Do you ever feel like abandoning your dream?  Does it seem impossibly far away? Everyone faces it sometime. What do you do? How do you press on? I have a purposely small circle of supporters that I hold close that will always encourage me. It isn’t that they say – “oh, you’re great -you can do it”. But rather they listen to my doubts, let me talk it out, and then, help me look down deep inside to see if the dream is still there – if so, THEN they say, “you can do it!”.<\/p>\n
