I had read about this notion of the "Law of Attraction" but truly I can never say that it entered into my life until some January 15th of this year, the shared birthday with Martin Luther King who also had a dream. Having launched MyWorkButterfly at the home of Philanthropist of the Year, Malaak Compton-Rock, wife to Chris Rock, who believed in our mission, we new we were in for an exciting journey. Now Kathie Lee Gifford's on our journey, and so is Jill Zarin, Josie Bissett, Emme, Liz Lange, Dana Buchman, Dina Manzo, Nicole Richie, and many other incredible Celebrity and hi-profile moms. These mothers all stand behind our mission to help mothers today who are facing a huge struggle by no longer having the luxury to stay-at-home.
MyWorkButterfly provides a safe haven - a community - with free resources such as a career coach, psychotherapist and a national job board (with over 10,000 posts), plus experts in Elder Care, Child Care, Work/Life, Parenting, Money, Health, Fitness, Nutrition, Green, Relationships, Travel and more. We've attract in hundreds of like-minded Entrepreneur, Work-At-Home and Single Moms, as well as many other groups.
Almost every week, and some cases every day, I literally say something out loud that I want to happen, and magically, it happens. Its eery at times and although I question how these "miracles" as I call them keeping happening, I believe in my heart because on this special day in January I made a decision in my life to focus my energies to helping to empower as many moms as possible, all these things that I've asked for, keep coming my way. I was told by someone who studied the "Law of Attraction" that this is because I am asking for these things that they are coming my way. While I think that this is true, couple this with the fact that "when you give, you get so much more." It was only when I focused my passion to helping others that these incredible opportunities keep coming to me. Without the "Law of Attraction" I feel confident that my partner, Bradi Nathan and I would never have come so far in such a short period of time. And truly, there are so many mothers who we've met on our journey who are very spiritual and we believe this is more of a movement. Truly!
Just yesterday, I was walking into a MyWorkButterfly "Transformation" event - our first LIVE event held in New Jersey - and just inches from the door a beautiful gold/black butterfly sweeps off a plant and hits me squarely in the face.
Talk about attraction!

A Newsletter from Butterfly
February 23rd, 2009
In the past two editions of Weekly Wings we have made much to-do about the celebrities we have, and will, interview for Butterfly. We have stated how remarkable each and every one is and have clearly voiced exactly why each woman was chosen as a mentor. We truly believe, as we wrote, that you will be inspired by their stories and you will relate to their struggles.
What we would like to do in this edition of Weekly Wings is to recognize our peers who are just as important as the Kathie Lee Gifford's of this world! Women like Paula Schmitt, Founder and Editor of Mom’s Literary Magazine. Paula is a mother to five, and has devoted herself to her family and to creating a forum for moms "across the globe to share stories and triumphs... who try hard to get it right." Join Paula's Women's Literary Magazine group on MyWorkButterfly.com to connect to a fascinating group of women.
Shawn Slevin, as you may know, was the recipient of our very first Butterfly contest as she proudly invited her entire database of mothers into our community. Shawn's circle of moms grew from her organization called Swim Strong. Swim Strong "inspires kids to get off the couch and changes lives through competitive swimming." Join Shawn's Swim Strong group on MyWorkButterfly.com and become inspired, for yourself and for your children.
Kimberley Clayton Blaine, is yet another Butterfly that needs to be recognized. She is an attentive mother who has earned the title of The Go-To Mom as a national parenting expert. Her book is proudly showcased on Butterfly's home page and her informative parenting spots can be seen on thegotomom.tv.
Like Kimberley, Lynne Kenney, PsyD, also lends her expertise to TV and to radio as well. Lynne is a psychologist who "writes, produces and directs short TV/Radio content to improve the lives of families." She so kindly invited Butterfly to speak on her ever popular radio blog. (Click here to listen to Lynne's interview with Butterfly's Co-Founder Terry Starr.) You see, we too believe that celebrities and high-profile moms are fascinating but we want to make sure that your efforts and achievements as everyday moms are also recognized. We are all Butterflies, no matter where we started or how our journey may evolve.... reach out to one another on MyWorkButterfly.com as we take this journey together.

A Newsletter from Butterfly
February 16th, 2009
Love and passion are two words that are synonymous with Valentine’s Day. But, to me they are synonymous with so much more. Women. I love women and am passionate about women. And, while my husband may feel a tad jealous, I don’t care. Terry and I are so lucky to have interviewed the most dynamic and inspiring group of mothers in the past four and a half months. Mothers who are passionate about their families and love the work they do.
Liz Lange revealed to us this past week that even though some people questioned her intentions to start a maternity line, she was determined to fill a niche. Who’s questioning her now? Her line is sold nationally at Target and Nordstrom.It’s hard not to love and feel passionate about Liz and the dozens of women that will be showcased on MyWorkButterfly.com. Listen to their stories. Learn from their experiences. Know that you can love and feel passion for your family and for your job, whatever that might be.
In 2009 Butterfly will feature exclusive interviews with the following mothers who struggle everyday to “do it all”: Emme- Plus Size Supermodel and TV Personality, Anne Sutherland Fuchs- Chair, NYC Commission onWomen’s Issues, Laurie Gelman- Host of Toronto’s The Mom Show, Samantha Ettus- Best Selling Author and Web TV Host, Jane Skinner and Jennifer Griffin- Fox News Correspondents, Rebecca Lobo- ESPN Sports Commentator and Former WNBA Superstar, and Dr. Robi Ludwig- Nationally Known Psychotherapist as seen on Today, Oprah, E!, to name a few. It is hard not to feel the love and the passion for these remarkable women.
