I was thinking about some of the comments made regarding women and business and awards. Sometimes I have little control over my own brain and it just trails off by itself. This time it came up with an award that could possibly be called 'Queen of the Anthill' ... I keep thinking Queen Bee but that doesn't quite fit since we are reading the anthill magazine. I think we should be proud of what we are all doing many of us will never win awards. But on the other hand if you don't fit into the box when it comes to an award suggest something. A great quote is “You must be the change you wish to see in the world” by Gandhi. So I could possibly think just a little too much but what else am I to do?

One of the first things I clicked on was the 30 under 30 and we even more excited to see such commenting going on. I would be more then happy to share my story if it is of interest to your magazine? The prematre birth of my daughter paved the way to my baby business with a twist. Although many look at having a premature baby as one of the most horrible things you can go through I don't. I think when given the right care and support it just becomes your life and you learn how to cope and move forward. In our case everyone else 'on the outside' was different because everyone else 'on the inside' of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) walls were all doing the same thing so it was normal. Thankyou for having 30 under 30 and also the Cool awards. Maybe you can have a womens awards to build your lady friend numbers. By the looks of the comments you have quite a few reading you might just have to encourage a few out and know there is no shame in self promoting and telling it how it is! I will continue to read this magazine with keen interest. Fiona James I am so excited to have come across this site last night!
