    Okay my friend you are hitting me on all levels. And you KNOW I cry when you cry. It's so true. I have some quotes hanging on my board, one includes part of a phrase that says "if you're afraid to fail, you actually become afraid to try" and I hear you! Thanks for always being so real and so helpful!
