YOU'RE INVITED to The Phoenix Lunch
If you're a Woman then Pink Apple, Creating Order from Chaos and Mentor Maestro have got a FANTASTIC event for YOU.
What's more, all of the funds raised from the many prizes, auctions and donation envelopes will go to support the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal 2009,
You
see we're all Melbourne women, feeling powerless to change the
devastation that last weekend's fire storms had on people living in
Victoria.
Many of those killed and left homeless are from the
very outskirts of our city. Most people know someone who has lost
loved ones, friends, or property in these areas.
So rather than just feel powerless, we decided to take action and RAISE MONEY amongst our favourite people – other Women.
We're inviting ALL women (businesswomen and stay-at-home mums) to join us for The Phoenix Lunch.

What's In It For You?
Well apart from lifting some of that
sense of powerlessness and warming the cockles of the heart because
you've made a difference …
There is:
- Some Networking Development led by networking expert Brenda Thomson of Networking World.
We'll all learn how to use our BEST WOMANLY SKILL – networking. That's
to our advantage as both businesswomen with products and services out
there in the marketplace, and as consumers seeking great products and
services. - Finding out about the amazing array of women's services from the inserts in your take-away goodies bag.
- Lots of Fun, Laughter, and the very important ESWB (Exchanging of
Secret Women's Business, of course!!!) It should be good for meeting
new people, finding new ways to make our lives easier AND a bit of HOT
gossip as well!
How Will That Help Bushfire Victims?
A Senior CFA
Representative will give us some insights on what lies ahead for our
state and where our donations will need to be funnelled.
We'll
get you opening your purses/wallets for Donation Envelopes (receipts
will follow), Auctions, Raffles, Door Prizes, Spot Prizes. All these
prizes are being generously donated! (Can you Help?)
IF
you feel the need to bring goods for the victims (Red Cross tell us
money is best) then please limit the donations to new-only, female,
health/personal products and cosmetics and bring them along on the
day. There’ll be a box for those donations.
So Are You Coming?
We
want to fill our venue with 150 talking women. Can you help us? Can
you MAKE TIME to join us at this important charity event?
Even if
you live interstate, you could still join us. 
Why not consider
it? The Cause is worth flying for and worth every flying dollar!

Friends With Benefits.
Ahhhh! That got you in didn’t it?
Well I hate to disappoint you but there’s no plan to talk here about the noughties definition of "friends with benefits"!
One of the joys of being in business however is finding other business owners with whom you just click and friendships develop. I have many business friends who’s businesses I may never be able to refer to but who have become firm friends.
It’s then even better when your businesses have some synchronicity and you can work together on projects, send clients to each other, or even just help each other with some brainstorming for your next project! You both want the best for the other’s business. 
The best moment is when that disgraceful little demon of self-doubt wriggles under the security fence and gives you a raspberry as well as eats away at your pile of confidence stores.
What’s that got to do with good friends?
That’s the time they give you a good shake, (well not literally normally) and remind you of all you’ve done for them and others. Then they whirl you round, and with a slap on the back they send you out to chase the demon off the premises, and then help you block up the gap under the fence!
One of my fellow business women and now good friends is Angela Esnouf from Creating Order From Chaos.
Recently she ran a 7-day Clutter Challenge during National Organising Week.
Well not only did it get me off my backside and into my shoe shelves (see Comments), her simple baby-step ideas have had me nibbling away at other tasks around the house ever since.
A drawer gets a quick declutter as I look for something. The spice rack was half-checked for past-their-used-by spices while I cooked the dinner the other night! I’ll get to the rest next time I have to stand near the stove for a bit.
Now only Angela’s newsletter subscribers got the inside running on this great decluttering challenge. LIke many of us Angela tries out her new ideas on her subscribers. I know I’ve encouraged her to make this into some kind of saleable product and so have many others!
So if you want to feel like you’re making progress against the clutter bug, I strongly recommend a visit and a sign up at Creating Order From Chaos. She’s got a finger on the pulse of making decluttering simple and easy! It’s like a breath of fresh air. Just like it is when she walks in with her ever-smiling face and sits down for a cuppa and a chat!
Not only is she organised, but she’s also diligent at keeping up her blog commitments. (As opposed to some tarts we could name!) So a short sharp couple of paragraphs appear on her blog most days! (Even while she swanned around Europe a few months ago!)
She’s definitely a good influence – and she lives around the corner! What more could a tart ask for?
