Yesterday I found out that I am a new SQL Server MVP.  I still have the feeling that I am an "imposter" and that I don't deserve such an honor. I have spent lots of my weekends and evenings over the past three years writing articles and book chapters, recording training videos,  speaking, and volunteering for PASS and the local user group.  I am confident that I have made a positive difference, so maybe this does make sense. Anyway, I am thrilled about the award and the fact that my efforts have been appreciated.
