While re-reading my blog the other day (an activity I regularly do just to keep things tidy, looking for broken links or overlapping keywords) I observed a pattern. It seems that I write a lot about difficult situations and about overcoming them. The most popular post on my blog is still 50 Ways To Start … Read more Yes, I Can
