Women Empowerment - Momtrepreneurs - Tracy Beyer, Christine Joy Stevens - the "Grateful Chics"

I am excited to have a couple of great ladies from Houston, Texas whom I met about a month ago at a tradeshow in Dallas, Texas to close out our month long theme of Women Empowerment – “Momtrepreneurs .” One is a mother of three boys and the other is preparing herself to be a mother because she loves children. This dynamic duo Tracy Beyer and Christine Joy Stevens combined their creativity and skills to form a company called “Grateful Chics.” Grateful Chics was started in the mind’s eye of Christine. She was inspired by a simple little gift; a set of Gratitude Beads Tracy had made for her as an expression of “I love you being in my life.” Both women were at a place in their lives where they needed change, enlightenment, and spirituality. The idea of the beads came to Tracy while reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, a book Christine suggested to her. Driven by her natural talent, ability and what Christine described as Life’s Opportunity (God-incidences) she wasted no time in getting Tracy to join her in starting a business selling these beads to other women and mothers. These specially designed beads act as a special reminder to their owners to take a little time out daily to reflect upon the many wonderful things that they can be grateful about in their daily lives, and keeping them connected to the goodness that exist all around them that are sometimes taken for granted. Please call 347.327.9995 to join Tracy, Christine and I live on the air on Tuesday 7/28/09 from 10-11 am CDT as we discuss their journey to becoming Momtrepreneurs and “The Gratitude Beads” – their gift to all moms.
