We have wonderful happenings in our world – The Exceptional Women Awardees Foundation, founded by the Larraine Segil Scholars. is launching a cohort of amazing women in June 2018. These women called EWA ( Exceptional Women Awardees) will go through a year long mentoring program. Our in person sessions happen multiple times a year, and the EWA are also supported by an on-line mentoring program. The mentoring process is proprietary, created by me based on my Strategic Alliances partnering intellectual property, and adapted to metrics based mentoring, unlike anything else in the workplace right now.
My energies are now entirely focused on paying it forward to women in the workforce. I continue to mentor the 22 women known as Larraine Segil Scholars – that group increases by 2 every year – and my commitment to them is to be their ‘fairy godmother’ for the rest of my life. This is a role that gives me enormous joy, as I see these incredible women who range from 25-65 from multiple ethnicity’s, religions and industries, grow in their careers and lives. Now, as Chair and CEO of the EWA, my focus has expanded to include each cohort of EWA women, during their year of mentoring by me and others, as well as when they move into the Alumnae group and stay connected and involved.

So although I continue to make cheese – we now have a cow Bella 
and she has given birth to a heifer, Bellilta, ( here is the picture of Bellita just 1 hour after birth) and is giving us wonderful milk which has enabled me to increase my cheese portfolio to include hard cheeses like Havarti, Cheddar, Sweet Milk as well as Goat cheeses like Camembert, Ricotta, Feta and Chevre. The farm continues full steam ahead with Farmer Clive as amazing as he has always been – 80 years old this year and as strong and involved as ever. How blessed are we!
Ginger our sweet cat disappeared from the farm – despite having her bed inside the house – and we fear that the coyotes who now prowl during the day and night with impunity in the area – took her away. We searched and searched – but no Ginger.
However our sweet rescue dog Benji is even more beloved and stays by my side or Clive’s all the time. He does love going in the car – and has become adjusted to Bella as a very large not very friendly four legged sort of dog ( cow). And that she is to be left alone as she is not interested in playing with him at all.
So look forward to hearing more about EWA -and probably a bit less about the farm – but I will put in a recipe or two to keep those of you who are so kind to follow and use the recipes regularly!
