I’ m so honored to have a piece included in the new Kirtsy book, “Kirtsy Takes a Bow – A Celebration of Women’s Favorites Online” for all the obvious reasons (i.e. having something I’ve written in a book (!), being included alongside such talented and amazing women as her and her and her and her... oh and her too…)
But I’m especially honored and excited because the book is so cool. I love what it stands for – the power and strength and creative energy of women.I grew up with two amazing sisters and now have two (lovely and amazing if I do say so myself) daughters...I’m all about girl power and collaborating with and supporting other women. I think it’s far too easy for girls (and women for that matter) to fall into that trap of being catty and gossipy and untrustworthy, and despite some regrettable actions in high school (and perhaps a few in college too…we live and learn), I’ve tried with every ounce of my being to show my daughters, through my actions and words, that being a mean girl is never a good thing. Never.
As women, we still have so many uphill battles in so many areas... Imagine our collective power if we banded together encouraging, supporting and cheering each other on. We’d be unstoppable, no?
So take a peek at the book and be sure to check out the lovely + inspiring book “trailer” created by Katherine Center (below).
And if you’re in the Dallas area, come by the book signing this Saturday from 5-7 at Little Bean and say hi...
Hooray for girls!
