Love this post. One of the things I've noticed about both you and Kirsten is that you both have an amazing sense of who you are and what you can do. I LOVE that Kirsten is totally self confident, yet not pompous. That's a rare combo, and you have it too. Your parents did alot of things right, since I believe so much of how you feel about yourself is nurtured in your home as a child.....
