Yes!! I have been rejected, Many times. It's really rough. And a few times I felt like giving up. But sometimes you just have to kick yourself in the butt and keep going even though the pain is unbearable.
Wow!! I love that you took the time to review everything! It makes such a big difference, And it's so often when we are making the same mistake again and again without realizing it. And at that point something has to dramatically change for us to move forward.
