A Season of

Thanksgiving

with our Publisher Dena Abdallah

Metro Woman is celebrating its SECOND BIRTHDAY! What a wonderful ride it has been for me as the publisher especially connecting with local women and businesses. One of my favorite hobbies is to explore our area's many unique shops and meet the women who have created them. I am reminded daily of the great community we have here, and the vibrant lifestyle we share, full of fun events and Inland Northwest originals.

Back when Metro Woman was just a concept, I had a vision to help small businesses showcase their unique products and services. I hoped Metro Woman would be an affordable way to share what they are doing and to assist them in growing and remaining strong and most importantly to attract new customers. I had no idea when I began this journey how much fun I would have along the way, and I want to take this opportunity to personally thank each and every person who has been an important part of it.

How appropriate that our anniversary falls during the month of November because I have so much to be thankful for!

I appreciate and give thanks to each business owner who has chosen our publication to advertise in. Without their faith in this “little magazine with a big heart,” none of our success would be possible. Each month my goal has been to share the story of a real local woman business owner because I believe each one has a valuable story that can inspire all of us. I am deeply grateful to each woman who has been willing to be featured on our magazine cover. Thank you great ladies, for letting me help you SHINE!!! I also want to thank my friends and family who encourage me along on this journey. Without their support I know this would not be possible.

Last and most important, I want to thank all of you -- our readers. Without

you there would be no reason to publish. It's now celebration time, and I

am personally inviting all of you to join me at the Lincoln Center on November 14th from 5 to 8 PM for the “Thank God I Am Fabulous” event.

We will be joining with NW Women Power Networking for this FREE event to gather with women (and a few fortunate men) and great local vendors to enjoy some hors d'oeuvres, dessert, and perhaps a glass of wine (nohost). It is bound to be epic!

Thank you! I look forward to seeing you at the celebration on November 14th and to another great year of Metro Woman magazine.
