I’ve always known Nora Firestone as a journalist. Now, she’s the creator of www.thankingofyou.com, and up and coming site focused on the lost art of gratitude. She’s a doer, a small business owner, wife, mother and woman who WOWS. Excited to introduce you to her now:
What ONE THING do you think gives a woman the "WOW" factor?
A genuine, contagious love and enthusiasm for what she has to offer and for the people and movements that might be propelled by those offerings.
What three female celebrities do you think we could learn from – and what ONE sentence lesson do they teach us?
Oprah Winfrey: Your quiet inner voice is stronger and wiser than the rantings of a million talking heads; listen intently, with respect and gratitude.
Dr. Laura Schlesinger: "Now go do the right thing;" it really does make a difference.
The pop-rockers who remind us: That we're all "Unwritten" and that it's a great idea to "put your records on," play your favorite song and "go ahead, let your hair down."
What is the most important lesson you learned from YOUR Mom?
This I wrote for a quote on my Facebook page: "By the time I'd ever heard the words 'you can't' I was old enough to know better." My parents somehow neglected to instill in me that I would ever be limited by a lack of talent, skill or imagination or by someone else's plans for my life. Instead, they fostered my creative and critical thinking and supported my endless parade of new endeavors. God bless 'em!
If women could instantly emulate ONE trait, habit or skill set that YOU possess, which trait, habit or skill set should it be?
Note to self: Think you can do it? I dare you to go for it!
What ONE success tip or strategy can you leave us with?
Love to think, do, learn and teach; tune in regularly to your inner voice and to the wisdom of others.
