Top Influential and Inspirational Women 2012

As a child, I remember the first time I saw a bowl of marbles in a Five and Dime store. I was fascinated by all the vibrant colors that radiated from the group of marbles in the bowl. Yet each marble was unique. Each stood out individually and served its purpose of bringing beauty to the eye.

The fantastic women we featured in this issue each stood out in their own way. Each of them allowed their brilliance to shine so that others might benefit.

Allow your intelligence, beauty, and purpose to inspire others to live purposeful lives.
