If you own and operate any kind of small business in Portland, then the name of the game is getting new customers... repeat sales... and referrals. But how do you do that? Simply put: You must know how to attract good quality new customers who appreciate your business... pay your prices... return often... and tell their friends about you. But all too often this is where small business owners drop the ball. Why? Because while they may be very good at whatever they "do"... they sadly have never b …

Please pay attention to the fact that we have moved location and are no longer meeting at Flanders House in NE Portland. Our new location is 1611 SE Bybee Blvd. Portland (Sellwood) 97202.

I have created this group as a way to gather together women who are passionate, fierce, courageous and who want to e …

Writing is a way in and a way out. It opens doors and windows to creativity. It carries you down to the well of imagination and memory and up into flights of fancy. Writing is a tool. It's a companion, a friend, a mirror. Many years ago I was inspired by author Julia Cameron to begin writing what she calls Morning Pages. I began that daily practice in 1992 and continue to benefit from it. I have written my way through numerous moves, travel, divorce, interesting relationships, death and all man …

This group is designed to keep a regular weekly pickup game going in Portland. Look here for information about places, dates and times to play, and feel free to add your own recommendations. As the weather turns nicer, we will look to add a weeknight game as well. But that's not all! We'd also like to create a group of fans of international soccer (La Liga from Spain, the Premier League from England, etc.) who would like to meet at a restaurant or bar to watch the games and - why not? - mak …

If you've been curious about European/Non-traditional board games, (also called Euros), or simply want to meet new people, join us! There's quite a few gaming groups in Portland already, but after hosting my own co-ed group for several years I've found that not nearly as many women as men game so I decided to start this group as an alternative. New players and all ages/orientations of women are welcome. Those who want to teach a specific game to the group are particularly encouraged to contact m …
