Sassy Wendy recently traveled to Stockholm and Gothenburg in Sweden to visit family and friends. On the way she met a number of women entrepreneurs who loved the idea of The Sassy Ladies.
First is Eva Kihlstrom. Eva has had a great career as a journalist.
A few years ago she started studying what makes people charismatic as she worked on her Master’s Degree in Rhetoric. Eva studied film clips of very charismatic people such as John Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Marilyn Monroe. Her book, Charisma Code, was published last fall. It is now out in paperback and was at all the major newsstands at the train stations and airports. It has also been translated in Norwegian, AND SOON TO BE IN DANISH AND FINNISH.
You can read the first three chapters that are translated in English on her website www.karismakoden.se/index_uk.html The book has helped Eva's public speaking and teaching career tremendously.

A Day in the Life of a Work-at-home Mom.
I work from home two days a week. When I was halfway through my pregnancy, I left my cushy corporate job to start my own company. People used to say, “Oh, how nice. You’ll get to be home with your kids while you work. That’s ideal.” I used to nod dreamily, thinking of how the baby would play with blocks quietly next to my desk as I did client work.

5:00 a.m. Wake up. Realize “graduation day” has arrived. Go upstairs to write thank you notes to Jessie-Kate’s pre-school teachers. While it is quiet, I also write my company's email newsletter intro and outline the articles on paper.
5:35 a.m. Finish notes, and turn on laptop to start laying it all out. Stupid Microsoft Windows startup noise wakes up my light-sleeping 3-year-old, Nicholas. I’ll have to work on the draft later. Fix him some chocolate milk, then put on “Tom & Jerry” on DVR to keep him quiet while Jessie and Rich sleep a bit longer. Read ‘Working Mother’ magazine while we cuddle on the couch.
6:20 a.m. Jessie wakes up and joins CuddleFest. Magazine down, TV off, and a nice chat about the upcoming day. Try to calm her performance anxiety about the graduation ceremony. Not sure it sunk in. She refuses to go. This should be interesting.
6:45 a.m. Rich wakes up, and I get breakfast ready and shower, then check email quickly on the Blackberry. Only 55 emails, mostly unanswered due to yesterday’s marathon day of meetings. Will get to those later this morning.
8:00 a.m. Start e-newsletter draft while the kids play with Play Doh. Answer one email before Jessie yells up the stairs that she wants to “play on the computer”. Since she was 3, she could turn it on herself, and get to her favorite websites, so...
