I feel the POWER!

This week I had the incredible opportunity, thanks to an invitation from my friend Marci Ernst and her law firm Smith Gambrell & Russell, to attend the annual luncheon for The Atlanta Women's Foundation. WOW!!! Themed "Numbers Too Big To Ignore", this event lived up to its billing and way beyond.

How can I have lived and worked in Atlanta most of my life and be so under-informed about this amazing group and all it does? The lunch was delicious but the education I received about The Atlanta Women's Foundation and its incredible work truly filled me up. With an attendance of over 1,800 - mostly women and a few hearty men - as my friend Maggie Harney said, "The estrogen was palpable!" And HOW!

Tony-winning actor Sarah Jones created a one-woman show with a full cast of incredible personifications of so many of the issues facing women and girls every day, not only in Atlanta but throughout the world. "Miss Lady" provided the book ends to stories that while fictional in personality, were blindingly true in their insight and demands to be heard.

If you have never heard about the incredible work being done by The Atlanta Women's Foundation, please visit www.atlantawomen.org. Give them your support if you can. Avail yourself of their programs and services if you - or a woman you know - needs them. But most of all, write on your heart the words I heard this week at the luncheon: " When you change the life of one woman, you change the world." Now do it! We have the power - each and every one of us - to change the lives of women and girls right now - TODAY!

Marci, to you and all of you at Smith Gambrell & Russell, thanks for an inspiring, eye-opening experience. And to The Atlanta Women's Foundation, CONGRATULATIONS and thanks for all the life-changing work you do! Now... off to make my donation!

Following your bliss?

Okay, I have to admit I've always been a little intimidated by that phrase. What exactly is my bliss? Do I have a purpose? Just one? It seems like so many things call to me. Their siren songs seem to chant in unison "choose me... choose me."

But when I have a few quiet minutes to journal and reflect and actually hear myself think, I realize that there's one common thread that runs through everything for me. It's people. I just love people. The most rewarding times in my life are times I spend with those I love and care about. Or meeting new people and hearing their stories. It all comes down to relationships. I know I feel most alive when I connect with people, especially other women.

I guess that's really my passion... bringing people together. Finding a common bond, uncovering a shared idea, helping women connect with each other and discover a new friend in the process. To me, that's what Multi-TaskingWoman.com is all about.

Following my bliss? Yes, I guess I've realized that by fostering this online women's community, I am.

Want join me on the trip?

Multi-TaskingWoman signing on!

This is one week I think I am way past multi-tasking! I am in overdrive... actually more like Turbo Tasking. Yes, that’s it. Off the charts. I realized today that I now carry 4 (FOUR) different business cards - and that doesn't include one for my career as wife and mother! LOL

How about you? Do you find yourself doing more than one thing MOST of the time. Love it MOST of the time? Make you NUTS some of the time?

How do you multi-task?
