Inspire yourself!

Laugh, cry, dream, inspire others...share your stories!

How often have you started writing down some incredible episode in your life...maybe on sticky notes, or index cards, or the backs of bills, or some other scrap? A hundred times? You just KNOW no one will ever believe this... At SWWAN we're collecting your stories, and we're going to write a book about YOU-- the incredible single working woman! Oh, and if you'd like to win SWWAN of the Month, tell us about your milestones--you get points for each one on the SWWAN's Way! Click here.

When life hands you something exciting--or something tough, unfair, or way out of line with what you're "supposed" to have to do that you can only marvel how you made it through. Think of the many occasions--and share with other SWWANs how you handled it--when:

you knew you were getting laid off--and that unemployment would barely cover food and transportation
you had to get a loan to start your business but you didn't have any collateral
you understood at last that you were going to have to leave your marriage
you found you'd be taking care of your Down's Syndrome child virtually alone
you realized your employer would never allow you the flexibility you need for your child's--or your pet's--critical medical procedure
you had to carry your huge window air conditioner up 3 flights of stairs one May day when the weather suddenly hit 90 degrees
your not-that-old car dropped its transmission the day after you got hit with that huge self-employment tax bill
and on and on...

Yours are stories from the heart. And we know they are endless--and endlessly heartwarming.
