My Brush with Greatness
And it just occurred to me, that most of you (my Atlanta / Savannah / Hilton Head Island / StartupChicks Friends) have no clue that I grew up in the town where Whitney lived after she “made it”.
The Power of Punctuation
I lost my cleaning person today. She quit via text message due to a response I sent her via text. The problem was… she didn’t use punctuation in her original text… so I interpreted her message differently than it was intended. And then, she did the same to my response.
Start with the Why
Last night we had a special StartupChicks event part of our new StartupChick Cameo Series. Sarah Endline founder and CEO of sweetriot chocolates came and told us her story from idea to Whole Foods.

This woman is a serial entrepreneur and has a very successful business, starting another initiative for which she is hoping to raise funds. She did a GREAT job: She got their early and got set-up. She [...]
My childhood dream came true today, I am finally a “Rockstar”
This morning I was the guest speaker at the TAG Entrepreneur’s Society Rockstar Series.
The Path Less Travelled
Over the weekend I heard that Tessa Horeheld had left Engauge and was about to embark on an exciting journey. This morning I finally caught her post on it. And it made me think about my own journeys, where I am at now, and well, about all of the StartupChicks who are forging their own [...]
