I definitely agree with the sentiment of this thread Lisa. You have done a wonderful and inspirational job of getting people to realize, both mentally and financially, that with plain old hard work and a committed focus, we can all pursue the life that sometimes may allude us from time to time.
Interestingly, Lajocar mentioned in his post that: "It is great to see female pioneers make an impact in our society and world". I definitely agree and I find that the three forums I have begun participating in are all run by women. Maybe it's because I was raised by my mom in a single parent family or that most of my best friends are women that I gravitate towards these forums. Who knows....I'm just diggin' it is all...
And just for the record, I'm straight...
Thanks again Lisa for the wonderful work you have put into this forum. You deserve all the success that comes from it as do we all. Take care.
