women across the country and abroad is great...but meeting them in person is AWESOME!  So, I'd like to say hello to Michelle and Eunice for making their way over to say Hi and share words of encouragement.  It's nice to know that when I'm up at 3am...that someone actually appreciates the work.  Blanche Williams of Greatness by Design blessed Hiyaah Power with her presence at our booth.  As our resident media expert, she introduced us to some of the panelists at Pantene, including MC Lyte. Lyte is looking FABULOUS and she really took me back to high school when she rocked the mic with Cha Cha Cha...oops, now I'm dating myself.
