Twenty intrepid Artsy Girls found their way to an inspired evening hosted by Malene B (bottom row, center) last night. Malene invited our group for its quarterly dinner party after being a cherished member for eight years. Fifteen of us drove through the puddles...
I had a double-header Friday morning spending time with remarkable women. Barbara Weltman and I met for coffee at the Starbucks in Greenwich, a midway point between our home offices. We get together a few times a year to compare notes, catch up and share what's...
Debbie - Lena - Cathline Friday was such a rewarding day. I was on my way to spend an hour with a web/graphic designer in the city. Navigating the crowd from the train into Grand Central Terminal I recognized my client and colleague Debbie Fay of BeSpeak and joined...
One of the most talented women I know, and I know tons of very talented women, sent me an email after attending my Remarkable Women Network event in Darien last week. She wrote: I dragged myself to the event feeling like there were 29 remarkable women and me, but...
Because I've known about SCORE for decades I assume that everyone else knows about them, too. But I realize that this organization is still a relatively well-kept secret. SCORE stands for Service Corps of Retired Executives and offers an amazing resource to small...
Joan has been one of my role models since I met her at the Entrepreneurial Woman's Network nearly 20 years ago. Then, she was fresh out of having created the Children's Department at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC and had formed her own company, WJ Fantasy,...
I went out venturing Friday and crossed several bridges on a drive to Brooklyn. I felt like Alice in Wonderland! It's such a great big, energetic and inviting city. I'd been there before, but mostly by subway, which is actually a better alternative given the...
What I love about events like the EWN Holiday Expo this past Monday night is that I can set up my display then stand still while the crowds move around me. It ran from 6 - 9 pm, and I had nothing to do but (wo)man my booth. I enjoy meeting business owners who are...
Last night over a 100 women came to the Fairfield Museum to be a part of Erica Green's dream event--The Big Connect. Erica shared her idea with me a year ago over lunch at Bloodroot (my favorite vegetarian restaurant). What's so great about her concept is that you...
At one of my first EWN luncheons ever I sat next to a self-employed career counselor who told me that every six weeks she took a week off from her very intense schedule. Since she was her own boss and was responsible for her calendar, it made sense that she could...
I had the pleasure of receiving a copy of Young Guns: The Fearless Entrepreneur's Guide to Chasing Your Dreams and Breaking Out on Your Own by Robert Tuchman last week. Riding in on the train Thursday night from CT to NYC, I had the opportunity to finish the quick...
My good friend Cookie sent me an article clipped from the NYTimes. It was from the obituary column--the ones written by family and friends to honor the deceased, not one of the separate articles written by the Times as a tribute to the luminary. Her note said, "On...

Nanci Lewis, owner of Sweet Rexie's in South Norwalk, graciously opened her candy emporium Tuesday night to my Remarkable Women's Network. After the round of self-introductions and success updates, we broke into small groups for speed-networking solutions. The...
