This is an awesome post and we are so aligned on this one. Coming back from BlogHer, I saw so many women who were writers, musicians, and mothers. Doing it all -- and doing it with passion.

I really do like helping people land in positions that will move them along in the career. And of course, I love to see companies leverage the new talent to move the ball forward.<br>Meanwhile, my personal "passion" is biking. I like what Karla says about "If you do something you love you will do everything you do better." In biking, I strive to go faster and get stronger. To do this, you need to set goals--have a plan--and execute. This kind of thinking bleeds over into the professional world. The right mentality to overcome obstacles, injury, setbacks goes a long way to doing the same in your job. I am passionate about my job.
