    Dear BPW Colleagues,
 
barb We talk about yearly check ups with the doctor and making business plans. We talk about what kind of food to eat and know we need to drink lots of water. Many of us are spiritual, practice meditation or pray. If all of this is a way to a certain success, why are so many of us falling short? Why is this country so full of ill health and so many people not able to achieve the success they strive for? May I give my observation? Our body is a healing miracle. Every molecule in our body is a natural healing machine. Positive energy and allowance for that energy to flow through our body is even more important than the materials we put into our bodies. We heal with laughter, with hope and with love. Our energy rises with inspiration, excitement and imagination. These all have one thing in common, they are a positive influence on the body. They produce good in our mind and spirit.

What are you watching on television, what games are playing, what books do you read? Are they giving a positive message? What about violence? Here is the point - if you are feeding your self with negative, any kind of negative, then that is a key to a lack of achieving your desires. You cannot feed the body with negative energy and expect positive results. Anger, violence, and sarcasm, these things will never assist you in being a healthy, productive and successful person.

How do you talk about your work, your family, your friends and your partner? If it is anything short of good then rethink what you are saying and change the wording. You can make extreme changes in a short amount of time with the intention to do so.

Is your business life where you want it to be? Do you have positive things to say when some asks you - how is your business is doing? What are you telling others about you and your success? If you have less than excitement coming out when you speak about your business then I encourage you to take some time and come up with some strong positive statements to have ready so that the next time someone asks you can give a resounding, "It is all good" or "Couldn't be better!" Good luck and remember we all are in this together!!

Sincerely,
Barb Tremlett
BPW of Nashua President 2009-2010

    Notes from the Secretary
 
 
The Greater Nashua BPW Board met on February 25, 2010 The following topics were discussed

 
  • BPW Foundation has drop dues from $40 per member to $50 per state or local chapter. Complete details not available, but this will significantly reduce our liability.
  • Due to work commitments, Barb is still looking for someone to assist her by representing the Nashua chapter at state meetings. Kim, as State VP, cannot vote on behalf of the chapter.
  • The GED Scholarship and Women's Advocacy accounts were discussed. Money from raffles should go into the more general Women's Advocacy account to be used for things SUCH AS GED scholarships. It was also agreed that we should combine the money in the two accounts and purchase 3 GED scholarships with them. Nancy will make arrangements for the scholarships and see if they can be presented at the April meeting. Susan D. and Susan C. stated that they would make up any shortage in funds for the 3 scholarships.

The next board meeting was scheduled for Thursday, March 25th. It was held from 12-1:30 pm at The Holistic Self Care Center, 12 Murphy Drive, Nashua, NH. All members are welcome to any of our board meeting. Please contact Barb Tremlett at 603-883-1490 for more information. .

    Member's Spotlight by Nancy Baughman
 
 
Laura wears two hats in her professional life. She does marketing and sales for MLANS, Inc., an IT consulting firm where she is an owner. MLANS provides outsourced IT services to small businesses in Southern New Hampshire. "It's both challenging and fun to market high-ticket business services. The demand is definitely there for high quality IT service, so the biggest challenges are being visible and credible to small business owners so they contact us," Laura says.

She found so much value in SendOutCards, a greeting card service, that Laura became an active distributor. "Using this service has improved my relationships with friends, family, and customers. I am confident that anyone would benefit from sending cards so I invite my fellow BPW members to try out a free gift account," says Laura.

Her primary motivation in joining Nashua BPW and taking on the membership chairwomanship is her appreciation for other chapter members, valuing their competence, professionalism, warmth and humor. Laura says, "Working together there's not much we can't accomplish to benefit women in the community."

A native of the Garden State and a graduate of Rutgers University, Laura has been a homeowner and resident in Londonderry for over 30 years. She is married to Mark Aronson, her partner in MLANS, and is the proud mother of Ilona Steinhart, a freshman at Northeastern University with a major in architecture. They adopted two rescue greyhounds. She has a passion for justice in American life.
