Women to Watch

I’m poised for good news, I’m visualizing myself with an x-ray that shows good healing and my surgeon Dr. Kempcke telling me I can move to partial weight bearing – YES! Hold that thought for me as I wait for good news this week.

Speaking of good news I received very exciting news from my dear friend Sherry DeRosa, a cancer survivor, therapist, motivational speaker and a most talented woman recently interviewed by Fifty and Fabulous – because of course she is Fabulous. I’m attaching her link so you can meet my friend and I have to tell you she is a woman to watch! http://faboverfifty.com/interviews/551

Now that I think about it I’m surrounded by women that are in the prime of their lives, continuing to work, grow, learn and contribute to others.

My friend and business associate Lisa Hendrickson owner of Call That Girl Computer Repair was interviewed by WCCO TV last week regarding computer viruses. Lisa is no stranger to the local media, she’s known as a local social media expert and a savvy woman entrepreneur; she’s another woman to watch! http://www.callthatgirl.biz/

My good friend Kat Reed is a local author who recently published a much needed resource for those of us who have lost loved ones and struggled to organized the work to do when closing out their affairs. Kat wrote the book “Begin Here, helping survivors manage” you may have seen the featured artical in the Pioneer Press about Kat last month, her work focuses on the practical tasks that need to be managed after death. http://www.helpingsurvivorsmanage.com/about

I continue to network with new people especially women that risk it all as they evaluate their contributions to the larger community and create their own small businesses. Often my women friends have left successful careers to find their own voice moving from daughter, mother, friend and professional to writer, speaker, coach and caregiver. My new friend Carolyn Carlson is another such women to watch as she begins her work as a writer, poised to be a published author. http://carolyncarlson.wordpress.com/about/

I’m surrounded by beautiful and talented women; my sisters, aunts, neices and especially by my close girlfriends, we share dreams, values, careers. We are moved by sharing our personal stories of joy and sorrow, I think we are all Fabulous Women to Watch!
