Dear Pick The Brain Readers:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to thank all of our loyal readers and writers for sticking with us as the site has gone through a slightly inactive period. Being an avid reader of PTB for some time, when the opportunity arose to revitalize the blog, it was with great pleasure that I accepted the position of Editorial Director. PickTheBrain.com is one of the highest quality, most respected Self-Improvement sites on the web, due in equal parts to it\u2019s valuable, practical and inspiring content and the incredible community of users that continue to support it so enthusiastically!<\/p>\n

Now more than ever, in these chaotic, uncertain and challenging times, it is both difficult and important to stay focused and motivated. There definitely are opportunities out there to turn the corner and reignite your path to success (yes, I\u2019m a glass half-full girl!); they\u2019re just a little harder to find. My commitment to you is to continue to make Pick The Brain a trusted resource to help you discover the best ways to lead an ever-more productive, fulfilled and motivated life!<\/p>\n

Starting NOW, I will be publishing new articles from some of your favorite, as well as new writers on an almost daily basis, and we\u2019ll soon be reaching out to our readers on Twitter, Facebook and in other outlets (you can start following us on twitter.com\/pickthebrain<\/a>). Your comments and suggestions are always welcome and encouraged. Please feel free to email me directly at erin@pickthebrain.com<\/a> with topics you would like to see covered\u2026or anything else on your mind.<\/p>\n

Be well and happy achieving!<\/p>\n
