“Women are afraid of mice and murder…and of very little in between.”  (Mignon McLaughlin, American Journalist & Author, 1913 - 1983)

Bleu has had the honor of working with many amazing women throughout the past few years.  There are times, however, when one stands apart from all of the others.  

Most recently, that “one” has actually been the leader of a group of women.  For the past year, she has served as the president of the local chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO).  Having the opportunity to be a member of this amazing organization has been both enlightening and insightful…and, having the chance to work with Cheryl Cook (http://promoneyinc.com/) has been even more so.  What a woman!

Upon first meeting Cheryl, you know that she is  a WOMAN amongst women.  She welcomes you with her warm smile and graceful ways; and, it takes only a short time to learn that her sense of style goes way beyond her fabulous “red stilettos”.  She is both strong and sensible…brave and beautiful…intelligent and amusing.  What a woman!

And, her stories…oh, what tales she has to tell!  Each and every one is about adventure and exploration…and, of course, the festive characters encountered along the way.  There are accounts of scuba diving and bike riding, cross country travels with barely a destination in mind, and a life that has been lived just for the sake of living it.  And, with it all, Cheryl has grown tremendously and gained incredible wisdom…and, she’s even managed to find her true love, too.  What a woman!

Last week, NAWBO recognized Cheryl at their Annual Leadership and Partner Gala.  Bleu was honored to have a seat at her table and thrilled to help celebrate the ocassion.  And, while Cheryl’s term as president is now complete, her legacy of leadership will live on and continue to be an inspiration.  All together now…WHAT A WOMAN!
