#BookReview | A book I still remember fondly is When Turtles Fly, by Nikki Stone, former Olympic Gold Medalist
She talks about Tommy Hilfiger, you know, the big name brand, and that he was born the second of nine children. And in 1969, while he was in high school, he opened his small chain of stores called people's Place, and his goal was to bring big city fashion from New York and London to his local community in upstate New York. He was self taught and began designing clothes that his customers wanted and couldn't find

Thank you so much for sharing that with us because sometimes we do feel like quitting something. I know this week I was like, man, I still want to get into one of the big five publishers, but I've stopped letting that be my goal. And suddenly I had turned my mind around. The beginning of this week, I was like, you know what? I'm going to shoot for it anyway

And when you look in the mirror in the morning as you're preparing for your day, say that to yourself. Then also you are a well respected writer. And look in your eyes when you say it. You, Erica, are a well respected writer. And use it in present tense. You've got this girl. Go
