The time to say goodbye...
In March of 2008, I decided to invite a few ladies to come to a start up meeting and form a business networking group for women. I worked on the idea, mailed about 50 invitations and expected 6-8 people to show up. I was shocked when we had over 20 attendees at our first meeting!
We hosted political candidates, financial consultants, identity theft specialists, natural health specialists and more. Every meeting was exciting and informative. We met new people and grew our businesses. Our meetings were featured in the local papers every month, and I was privileged to win the Chamber spotlight to bring even more attention to our group.

Women2Women meetings were a place where we could relax, feel synergy, share our joys and sorrows, offer and recieve help, give and receive encouragement, and win a prize or two from time to time.
Every month, the numbers grew and every month we had new members. By the fall, we invited Martha Lanier, famous and fabulous motivational speaker to come speak for us. Together, we raised over $800 for her 2 Day Walk for the Cure in Atlanta and we filled the house!
For several reasons, this spring we decided to temporarily stop meetings for the summer months with the intentions of starting up again in the fall. Many of you have emailed me and asked when the meetings will resume, and where. I apologize for letting it drag on, but there was much uncertainty in my own life and I could not make the decision.
Finally, the decision has been made. It is with much regret that I must tell you that I will be leaving Dawson County. Economic forces have decided that we must move to Douglasville. It was our every intention to stay here for good. We expected that my real estate business would experience a real 'comeback' from the previous year or two and we could make a good life here. Unfortunately, there has been no 'comeback' in the real estate business and it will probably be years before it gets anywhere close to that.
I am excited that I was able to meet so many wonderful women in Dawson County. Many of you have become close personal friends, and it has brought many blessings to my life. Thank you for letting me share from my heart with you. Thank you for appreciating my attempts to bring encouragement and joy to you. Thank you all for making me feel so welcomed, accepted, and loved.
I will remember all of you for the blessing you have been in my life. You are the most special group of women I have ever met in my life. I wish you all much happiness and success in all your endeavors.
