Wow, I don't know how I missed this thread. Yeah, this is my kind of attitude. Humility is awesome and so and so and such and such, but there are times when you have to go toe to toe and stand up for yourself. And yeah, getting pushed down can really cause you to reevaluate motivations and what holds you back.
Great post! You go girl. Kick butt. And have fun, and oh, don't forget while you're fighting back that some still can't and could use a hand.
