Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Steven. I agree, Dawn's The Write Solution blog is filled with great information and expert guidance delivered with a wonderful dose of warmth and humor! I'm glad you found the Nourish Your Career community as well and look forward to seeing you here again.

This is not exactly related to the career advice part of "Nourish Your Career" but has anyone tried making any of the recipes in the book yet? If you have and would like to send me a photo of it, along with the name of the recipe you made (plus any comments), I'd be delighted to post it here. I know the contributors will enjoy learning how their recipes are nourishing you and your loved-ones!

Hi Paula, Great to see you! You're always welcome at the table :-) It'd be great to see your petso dish photo (just email it to me and I'll post it). Thanks! All, the pesto recipe is included in the book, right after Paula's career tip and bio. She (Paula, not the pesto recipe) can be found tweeting at @paulabrandcprw

Thanks so much, Mary! I agree with you and Jacqui about how the year has started and the promise of all that will unfold. Interestingly, I don't necessarily (or typically) think of January as a natural starting point for things. This year, however, there's just something about it that makes the beginning of the calendar year feel like natural starting point to me. Like you, I look forward to what we'll each create and experience in the coming months. Yes, as you wisely point out, approaching the path ahead with a sense of adventure is wonderful advice (and a great approach to model for our clients). Thanks for being such a great colleague and contributor/member of this community! Folks, you can also connect with Mary on Twitter (@LearnSolMary).

Hi Jacqui, Thanks so much for stopping by, and for sharing the wonderful and exciting things you've set into motion already this year! I can't wait to hear more as the year unfolds. Everyone, Jacqui is one of the great contributors to "Nourish Your Career" (the book and the community) and always shares great advice and information. You'll know her as @ValueIntoWords on Twitter.
