Just a quickie note here to let you know that our Menu for Hope 6 now has a final total $78,818!   Nearly $80K – nothing to sneer at in a recession, huh?  That’s a lot of farmers we’ll be supporting and lots of hungry people we’re going to be feeding via the good work of the WFP. Derrick and I are doing the final tally and picking the raffle winners, but before we can finish we’re doing a bit of housekeeping on the donation records and raffle picks.  If you see an email from us today, that means there’s a problem with your raffle pick (nothing big, usually just invalid item codes), please reply asap so that we can correct the records and make sure all of your raffle choices are accounted for.  We’re still on for final raffle announcement on Monday January 18.  Check back here to see if your good karma pays off!

Two different freelance writers were talking to me about confidence issues recently — how they don’t feel confident telling prospective clients what they’re worth, how they don’t feel confident sharing their views openly on their blogs, etc. Today I’m going to get slightly personal and talk about where a lot of my own confidence comes from, including how you can get a taste of it for yourself
