Monday night I did something I never imagined I'd be asked to do...I was part of a panel of women entrepreneurs at Albany's University Club discussing the importance of peer support. How in the world did that happen? I'm still not certain, but what I can tell you is this - it was a remarkable … Continue reading Leaping in – a panel, a posse and some peeps

My loves
