Hi 2Tours,
I've generally found Job's advice to be spot on.

Gathering "Intel" from other LBS who are now on the other side of this is valuable, but one must always check one's motives and be ruthlessly honest with oneself as yes, friendship can turn to something else without realizing it. As my boy says, "You're aware" so just keep that awareness right up front.

I'm really pleased to read that you have a lot of GAL activities going on this month. What are some of them?

Happy Monday!

"Someone I loved once gave me
A box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand,
That this too, was a gift."
