I particularly love the ones about not letting doubts stop you, and the one about reading, and I'm very fond of that tip from your husband about hope not being a strategy. All very handy reminders for me!<br /><br />I'm so glad we connected in 2012, Lynda, and I look forward to getting to know you even better in 2013. Your blog posts always make great reading.
