    Thanks, Janet, for hosting!
    I especially like the reminder of the importance of whistling while you work… and the video in Stephanie’s post (When You Fall Do You Get Back Up) is absolutely inspirational: go watch it!

    I always enjoy reading the ways different organizers approach a subject, especially the creative use of words, images, and even video.
