I keep trying to rationalize it (to myself) and justify it (for everyone else), but it comes down to believing that I can do it. I'm already doing a lot of the work that needs to be done, I just need to continue and even step it up.</I> <BR/><BR/>Over the last several months I've been struggling with the same thing...trying to rationalize and justify, especially when finances came into play. You're absolutely right, the most important thing is to continue working hard, believing in myself, and in my ability to pursue the path I was meant to follow.<BR/><BR/>Thank you! I appreciate your openness and willingness to share your experiences. You've given me the motivation I needed to get back into the studio with renewed energy. I may even have some of my fight back! ;)<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/>BrendaBrenda L.B.

I hope everthing you attempt turns out wonderful.
