What is the hottest handbag that women and (even men) are queuing up to get their hands on? No, it’s not a Birkin Bag or a Louis Vuitton!

What’s so special? This little bag will keep your iPhone charged all day and the miracle is that it doesn’t look like it is made by Samsonite or any tech company! No, it is both smart and seriously stylish. The husband and wife Creators of Everpurse turned to kickstarter for funding and their goal of raising $100,000 has already been blown away. They’ve got an extra $50K collected and tucked into their purse. The beauty of Kickstarter is that the pre-orders for this product indicate how wildly popular this product will be. I want a big one for my MacBook Air!!

The only question remaining…which color to choose? I love the orange, but already have a small orange moneybag, so maybe I’ll have to fund at a higher level to sway the vote for the next color to bright green. Which one will you choose.?

The details are here

I spend a lot of time with undergraduate students between the ages of 18 and 25, many, make that most, have no idea what they want to be when they grow up. That’s okay, neither do I! The advice I always give is, “Go work in a sector that fascinates you, go work for smart people you respect and can learn something from or go work for an organization you can be proud of! If you find all three, you are golden, but any one of the three is a great start.”

My grown up friend Dave is lucky enough to work for TOMS shoes at the HQ in California and this is a company to be proud of for sure! TOMS was founded on a simple premise: For every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of shoes to a child in need. One for One. Dave sends me links to the great initiatives they’ve got going on and I get excited just to know such a company exists!

So if you are a motivated individual, go out and get yourself a job for an organization like TOMS! If you are a little less motivated, go buy yourself a pair of TOMS shoes or at least kick off your shoes and participate in their annual One Day Without Shoes!

More information on TOMS initiatives can be found on their blog here! I am especially excited about their eyewear One for One: giving sight program!

on losing my right arm, left brain and a tribute to Lisa

March 14, 2012

I am in the business of empowering women. So, unless I totally suck at this endeavor, I should expect and embrace the days when the women in my inner circle spread their wings and fly away. Yes, I celebrate their successes, each and every one. Bravo! But wait, this time it cuts too close! At [...]
