In general, the blogosphere has become lazy. I admit it, I rarely write something quality these days, so when I see something artfully constructed AND about women in business, it’s magical. I’d like to think Gwen Bell’s magic is somehow related to the fact that she’s a Startup Princess Fairy Godmother and has a sparkly magic wand, but I know she was born with this gift. Gwen is more than a great writer, she’s a CONNECTOR, she’s a TEACHER, and she’s a LEADER in Social Media and Entrepreneurship… you should watch her in action! If you Tweet, follow her @gwenbell.
The post I’m cheering for t
oday is her latest one, one of my all-time favorite blog posts of the year, Women and The Hidden Economy for Huffington. After you’ve read that one, please get on Gwen’s blog and get to know what else she’s been writing about lately. Love the post she wrote after attending our Startup Princess retreat as well. (She BLEW me away by wearing Fairy Godmother wings the entire weekend, what a fun, sparkly personality she has!)
Did I fail to mention she’s one of the Kirtsy chicks too? She’s been doing Hands on Kirtsy events, so who knows? You might get to meet her in person soon…either for Kirtsy or we hope she’ll do more events for Startup Princess. Here’s Gwen with baby Nora, Quinn’s baby at our retreat.
Wasn’t that a rockin’ post by Gwen @ Huffington? I’m still pondering on it. Thanks for your thoughts, Kelly! I really appreciate your perspective on business, on life, on everything. YOU are a connector, too! Also, thanks for posting that pic with Norah. Still in awe that Gwen just snagged her; provided me a bit of respite – it was tough to bring Norah to the Conference, but I really appreciate you making that option available or I wouldn’t have been there & that would have been AWFUL!!! It was such an AMAZING, INCREDIBLE Conference; one I’ll never, ever forget. Thank you for all you do. You are my hero. Lots & lots of love… xoxo
Thanks for the great post! I love knowing there are a lot of us out there. Go mompreneurs!
Every time I think of Gwen it puts a smile on my face, thanks for letting us know about the posts.
