Women need one another. We need to have fun together, to teach each other, to help one another, to inspire each other…
As a work at home mom, I get lonely. There isn’t a water cooler to linger at and catch up on office gossip. There aren’t co-workers to join me for lunch. There is a computer, a sink full of dirty dishes, three piles of unfolded laundry, and me.
Yes, I need to get out of this house and meet with other women if I want to stay sane and healthy. Thankfully, I get to regularly attend conferences and events to network with other bloggers and business women.
Usually there are airplanes involved in getting to those events, so when all I have to do is jump in my car and head to a local event, I am one happy mama!
So I am thrilled Leading Moms is coming up this month, on September 20th.
Last year was a fabulous day of inspiration, learning and networking. (I had such a great time meeting other women at Leading Moms 2012, it inspired me to write a post about effective networking, When You Know No One — 5 Networking Tips for Events and Conferences.)
I can’t wait for another great event this year!
