Sometimes I feel I should share the downtimes, the ebbs and flows, because I'm so upbeat most of the time. And yes, Theresa, I do think a certain amount of self-doubt is an important part of the artist package - as long as it doesn't silence us. Enough to make us strive to be better; not enough to make us give up!bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09122791819498272634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667348909154981284.post-50470870085388647812020-08-19T09:48:58.870-07:002020-08-19T09:48:58.870-07:00I send good wishes.

What a kind, inspiring person you are. If Professor Kaplan questions her own abilities, the rest of us are immediately given permission to suffer similar pangs, but feel encouraged to carry on anyway. Thank you for being honest.Pat Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581577683785751667noreply@blogger.com
