    Dear BPW Colleagues,
 
barb Last night I was looking at the clouds with a friend. The clouds were dark and ominous, but shining above them was a beautiful orange glow. We agreed it was beautiful but the average person would only see the dark and not be able to see this beautiful light above them. Funny thing, I saw even further. I could see the warm and happy sun behind the clouds. No matter what you "see" it is usually covering up something so dynamic it is hard to comprehend.

I am a "silver lining" kind of person and I enjoy challenging myself to see the highest point possible. So, that being said, when I am asked about the way the world is going now I can faithfully say, I look at things in the long run. I look at how things will grow and blossom in the future. I do not clarify anything as it stands in this moment because I know in a short amount of time it will no longer be that truth.

In fact, it will always get better. I am surrounded by some Negative Nelly's and what I realize is that they are stuck in the momentary thoughts of nothing will work, no body likes me, or I don't have anything. They really are broken records. They do not see that silver lining due to a habit of only seeing the momentary darkness.

Take a fresh look.  What can you achieve in the future--tomorrow, next week, or with in the next year. Today does not, I repeat does not, stop you from achieving something tomorrow. You are the one that makes your success, your new friendships or own happiness. Now you have something to really think about!

Have a great holiday and make a commitment to have, be or do wonderful new things!

Sincerely,
Barb Tremlett
BPW of Nashua President 2010-2011

    Member's Spotlight by Nancy Baughman
 
 
Nancy Baughman (BPW Nashua's VP, PR and Community Service Chairperson). I'm originally from Monroeville, PA. My home town's only claims to fame: The first official mall in the US was built there and was also the site of the filming of "Night of the Living Dead" a film I hope to never actually see.

I have lived across the country from MA to CA and have over twenty years of general management experience mostly in small companies, start-ups and dotcoms. I have worked in human resources, operations management, marketing and finance and worn every hat in a small company, frequently more than one at a time. I have also co-managed a Holstein dairy replacement farm.

Currently I own Calm Water Business Partner, LLC , which provides professional recruiting and senior strategic business partner services mostly to small businesses and start-ups. I recruit for a wide range of disciplines throughout an even wider range of industries throughout New England.

Why did I join the BPW?
I was invited to attend a meeting three years ago and I felt immediately welcome. I have learned so much from the women in this group. The networking, mentoring and friendships I've made make this group special.

On a Personal Note
I love photography (yes I'm the annoying one with the camera at the meetings). Also I spend my time reading, hiking, gardening, soaking up new information and spending time with my family whenever possible. I recently donated my hair to Locks of Love and this is the only recent picture of me remember I'm usually on the other side of the camera
