Confidence is a funny thing. Funny…and always on my mind. Yesterday, I noticed that in a list of about 10 things I “take in” upon meeting people, I make a point to become conscious of how confident someone else is feeling.

Embellished sunglasses are everywhere at the moment. Everywhere and every-pound-taking.
