Oh, how I’ve missed you all! Forgive my quiet absence from the blog over the last two weeks – the past couple of weekends were either snowed in or long holiday weekends (including Valentine’s Day and a birthday weekend for me!), and during that time, I had the...

Whenever I hear about a woman playing down her accomplishments, I immediately think of how pervasive the ‘Impostor Syndrome’ is. Even prizewinning author, Maya Angelou, after publishing her 11th book, said that every time she writes another book, she thinks to...
