Words: “Money and Mimosas” was a blast! Where can woman get together to talk about the heart issues behind money, our fears, our concerns, our goals? Hillary provided a beautiful space that felt safe enough to speak about the topic of money. Not only was it fun with the ladies, sipping on Mimosas, but it was a great time to meet others and share in our similar experiences. I hope to be a part of the next “Money and Mimosas!” - Talitha
Words: “Money & Mimosas” was wonderful! Hillary is a very personable speaker with an infectious personality…She’s fun to listen to and watch because one can tell that she is passionate about the subject of money. It would be great to meet again. The combination of education with the focus on how to create a healthy relationship with money is a great resource. – Racheal, Professional Bookkeeping Services

Welcome —>Excelerator Group, Mid-October –>
Click Invitation~ Connecting Art and Business to check it out!
Description: This group is perfect for budding entrepreneurs in various fields of work. By entrepreneurs, I mean any person actively accepting risk, choosing to embrace change, and holding onto personal creativity while living within a currency based system (CBS). In a CBS, items of value are exchanged which triggers creativity. Creativity is then employed because value is determined by someone or something in the selling and bartering process. The group will explore how the blending of art and business informs one another in the entrepreneurial journey. More discussion to come in the excelerator group!
–> Excel~a Shouts Out about a local, lunch event: Discussion with Nicholas Kristof 10.15.09 in Seattle, author of Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide. Click HERE and scroll down to upcoming community events! I heard Nicholas interviewed on Oprah on 10.1.09. I teared up most of the show. I’m ready for more tears (I think?), a good lunch, and stirring conversation in downtown Seattle that reminds me of the bigger world! Hope to see you there! EVENT IS SOLD OUT! Let’s hope there is another opportunity, somehow…
