Seth Godin asked members of his social media group Triiibes.com to nominate people they considered Linchpins in their lives. I only had to think for about oh - 30 seconds. There are a LOT of fantastic, supportive people in my life. They’re there off and on, gone for months, or there for a hard time, or whenever our schedules mesh.
