You see here the view from the balcony of my home. In the foreground is Hermann Park and the Houston Museum of Natural Science. In the background is the Texas Medical Center on the left and Rice University on the right. Behind the university, some construction is going on in Greenway Plaza.

I’m very blessed to live in such a beautiful vibrant city. I’m also blessed to have confidence as a central strength. I just finished reading “The Confidence Gap” by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman in The Atlantic: http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2014/04/the-confidence-gap/359815/. It’s an amazing article that reminds us that confidence is built by practice.
