From the Editor: Moving is no fun. Within the past six years, I have moved five times. Those college years are like that – first, I moved away from home into a dorm room, and then to another dorm room. After that, I lived in a cute little apartment with some friends. Following graduation, I moved into my own place. Then, last fall – Jordan and I settled into our farmhouse. That’s a lot of packing, a lot of boxes and a lot of work. Earlier this summer, another big move took place. But this time, it wasn’t my address that changed – Womeninc has a new location! We are now in a renovated little bungalow on Blue Earth Avenue in Fairmont, Minnesota. It’s a charming building with real wood floors and beautiful details. There is also an outdoor patio area where we can kick back and enjoy the summer. Depending on the day, it may be the place to escape and sneak in a few pieces of chocolate. Speaking of chocolate, Stephanie O’Connor found her calling when she created truffles as a gift for her chocolate-loving sister. They were so unique and delicious that she started a business called Tout de Sweet and she now spends her days creating artisan chocolates. On page 40, you can learn more about her mouth-watering creations. After 33 years of operating Steve’s Meat Market as husband and wife, Donnavon Eaker lost her husband to cancer. With the responsibility of a fully operating USDA plant heavy on their shoulders, Donnavon and her daughter Rachael Lee kept the business running after their loss. With a passion for offering quality meats, the two move forward in the industry. Read their story of dedication on page 16. Lori Knish from Belle Plaine, Minnesota makes bobbin lace, a combination of braiding and weaving lengths of thread wound around bobbins. I had the honor of watching her move and manipulate the bobbins to make the intricate lace as I just stood silently in awe. Lori truly has an incredible gift. You can learn more about bobbin lace in the article “Ordinary Threads Artfully Woven” on page 48. The diversity of talents, gifts and interests of the women I meet continues to inspire me. This issue is full of stories about women who have found something they loved – and pursued it as a career. I am happy and proud to be one of them. The boxes are unpacked and we are settling in to our new office location so if you’re in the neighborhood, please visit us. To set up a tour, please call the number below. We’ll keep a place ready for you on the patio and may even share our chocolate. Change of Address: Womeninc 322 E Blue Earth Avenue Fairmont, MN 56031 888.321.5181
