It was Anita Campbell’s birthday last November 11, 2008 but instead of her receiving gifts she was the one giving gifts with her week long birthday celebration.
You might consider me so emotional or something but receiving gift from Anita Campbell is such a wonderful gift and memory to linger on. Not to mention, it’s my first time to receive a gift (book) straight from Ohio, USA. For you who might not know who Anita Campbell is — then the following paragraph is for you.
Anita Campbell has been an entrepreneur at heart her entire life. A lawyer by training, she has a wide range of interests, as reflected in her varied background in banking, information technology, human resources, marketing and eCommerce.
Today she is the CEO of her own business, Small Business Trends LLC, a media and information company. In that role she closely follows trends in the small business market and trends in technology.
Ms. Campbell has served on numerous Boards. Current Boards include the Advisory Board for NEOSA (the technology arm of COSE, a 17,000-member small business organization); and Vice Chair of the Advisory Board for the Center for Information Technology and eBusiness at the University of Akron. Past Board seats include the Board of NorTech.
Ms. Campbell holds a B.A. from Duquesne University and a J.D. from the University of Akron Law School. She also completed the Leadership at the Peak Program at the Center for Creative Leadership, and the Executive Program at the University of Michigan Business School.
The above is quoted from her biography page from Small Business Trends. Well, what the gift is? It’s a book entitled Blog Blazers where 40 Top Bloggers in US share their secrets to creating a high profile, high traffic and high profit blog!
She express mailed the book to me and finally last November 27, 2008 — the book finally landed on to my hands.
Got some personal bookmarks
and a short, meaningful note from her too.
Thank you again, Anita!

She’s a very dear mentor to me, Marites. It’s her birthday. Instead of her receiving gifts.. It was her who give gifts instead.
