Kate,

I'll share with you one of my favorite Mark Twain quotes about confidence: �All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.�

I love this quote as it sums up almost every successful business owner I've ever met and had the pleasure of knowing. Most of them would admit to you that they wouldn't have started their successful endeavor if they had known what they would face before starting it. But they dealt with issues and obstacles as they came at them and ended up on the winning side.

Think about this, you've faced a cancer that literally half of the people diagnosed with die. You faced death and are here today...what else is there to fear? I was a confident person before cancer (some would say a cocky, arrogant bastard and I would agree) now I'm even more confident if that's believable.

Life is short, play hard and play to win...whatever winning means to you.

As Ginny said, you are inspirational and I might add all sorts of awesome...now believe it.

Eric
