This summer more than any other summer in my life, I am wishing that the days would go by ever so slowly.  That the time between my son and youngest child’s graduation from high school this past June 21st and the first week in August when both he and his sister, my oldest leave to start their Fall 2010 college semesters last incredibly longer than the past 6 months of 2010.

The past several months have been a total whirlwind for me  as we’ve planned and plotted and promoted – and continued to plan, plot and promote the 4th Annual Head to Toe Women’s EXPO. My days have meshed into weeks and weeks into months almost at the blink of an eye.  And now here we are one week from the big day, Saturday, May 8th. And although our ‘To Do List’ is shortening, we’re still busy with all the finishing touches. Continue reading Publisher’s Note

Enough is enough is enough…” The chorus of Donna Summer’s No More Tears hit song seems to foot the bill of the majority of women I come in contact with these days.  Just when you think you can’t possibly do another thing, you find yourself committing to yet another job, another function, another meeting… Continue reading Publisher’s Note, MCW Mar-Apr 2010

The beginning of a New Year always seems like a new beginning for so many things. It’s the beginning of a new quarter in business, new objectives & goals are set. A new start for getting into better, healthier shape which means the start of a new workout program. I’ll let you know how that plays out. My daughter starts a new semester at college. (More bills & expenses but we won’t get into that). I actually enjoy all the newness. It’s an opportunity to wipe the slate clean and start anew. It’s invigorating, challenging.

Happy Holidays!

Even as I write this note in late October, the excitement of the season is stirring.  My family has already confirmed our Thanksgiving arrangements. Who is making what and where dinner will be served. It’s not usually a big production except this year we are traveling south to spend Thanksgiving with the Southern half of the family.

“There is real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.”

I love that quote and have found it to be so true. Back in 2005, many of our clients requested that we coordinate some kind of event in which they could meet women consumers face to face. After two years of research and planning in 2007 we hosted our Head to Toe Women’s EXPO.  The EXPO is an annual event now and has grown in participants and attendees each year.  Today our clients/advertisers, many of whose concentration is in health-related industries, have asked us to host an event for the community featuring many aspects related to Health & Wellness. Therefore, on November 6th of 2009, we’re holding a Health & Wellness EXPO.
