Hey Nat, I love this reflection and I can really visualize the strain of opening that NO email can have on your day. I know the perseverance needed to stay creative is huge and I wanna give you a huge high five! I know you are loving this new life you have built for yourself and while the NOs can be crushing, I will never forget the way your voice sounded in the podcast before you made the move to leave your Union job and pension. You are the one who gave you the Yes to be bold and follow this path out into your art. All these Nos take nothing away from your Yes, its only that they can't join you yet in getting your art to their market. To me the beauty of where you are is that you are deciding what you say Yes to and what you say No to and that will certainly pay off both in the short term and the long term... with every project you create and bring to the market you will be amazing! You are amazing!!!!!!!!!!
