And I don't know how people have wonderful careers at the same time as passionate spouses and fabulous families, but then again maybe I just haven't met them. Most of us are still trying (in my case, on the career side, after years of homemaking). So thanks for writing, and best wishes in everything you do in 2008. Especially looking forward to more news about the startup.

I've valued your insights about GenX / GenY changes in the workplace, as I've seen these changes creeping into the big company where I work, gradually but perceptibly. I agree that your personal comments (your name branding, move out of NYC, marriage counseling) caught my interest also, and yes made you credible, to me. As a career woman with a stay-at-home husband, I valued your comments about the home-person having a part-time job, and it changed my perspective, for the better. I enjoy all your linking, and have found myself reading blogs I would never have found otherwise. (Sorry I can't offer more gentle criticism!) Because my home life is so important to my overall happiness, and the world is not my parents' world, I would recommend this web-site: passionatemarriage.com, for awesome insights on appreciating "differentiation" - with some lessons that I think transfer back to the workplace (diversity does add value). I thought my sex life was dead too, after 10 years of marriage, but it seems to me now it is all about intimacy, really, and that love follows. (My contribution for your long list of what works, in the new age.) So thanks, for being here (in cyberspace), thanks for writing, and thanks for educating. The internet rocks! Ciao.

I can honestly say both have made me braver in my career and my personal life. In addition to all of that, I truly appreciate the time you take to actually respond to this community in many ways. Thanks so much, Happy, Healthy, and Joyous New Year, and keep it coming! Your book and this blog (especially my Coachology session!) has been an inspiration for me this year.

At least it gets the dialogue going - and that's what blogging is really all about, right?? Plus, it's very entertaining for the rest of us. Thanks for this re-cap.
