I wonder if the word humility is even part of the larger vocabulary anymore (nor is "shame", but that's another story). The younger generations have been gold-starred and told "great job" for every little thing they've done, whether deserved or not. Not that it's a bad thing to have confidence - I envy them for it. I just wonder if they ever have self-doubt - could they really always be as comfortable in their own shoes as they look? Oh, to have that some day... I, too, struggle with getting myself out there. This is my first online article ever, and I'm as excited as a kid. Simple things, baby steps. I look forward to checking out your post about self promotion - that's my next challenge. I agree, Laura.

Whereas we were taught to be a little more humble! And, add the woman learning to it and we're afraid to assert ourselves. I say "we" but refer to myself. You're right- WE are experts by virtue of age and wisdom on many things. Now we need to get ourselves out there. My post for today talks about my discomfort with self-promotion. This might spur me on!! <a href="" rel="nofollow"> I sometimes wonder if this younger set got so over-indulged as kids that they think more highly of themselves (than they should).
