Women's Health
When "women's healthcare" is the topic of conversation, our minds pull in many different directions. We think of the trials experienced by our mothers, our daughters and our close friends. Our own fears of heart disease, breast cancer and other female related disease surface when we make our annual visits and wait for the results. Dr. Knutson will provide essential health and wellness information on a variety of women's health issues. Bring a close friend or loved one to this important discussion that affects us all.
Dr. Renee Knutson, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., Premier Healthcare for Women, will be speaking to us on Tuesday, October 8th about 'Women's Health' issues.

Do you take time to dream? Is there a special place in your home or office that allows you to download and de-stress from the worries of your day?
If not, I encourage you to allow yourself 5 minutes a week to schedule time into your calendar to engage the right side of your brain... 5 minutes to take time for you.
As we start another year in AWBO this month I would like to take this opportunity to encourage you to engage within this unique organization. Do you find AWBO holds value for you as an organization? How about personally? Do you come for the networking, the education or just as a respite from doing the day to day business?
Someone within your organization has to be able to see 5 years into the future. Who is the dreamer-the visionary? I have a hunch it's you. Who within AWBO can help you make that dream a reality rather than something you just think about on a periodic basis?
The Journal and Courier newspaper called a couple weeks ago and asked me some questions about "Man Caves". I was able to refer them to 5 male friends I know who go there to de-stress. This got me thinking-why don't we women have a designated room or area with a societal label? I'm dreaming that AWBO comes up with a new title for where we women go to "de-stress and dream".
If you were unable to attend AWBO's first workshop last month you missed some valuable insights into getting started--often the biggest hurdle. Seek out a member who did attend and ask them what stood out to them the most. If you were an attendee- what have you done with what you learned? Is the workbook already on the shelf collecting dust or is your plan already in action?
My dream is that AWBO becomes such a recognized entity for empowering women within our community starts that it's members become the "go-see AWBO" organization when you want to get something done.
You know the saying- You want something done-ask a busy person!".

Special Event Thank You...
Hi to all our AWBO readers! I just want you to know that if you attended the Dream it! Plan it! Live it! event, we were delighted you were there. And if you didn't attend, you really missed it. We had a room full of attenders (even a couple of gentlemen). I learned so much about myself and having dreams (I mix this with my goals) and how to see them through. I actually wrote them down and verbalized them for the first time. It made me think and realize that I CAN "LIVE IT!"
Our board wants you to know that there will be more great speakers in the future so be sure to get involved in our monthly meetings the second Tuesday of every month at MCL Cafeteria in West Lafayette, where there is always a wonderful variety of delicious food choices.
Hope to see you Tuesday, October 8 at 11:30 for lunch with the meeting at 12 noon.
