The journey that followed was dark, treacherous. slow going, uphill, unkind, contained one disappointment after another, and contained very few victories.

Read MoreSometimes the path is dark and scary
I have been walking on this dark path for what seems like forever. My way has not been easy. The negative messages that pop into the forefront of my mind seem to repeat the same old song.
