A Tale of Two Chairs
As my year of being Chair of Women's Network is coming to an end, I have been spending a lot of time reflecting on the changes I've seen since I became a member. I'm more and more grateful for the leadership and historical context that our more seasoned members provide to the conversation. This is what gave me the idea for my letter this month. I wanted all of you to hear from someone whose leadership and wisdom I admire greatly.

A Gift for YOU!
As a proud member of Women's Network, we want you to be able to share that pride with others! During the month of May, the Marketing & Communications Committee will be mailing out window clings to each member of Women's Network.
Please display this gift either on the window of your vehicle, your business or in your office.
We hope that displaying these window clings will not only increase the visibility of our organization but also help you to make connections when you see the Women's Network logo when driving through town or at a local business.

Monthly Must Read - Book Review
Slipstream Time Hacking: How to Cheat Time, Live More, and Enhance Happiness by: Benjamin P. Hardy
Reviewed by: Danielle Woods
Any life coach worth their salt will tell you the same thing, time is an illusion. Wait, what? If we all get the same 24 hours in the day, how can time possibly be a figment of our imagination? In Slipstream Time Hacking by Benjamin P Hardy, the author suggests that this is true because of how we choose to use (or misuse) those 24 hours.
