		<description>Thanks Peter. Agreed on all fronts. I am quite good at doing community audits (data layered on top of research, then making sense of both &amp; mapping to success). So I am throwing around the idea of doing more of that. But thanks for the follow, I will add you to my blogroll. :)</description>

		<description>Derek

Nice start to your blog.  Everything happens for a reason so make the most of the opportunity.  You know the growth potential for social networking, find a niche within the niche and focus on it, become the expert, and don&#039;t give up!  Your skills will be needed by many so you&#039;ll be cool.

		<description>I&#039;ve got to tell you I thoroughly enjoyed this post.  The writing is superb and made me want to read more.  I am hooked.  What good are the lessons we learn in life if we aren&#039;t given the chance to apply them?</description>

		<description>Derek.  Really great post.  I&#039;m taking my layoff as an opportunity for introspection and it&#039;s giving me the opportunity to think about what I really want to do next.

Misty, (Derek, please pass along), I urge you to start blogging about your weight loss journey at http://www.mybestsize.com/MBS_EU_blogsCCz/index.  You&#039;ll find lots of supportive folks there who will give you great feedback and advice.  Also, you&#039;ll be able to read blogs by others as well. (I used to manage this site before I got laid off, and I was always inspired.)</description>
