Trisha Pearson @ Notes From the Fog with her post: My Get-it-Together Plan: “I feel like pain and fatigue have turned me in to a doormat for life to wipe its feet on…Well, I’ve had enough! From now on…” Read more at this link.
Susan @ The Development Sherpa with her post Five Ideas to Spread the Valentine Day Spirit at Work: #1. Count how many “human moments” you can have at work…I actually tried 2 of her ideas and they worked! Read more at this link.

Thank you so much for the mention! It’s my first ping-back ever! (I think.) And it has given me a bit of much-needed encouragement to keep fighting for my goals. I let my determination slip a few times over the past week but I’m getting myself back on track now. Thank you!
