Amazing Women

Perhaps the most tangible part of social networking for me is the wide range of friends and ideas I'm able to reconnect with or discover at my fingertips. I wanted to share a few of amazing things some of these women are doing.

Bee-utiful
Maybe it was the "Save the Honeybees" campaign on the side of a hรคagen-daz container or some random news bit, but when I saw that my friend Tiffany had started keeping her own honey bees, I thought how cool. I've enjoyed reading about her updates and it's gotten me to pay attention to the apiary movement popping up at work and following Vanishing Bees

Run, Recycle, and Yum
Her enthusiasm has been contagious as long as I've known her, so I love that my friend Kelly's blog tackles everything from how to make a fabulous quilt to homemade granola; how to train for your first half marathon to composting. Her energy makes my day brighter every time I have a chance to hear what she's working on.

Brilliant and Raising Three Boys
What I love about catching up with my friend Sarah's life through her blog is I get the perfect balance of real life peppered with her brilliant rhetoric commentary (because she's a rock star PhD). It also reminds me that life is way more fun with laughter, chaos and the ones you love.

Doing Exactly What She Wants
Anytime I think about what exactly I want to do personally or professional, I think about my friend Jen who's living the dream on the West Coast. Exactly what she said she was going to do. She's looking at our 30s with a serious "take the world by storm, but let's do while having a glass of wine" mentality. Oh, and she's wicked smart about the interwebs. California Dreaming.

Ciao Bella
We never got to spend enough time together in KC, but I love hearing about Caroline's adventures in Northern Italy. Living abroad in Italy. Enough said.

There are so many other women who inspire me and I promise to post links to their online musing soon.

  1. Lara! You are so incredibly sweet. I'm afraid the blogging has taken a back seat lately. I get inspired by you too, my friend. So glad we have reconnected. Look forward to checking out these other blogs listed! Have a great day!

  2. Awww! My thanks for this post are long overdue, my friend.

    The irony of this adventure is that I had the tremendous support of you and everyone else who seemed to think I could pull this off...and, in pulling this off, I put thousands of miles between us. Worst side effect EVER.
