Choose to Become

It’s 1 a.m. I can’t sleep… like for 1 1/2 hours can’t sleep. So I finally got up to get a warm drink to see if that helps. I came across the Time Out for Women site. I’m likin’ their logo and theme this year. Choose to Become… great starting place for thoughts.

Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, the author of Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History, said: “If you don’t enjoy the small pieces of whatever it is that your job is, you’re probably not going to enjoy the end product when you get there.
