I love personal growth and trying to better myself also. It is great you can absorb new information so well...sometimes takes me a few do overs to get it, lol. But we do absorb it even if we think we don't. Sometimes after reading a book, weeks later some information will pop into my head when talking to someone and I clearly remember something I didn't even realize I knew, lol.
Steem is so wonderful for this, I love it! You are very much a mentor for me as well @donnab, thank you so much! You are awesome, your comments are as valuable as a well written post!
Have a great day! :)
