Judy Davids is the Rock Star Mommy

Friday Apr 25, 2008

I had the wonderful honor of talking with Judy Davids, author of Rock Star Mommy & guitarist of rock band The Mydols a couple of days before a WECAI event called 1st Fridayz where she was interviewed about her book by Heidi Richards.

The thing that I really recognized about Judy was the enthusiasm in her voice about what she was doing….her dream was being fulfilled by being in a rock star band called the Mydols. And she even took her dream and passion one step further when she chose to write about her adventures of following her dream in her book called Rock Star Mommy.

Today is the 1st stop on the virtual book blog tour of Judy Davids book, Rock Star Mommy.

I kindly invite you to stop by each day and read up on the various interview and book reviews for Judy Davids and her book Rock Star Mommy.

Networking Day on Ryze

Thursday Apr 24, 2008

Thursdays is Networking Day at HER Mastermind Group on Ryze
and I wanted to share with you a few interesting topics that have been brought up in regards to networking:
Have you evaluated your networking efforts lately?
Felicia Slattery responded: “You are so right about needing to manage the networking activities. When I evaluate where to spend my limited time, I look at the opportunities to build relationships and as a way to get the word out about my business. And I look for something user friendly so I can jump right in instead of figuring out how it all works.”
Kristine Sheehan responded,”I do sit down twice a day to review and read emails and network posts. Depending on my morning rush (the kids)I visit two or three networks. WHat’s interesting to me is that I find the time to do all I set out to do… even if it’s just to read what’s going on.”
and Sandi Thompson said, “Spending hours a day is getting cumbersome and making a schedule is a great idea. In addition to online networking, I am participating in local high profile groups as well: Toastmasters, Chamber of Commerce events, women’s networking groups, etc.”

And on April 17th I posted this question: When you Network…what “footprint are you leaving behind?
Bea Kunz responded to my question by saying this, “What we do and give to others, we are doing and giving to ourselves.”
How simply elegant and to the point. Thanks Bea!

So please join in the conversations at “>HER Mastermind on Ryze and be apart of the fun, support and journey with us!


Green Women Who Gather

Wednesday Apr 23, 2008

Well, I just read a very interesting post by Mary Clare Hunt of In Women We Trust (also the cover women of the Spring ’08 edition of WE Magazine for Women.

Her post was reflecting about some emails she had received from other women (such as Toby Bloomberg and Yvonne DiVita) about her cover photo on WE Magazine this time.

And Mary went on to talk about an email she received from Diane MacEachern who had mentioned that someone else brought up the question of Why do we Gather? And Mary replied, “For the same reason we blog together…to support each other.”

And I SOOOOO agree with that!

Mary even had a quote at the top of the post by Yvonne and it said ” Ever notice how bloggers talk about the same people over and over? That’s because we have relationships with them.” Yvonne DiVita, Lipsticking.

In reading this post, I was lead to a group of amazing women and the causes and organizations that they are a part of and I would like to share these with you.

I hope that you will also take the time to join and be a part of them with me.

Emily McKhann – The Motherhood
Diane MacEachern – The Big Green Purse
Kimberly Danek Pinkson – Eco Mom Alliance

And Mary’s post ended by stating this simple fact…why do green women gather? Because we can.

However, I would like to take it one step further. We gather because we care!


To Understand How Virtual Assistants Work

Wednesday Apr 23, 2008

For this weekly post on eMoms at Home, I wanted to share an overview about virtual assistants, who they are and how they work. There are some variations to this, however, again, this is an overview list.

In the world of virtual assistants, there are variations. The variations come from the diverse backgrounds, expertise and knowledge one person may have compared to another. In turn, with the diversity also comes common attributes that are carried throughout the virtual assistant industry. These commonalities help others develop a deeper comprehension of virtual assistants.
