Hello

Hello anyone who happens to stumble upon this blog.
My name is Linda Rendleman. I have spent the majority of my life with a passion for empowering, motivating and supporting women to be the best that they can be. I have raised 3 children mostly as a single mom. I had a lot of help with my third child, AJ, from his father. But I pretty much raised my first two children, from a first marriage, completely on my own. They are Jane and Catt.

Anyway, I have a pretty public profile through my company of 10 years, Business Women Connect, and I have started fulfilling my life dream by writing my books and editorials on stories that empower women. It is my legacy to connect with women and share what I have learned over the years through my work, my reading and my writing.

I have decided to start this blog as a personal project, not connected with my other endeavors. And I am in hopes that I may find friends along the way that will share their thoughts with me, help guide me and hopefully I can offer contributions to them, as well.

This can be difficult for me as I have usually been in the position of giving advice and offering mentoring rather than vice versa.

You see, I am beginning my second book with my partner. She and I together have started the Women Like Us Foundation. Women Like Us is a book series that I have started. Not knowing where it all will lead, it is my gift to the world. However humble.

The first book is Women Like Us: Real Stories and Strategies for Living Your Best Life and the second book is Women Like Us Real Stories and Strategies for Creating Change in the World. I am in the middle of writing and research. The point of this blog is to post my progress on the book and I hope to find some helpful ideas, stories and resources along the way.

Thank you in advance for reading and thank you in advance for any ideas you may have to make this book a good, informative and empowering one for women.
