Maybe it was the way I was brought up, but I have always tried to do everything without help.  That included raising my kids, handling money, even finding the best jobs.  It wasn’t until I was in my early forties that I understood the value of working with other women to achieve my goals.  When I finally “got it”, I went online and was stunned to find millions of women connecting all over the world.  It is one of the wonders of the Internet that no one has to go it alone.  The Web is a rich source of experiences, ideas, and wisdom, from women who are happy to share.
