She Wanted to be Home with Her Sons
This week, the spotlight is on Gail Rust with Mary Kay Cosmetics. Gail and I have a lot in common as we both started our businesses for similar reasons… to stay home with our kids. She created an amazing career with Mary Kay and we’re so proud of her long-standing success.
Gail and I actually met after she posted a business card on a bulletin board at a local coffee house.
I was looking to start a local networking group, picked up Gail’s card and the rest is history… we’ve been friends and colleagues ever since.

Next week, I’ll be attending an awards dinner for my local chamber. Inspired WebWorks was nominated for 2011 Entrepreneur of the Year. When I first found out a few months ago, it was pretty surreal, and to be honest, it still is.
Meet Jamie and Gilbert Frenn
I just love this story of the husband/wife team of Frenn Photography. I first met Jamie in our women’s networking group, WOAMTEC, and the photography that her and her husband do is amazing!
Frenn Photography is also the official photographer donating all their time and talents to help with An Evening of Elegance charity event. We’re happy to spotlight their business this week.
Here’s their story.

What Exactly is SOPA Anyway?
If you spent any time online this week, you probably saw, or maybe even participated in, the activity and uproar about SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act).
Companies such Google, Wikipedia and others either blacked-out for the day or displayed their position on their websites.
So did we…(we weren’t blacked out, we posted a lot on social media)
What Exactly is SOPA?
SOPA is an acronym for the Stop Online Piracy Act. It’s a proposed bill that aims to crack down on copyright infringement by restricting access to sites that host or facilitate the trading of stolen copyright-protected content.
