You've done something worth noting, and you need to let the people who love you know about it: pronto! Why hide your accomplishments from those who will revel in your success? A short email to share the news will suffice: you don't have to buy an ad in the paper or hire a skywriter. But you do have to toot your own horn. And don't worry about others thinking that you're getting a big ego. They love you and want to pat you on the back!
