Years ago I used to host a Girlfriend Gala every December.  It was a very fun event that I looked forward to each year because of all the smart women in one place at the same time, letting their hair down and inspiring each other.

Psssst….!!! It’s my birthday the week of  November 1st.

So What? Right?

Well the week is so full of great things that you just have to know about them!  I’m one of those people who believes that you should always celebrate your birthday and that if you want to have a good party…throw one for yourself.  However, this year, three great folks are having terrific events during my birthday week.  And you know what?  They really have almost nothing to do with me and absolutely everything to do with you guys.  Both of the following events are so good that you won’t want to miss them!

Last Thursday, I attended the Six Figure Moms Club event, 3rd Annual Making the Most of Your Personal Strategy New Year Kickoff.  It was a great event.

I met and reconnected with so many women who share similar interests and aspirations, and I created my vision board while delicious food and wine were served.  I came home exhausted but happy, and told my husband that finding the Six Figure Moms Club was one of the best things that happened after we moved to San Diego.

Well, I don’t know if she makes Six Figures but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if she did.  I met Kim Rowley last week at Affiliate Summit.  She was a nominee for a 2009 Pinnacle Award for Affiliate of the Year.  She’s a mom and an affiliate marketer and she sells something most of us women love…SHOES!  Check out her website, Shoeaholics Anonymous.  She sells great shoes and she’s also an affiliate for Zappos.com.  I love Zappos and I was reminded why several times over the past week.

I went to a holiday party this weekend at a private home in Rancho Sante Fe, Ca.  The gracious host was directing everyone to her laundry room to store their coats.  I just had to snap a picture to share with all of you (with her permission of course and a little help from my friend, Vana White Monica Lucas, Owner of SpaMode who was dressed in white and looking like a snow princess ).
