How is it the 27th already?? Happy Chanukah and Happy Day-Before-Thanksgiving for those of you all who celebrate either of those holidays! By a landslide, the thing you all are most thankful for are your families. I’m sure your families are just as thankful for you! I visited random.org who […]

First, I just want to say thank you for everyone who commented on my previous post about the Comparison Critic and Impostor Syndrome. I’ve found myself in a number of really interesting conversations with some of you, and I appreciate all of your honesty. I sent this link to some of you, […]
