@Kami - this has the makings of a meme - "Who influenced you the most, and how did that affect the direction of your life?"

Ahhh - be careful what you ask for, huh?!

Ok, I'll post mine on my blog tomorrow, linked back here. Mine won't be a completely happy story because I absolutely did not get along with the woman that changed my life direction! But I thank her for it anyway

What a lovely compliment Kami. I will write something tomorrow or Thursday.

Hi Kami -
Ironically I already wrote a Thanksgiving post earlier today (sitting and waiting on my hard drive), and it fits right in the meme. Will post it tomorrow ... though in my case it will be about "life" vs. "career."

Great post! I'll wait to be tagged (hopefully) but an excellent meme for the week. Now if we could get all the PR folks who pitch us to just start with why we should care ... nice.

OK, got mine done earlier (because writing this was less uncomfortable than anything else on my task list!)

@Kami - I wish I was making Doris up. In fact, I wish I could forget her altogether. She really was one of the most vile human beings I ever met. But she also taught me a lot - about what I did NOT want to be!

Jason - you'll get the next round, for sure.

In honor of being double-tagged by Kami and Geoff - I did double-duty, posting the positive and negative influences for which I give thanks.
