It has definitely NOT been smooth.
There are always Challenges and obstacles along the journey.
It’s very easy to quit and walk away.
Most of the struggles that bother me are the ones that can’t be controlled.
Great help is very hard to find and in dealing with artist, we have to remember that they are people with feeling and emotions and that can go in various directions
