Hi Becky and everyone who responded:

Thank you all for the kind words, I'm sorry I haven't replied sooner.  I am just entertaining for fun, although I still dream of being in the big time, I haven't the strength or the resources to persue it that far, the stress is too much for me so I have to do it the way that's best for me.  Deep in my heart I know my singing is good enough to make it big.  My other things are good, too, though I don't know how far I can go with them, but I believe I could do very well, in the right place and time, with a little help.  At least I know I'm good enough and do believe in myself, that I'm still a success.  To me, success can happen at any level.  In my own way, I did succeed, just on a smaller scale.  I have the courage to share with others and get up on stage in front of an audience.  People enjoy what I do and compliment me.  They encourage me to do it more often, and give me advice too.  I sincerely appreciate the feedback from them, and from all of you.  As far as having a video online, I doubt that'll happen.  I've become very disenchanted with the net and am planning to quit it within a year.  It's too stressful for me.  I'm doing my best to be content with the knowledge that I AM Good Enough and if my situation were different I KNOW I'd be up there, not just with entertaining, but in public speaking, and stress management workshops I'd like to do.  I've helped a lot of people, my techniques and ideas help me, too.  There aren't many to help me so I'm doing my best as my own teacher, healer, companion, therapist, and best friend.  Occasionally I get to perform for people, as well as share my other talents.  That has to be good enough; meaning, I have to accept my situation and do my best to make it as enjoyable as possible, because I don't have the energy or the assistence I need to do more.  I've reached out till I was exhausted, now it's time to pull back.

Thank you all again for your kind words and advice.  If you are curious, I will explain more of what I do, especially in my latest venture and what the video is about.

Sincerely, Ariel
