One of
my sitters and good friends sent me an article from The Economist “The Year of Hope 2.0” by
Arianna Huffington. I always liked Arianna ever since I saw her speak at Radio City back in 2008. I have been
meeting with professional, smart women now more than ever who are looking for
work and trying to keep going during this ‘recession’ or whatever we are
calling it now.
I feel
it is so important to have a strong network that you can go to when you need career
assistance, job referrals, networking & event opportunities and side jobs
to keep you afloat in the mean time. LLD’s
goal is to provide these qualified, wonderful women a networking platform where
they can go to stay inspired and motivated. Whether you are new to a city or
looking to meet new people after a job change, LLD will provide you with tips
to get involved in the community, meet new families, what events to stop by and
even post announcements you can share with the rest of the LLD sitter network.
I
agree with Arianna, we all need to stop relying on Washington to make the changes;
the changes come from within each of us. LLD is excited to launch this
initiative and make even more of an impact on the lives of our sitters just
like they make a significant difference in the lives of our family’s children.
