Yesterday I attended the January Homebased Businesswomen's Network, Inc. Luncheon Meeting.  What a wonderful time had by all the participants.  Some of the attendees were Tina and Natalie from Re/Max Advantage - Beverly Office, Barbara Evans - voice teacher & vocalist, Deborah Gauhier - Unfrancise Owner, Miriam Klamkin - Night Vision Astrology, The Penguin Lady, Dyan deNapoli, Kelly O'Connor - MaryKay to name a few of many great women.

Best of all was the speaker, Bonnie Herd Smith - History Smiths.  I was so moved by her presentation of inspiring women.  These women actually came from around here: Beverly, Salem, Peabody, Gloucester, Ipswich, Newburyport, and North Andover.  Theyovercame obstacles to achieve great success, and in do so improved their communities. Some of the familiar names I head were Elizabeth Peabody, Anne Bradstreet. Bonnie has written a book about these women and is diligently working to get her book published. 

I am a novel reader -- ONLY; however after hearing Bonnie I decided to place a pre-order for her book so I could learn more about these wonderful women who she mentioned throughout her speech. 

A day well-spent yesterday!
