For over a decade now the pages of Victoria magazine have been graced by the creativity of thousands of women. We began in a modest way to find women whose passions were taking them into successful business ventures. It might have seemed that one's efforts were playful—"I think I'd like to have a Bower shop" or "Wouldn't it be fin to make stuffed animals?" More often than not, those notions became viable realities, The essential ingredient was always the true passion for the enterprise. It was that drive that led these women to get the support they needed and not to give up after a few wrong turns on the toad to their dreams. Because these entrepreneurs are involved in labors of love, their sharing of skills and services has been welcomed by so many others who seek goods endowed with caring.

 In our search to bring our readers the special, the truly one of a kind, we have met many women just like the ones you will meet on the pages of The Business of Bliss. Personally I have been rewarded by their stories and inspired by their hard work and their dedication to what they set out to accomplish. What is astonishing is that the well never seems to run dry. Each year more and more such stories land at our editorial offices. Always there is a new direction, even if the theme is one we've seen work in the past. With a great deal of pride, I welcome you to this book and hope you embrace its spirit.

Dream and then begin to set your plans in motion. And to all whose hearts beat with enthusiasm, we offer the examples of women, just like you, who have made the decision to fly on their own wings. If your plans are carefully made and your passion for the enterprise truly exists then turning what you love into profit can be a blissful reality.
