Building a Great Winter Wardrobe
It's time to pull out last year winter clothes.
But what if you want to incorporate some of the latest looks. How can you build the foundation of an up-to-date winter wardrobe without breaking the bank? Sonya Costentini is here from Marshall's.
FLIC
Here's a 150 thousand dollar question? Has the media been fair to Sarah Palin? This election year has raised a lot of questions about the foundations of effective female leadership.
How do we judge it?
Who are our best role models? Deborah Penta is the founder of
FLIC, the Female Leadership Interest Council, a non-profit organization built on the principles of female leadership, mentoring and the belief that when you can help someone else succeed, you personally grow and prosper.
Just Thinking My father loved to tell us the story of Grandma Walker's penny kitchen. His mother was a widow who raised three children alone in a Newark neighborhood where life was hard even before the depression.
Grandma Walker's philosophy of life was based on three points. She loved to cook, knew how to stretch a meal and she never doubted her ability to take care of her family. When the depression hit their already struggling community she decided to sell dinners. While nobody could afford to pay much, everybody now and then could scrape a few pennies together for Grandma Walker's simple but delicious fare.
She put those pennies together to buy more food. And everybody went away full and happy.
This was not the start of an economic turn around in my family. It was enough to get them and their neighbors through a difficult time.
It is easy to become discouraged and frightened when you're hit with circumstances out of your control. Hard times can actually be our most creative times. This economic crisis could be just the point where your true purpose will be revealed because you've been pushed out of your comfort zone. History is full of stories about ordinary people who do extraordinary things when they persevere against great odds. Don't throw away your confidence.
Even now, especially now it can be richly rewarded.
Sunday is proud to present Lori McKenna.
