Surviving 2009

A President’s Message by Kathleen Hawkins

Being multi-tasking Moms, most of us would consider ourselves flexible. I don’t mean doing back bends, but if you can…good for you! I am talking about being able to shift gears, adapt, go with the flow apply critical thinking skills to each step along the way. With everything occurring in our society, today, you have to be able to react quickly, switch up your style, shift gears with your business in order to survive.

With the forecast of doom and gloom on the news, life can be depressing. As much as we would all like to run and hide, I don’t think that is an option. So what is your plan? What are you doing to stay flexible?
