It helps me to keep a photo/thank you card album.
When I have had a really hard week, one of the ones where everyone quits
bf over almost nothing, I pull out the album and read the thank you's
from happy moms.

I also try to play "hookey" from work at least one morning a month, to
go out to breakfast with a good friend.  We as women need to make sure
we are nurturing ourselves as well as our families, our clients, etc.

It also helps to see clients together with a colleague every now and
then.  Especially in an emerging field like ours, it is vital to keep
learning.  We all have strengths that we can share with others, and
areas where we are weak and need to shore up.
