Wonderful article!

Thanks, I needed that reminder! This work is very personal and it's very easy to let something little ruin your entire day (or week).

This article and the previous one hit home instantly. I feel like you're talking directly to me. Thank you for this. It's really good to see it in writing, rather than thinking I'm going insane.

This is great advice and do I have your permission to post it on my Facebook for my friends to read? As a salon owner, I struggle to q-tip with my customers and employees but it's hard. Thank you for all your articles, I have always been a fan of your blog and am a faithful follower.
