Anita Roddick

Dame Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop, died this morning of a major brain hemorrhage. I recently read her book Body and Soul: Profits with Principles and was deeply inspired by her passion, guts and ability to connect with everyone from customers to the tribe members of the Amazon who helped produce some of the company's products. Not only is she an outstanding role model for women entrepreneurs, but an example to us all of how to walk the talk. She followed her instincts and always focused on how her business could contribute to the greater good. I am thankful to have discovered her amazing story and I encourage you to do the same.
Be happy. Be healthy. Be whole.

Womankind.
