This new project is very intriguing and timely as I still delve into what it is I want to focus on professionally, or what I do to contribute to our family financially, and the fact that whatever it might be it will take some ambition to move forward and I struggle with that for real

Sounds like a interesting topic worthy of exploration! Will look forward to it, Asha!
