Thank you for your encouragement. It means a lot to me. =)

Rest assured that I have thoughtfully considered all these points before anybody had to express them to me. What kept me going before? Some amazing cocktail of hope, zeal, excess energy, and naivete. When all four began to wane a bit from encountering difficulty after difficulty, instead of cheering me on, instead of yelling at me to dig deeper, I received, “hmm, maybe you should just quit while you’re ahead.”

Well, are you having fun doing what you're doing???

I'm checking out your blog for the first time. I'll admit I'm impressed by all this. You have a nice little bit of enterprise going on here. I admire a person who is working hard to transform their dream from imagination to reality.

Each step forward feels like a leap of faith. Don't worry about being naive or inexperienced. Rachel Madow said that when she first started out in radio as a talk show host, she didn't know anything. In her own naivete, she did different things that experienced people didn't consider normal and that made her special and set her apart from the crowd. You do what you can as best as humanly possible and the rest you leave in the hands of Providence.

Nevermind the naysayers. They don't understand your vision. Or they are jealous. Like crabs trying to pull down the one crab that's trying to make it outta the bucket. It's hard to be an eagle when you're surrounded by a bunch of turkeys.
