I loved the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307352153/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0307352153&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=mothisblisort-20">Quiet</a> by Susan Cain. I just discovered her TED talk, and now I'm all pumped up.

Introverts, unite!

I really do crave the quiet space to just think. I surely don't get much of that these days, but when I get an hour to just walk (the dog) and not play music on my iPhone or look at a screen, an hour when I just walk the dog and think (because she doesn't need me to talk to her), that is the hour when the great ideas come.

I am introvert. Hear me roar. (But not too loudly. Or often. Actually, let's just sit quietly...)
