Coffee Corner

We have all heard the saying, or something similar to the saying, “community over competition”. But what happens when you don’t know where to find your community? We especially as females are into new territory, where we believe and know we can do anything. There are so many women entering the work force and just dominating. There are more female entrepunuers than ever before. We are making noise, that cannot be ignored. Unfortunately, when this started to happen, some people felt that in order for them to rise and succeed, it meant that someone else had to fail. It was...

We are almost done! We have almost made it!! This calls for celebration. It is too early in the morning for me to have a glass of wine to celebrate, so having a nice hot coffee will do.
