There's one problem with being a mother and being a career woman...
No time for self!
It's the age old problem and one we haven't completely solved. That's why I'm excited to be talking with the founder of the site and parenting show "Yummy Mummy" in a special WomenCorp seminar this coming Tuesday. Get the details on my interview with Erica Ehm .
I've been through it as so many women have when we're trying so hard to manage other people's lives as well as our own both at home and at work. I plan to ask several questions when I interview this woman business owner who makes it work because somehow she's managed to stay sane through her television show, authoring a book and being a mom.
If you're interested in hearing what Erica Ehm of Yummy Mummy has to say, you're welcome to listen in through the computer as I quiz her or call in on the telephone line. It ought to be fun! Sign up for the telephone seminar on Tuesday, Oct 31st "The Balance Myth Demystified - The Truth To Surviving YummyMummihood"

Do You Do Halloween? Ever Had a Halloween Party?
It's just a little over a week away! Those little angels and super-heroes are gonna come knocking on your door...or will they? Times have changed so much. We have to think about safety on so many levels - for ourselves and our kids. The general rule of thumb these days is if you welcome those trick-or-treaters, leave your front porch light on. If you don't want them, then leave the light off. Not that everybody follows that rule, but, at least there's a "rule".
What about parties? At home? Pretty good idea, huh? A lot of churches, schools, and even neighborhoods are having "fall festivals" to keep the risks to a minimum, to have a lot of fun for the kids (us big kids too!), and make lots of new friends in the process. Keeping in mind that some people don't celebrate Halloween, and some celebrate it as a religious day, and some just don't like the commercialism surrounding it, have you ever thought about doing your own party? Maybe your neighborhood needs somebody to organize a party for the kids. What about a Thanksgiving party? So many holidays this time of year and that's a good chance to throw a party.
If you've got any good reason to throw a party, check out The Party Works site. If you can dream it up, they've probably already got it. There are birthday party theme packages, individual party supplies, and lots more. Oh, and yes, they do have Halloween party supplies and decor. Also, check out the article in this issue of WomenCorp magazine. It's titled "Halloween Traditions for the Not-So-Spooky Family". You'll love it!
Have a fabulous - and safe - weekend!

Bart Smith, Mandy Pratt, and PJ Camp...What a Teleseminar!
If you missed last night's teleseminar with Bart Smith and Mandy Pratt, you missed a super-charged hour with one of the Internet's true super-heroes.
Bart's training site, is an excellent source of information. He and one of his business partners, life coach Mandy Pratt, have teamed up to teach you how to work at home in your PJs. We hear so much these days about how to build your own business, start a business, work at home, or telecommute, you can't help but wonder how much of that info being hawked is real and how much is a scam.
Well, I'm here to tell you a lot of them are scams. Not this one though.
Bart is the real deal. He has worked at home, in his PJs and created multiple successful streams of income. In their upcoming PJ Camp, Bart and Mandy are all set to teach you how to do the same using your personal interests, talents and skills. Check out Bart's site, stop by WomenCorp and see what else we've been doing, and, last but not least, think great thoughts and reap great results!

A Car Named Sally - and Breast Cancer Awareness
It's a busy week for me. Barely time to catch my breath! Everybody I run into this week seems to be experiencing the same thing right now. One thing I often remind myself is to be grateful. Grateful for good health and the ability to actually do all that I do. For most of us, there is so much to be grateful for.
One of our WomenCorp lifestyle authors, Jody DeVere, is a great example to us in how to balance family and career obligations, as well as service to others. Her most recent article in the WomenCorp magazine, in recognition of October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, profiles the limited edition 2008 Pink Warrior Mustang. A portion of the sale proceeds of these cars goes to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Since we women are generally the ones to battle breast cancer (there actually are some men), please read this article, and then make me two promises.
(1) Do something special for another woman this week in honor of all the women who are battling breast cancer or who lost their battle with breast cancer, and,
(2) Adopt the gratitude mindset and thank someone you have never thanked before for the work they do, for the service they provide, or just for the kindness they show to you and to others. That "thank you" will go a long ways and you can bet that person will feel great and pass those good feelings along.
That's all for now. Hope you all have a fantastic day!

Should you Make the OTHER Career Choice?
Entrepreneur: The OTHER Career Choice
Do you know that over 70% of households in the US want to become entrepreneurs?
Stress, lack of security, and the strong desire to have flexibility and a lifestyle that includes working their passion are propelling huge numbers of women to seek the other career choice. Work at home moms often make the choice based on their desire to be home with their children and still bring income into the family and that choice has been a great one for a lot of moms (and their families).
Lynn Carnes has created another thoughtful and inspiring video to help you decide if the other career choice may be a good choice for you. Whether you want to work from home at a computer, work at home as an independent contractor, be a salesperson for an established company from your home office, or have a unique home-based business such as online retail or auction sales, there are many choices out there and surely one to fit you to a "T".
We're already pulling together issue four of the magazine. Be sure to watch for the new issue on Tuesday, October 16.
Now, go see Lynn's video!
