Good Morning! It’s that time of year again when we start to take a look back at the last 365 days and reflect a bit on the goodness, the craziness, the lessons and the shifts of the last year. I thought we’d kick it all off with a look at the women who made up the 2009 Our Big Earth Mom Entrepreneurs.

This group of fantastic women in business inspired and amazed me, literally kept me going when I thought I was done and gave me so many reasons to keep pointed in a forward direction. I hope that you found them as amazing as I did. Now, the cool part is you get to vote for the most inspiring Comox Valley Mom Entrepreneur of 2009. Check out their profiles and vote at the end:
