Hours seem fleeting these days but some great things have come as a result of that including a renewed energy, surprising inspiration and amazing relationships. I have to keep moving and organizing to make it through to the next day but the option to sit still and wilt doesn't play into my nature, so I am grateful for all that has come my way.
In a month, BREW Boston will be upon us and being part of the BREW Crew this summer has been a real honor on many levels.
First, I have met an incredible group of people. From friends of BREW who have helped us spread the word, to a great team on the BREW Crew including Bobbie Carlton, Joe Caruso, and Brian Gladstein to our partners like Antler, SCVNGR, Fresh Tilled Soil and Constant Contact, just to name a few.
Second, it has opened my eyes to the incredible resources in Boston. I live in the suburbs. I travel the major highways in the area. I move from one place to another. I never stop to look and learn more about what is happening in our great city. Wow! Innovation. Creativity. Entrepreneurship. Comradeship.
Lastly, I found great support. These economic times are tough. I'm among the statistic of unemployed in the US and it's frightening...but with every handshake and introduction is a sense of support. Networks have a way of reminding you that you aren't just a number, but a person. And in time, things can and will work out.
Thanks for helping me BREW up a renewed sense of self and helping me to look inward a little over the past few months.
Now let's get that BREW party started and attend the events to support the amazing entrepreneurship in and around Boston!!
