Dear BPW Colleagues, |
| |
"Whether you think you can, or whether you think you cannot, you
are correct." Henry Ford
We create our lives by our thoughts and our actions from our
thoughts. These are simply but very powerful words. And, they
are truth. I know that some would argue with me and show me why
their lives are an exception. But, the arguing makes no
difference. We are what we think about. If you do not like your
results you are seeing then you need to start by looking at your
thoughts.
Think of a day when you were high on life and felt free to do
almost anything. On those days you were not focusing on negative
thoughts, you were feeding on happy thoughts. Anyone and
everyone can change their thoughts and change their life. There
are many books and movies to show you "how to". There are many
ways to begin. My suggestion is just to start with smiling at
everyone you see and internally focusing on positive thoughts
for them and yourself. Practice this for even a few minutes and
you will feel your general mood lift.
Every journey begins with the first step. Join me as a positive
role model for women everywhere as we take steps in choosing a
happy path. Become a mentor, big sister, or become more
proactive in non-profits that build a stronger community. Use
your wisdom, your grace and your passion to make a difference in
paths of others lives.
Enjoy the walk!!!
Sincerely,
Barb Tremlett
BPW of Nashua President 2009-2010

Member's Spotlight by Nancy Baughman |
| |
Marcia Robinson has been living and working in Nashua since
1980. First as a real estate broker for 14 years and the rest of
her career has been as a mortgage loan officer. She has first
hand experience with all aspects of what's entailed in buying or
refinancing a home including legal, construction, environmental,
and financial. Combine that with a lot of compassion for the
inherent stress involved for the customer and a "we can make it
happen" attitude.
She is currently a Loan Officer with Mortgage Planners of New
England. www.MortgagePlannersNE.com She helps people obtain
home financing and gets them into the right loan product that
meets their needs. She also does reverse mortgages. Marcia
says "Reverse mortgages are useful in helping seniors get out of
a financial crisis and still keep their home."
Needless to say she knows a lot of people in these two fields,
but BPW allows her a way to get to know women in other
industries as well. This gives her a great way to make new
connections while at the same time giving back to the community.
Over her career she also taught real estate licensing classes.
In her spare time she was president of her condo association.
Why did she join BPW?
Marcia joined BPW because she wanted to meet and grow with other
successful business women in her community. Her favorite part
of BPW is meeting women from other types of businesses that she
wouldn't normally get to meet. On a Personal Note
On a personal note she learned to golf in the past couple of
years, something she previously never thought she'd do. She has
been having fun exploring golf courses all over southern NH.
"Golf teaches you to give every shot your best effort because
every shot counts." That's a lesson she has carried over to her
personal and professional life.
