What One Reader Says

Louise, you are an inspiration! I just finished reading your article in Inspiring Creativity and it's fantastic.

There is so much in that article that resonates with me, and I especially like your tortoise steps. You know what hit home with me the most? The pacing section. I didn't even realize this was one of my issues until I read about it. In fact, I'm going to try some of the recommendations and the tortoise step for that part.

I also skimmed through some of the other articles and found lots of interesting and helpful stuff. The one about balancing was a needed read, and I'm looking forward to the one about memoir, and must read the one on self-appreciation.

What a great book for you to be a part of. I am so glad I ordered it, and think everyone should!

You know what's kind of funny and might be synchronicity at work... Friday night, we were going to watch a movie, but the DVD wouldn't play, so we decided to watch a different movie - one that we'd received as a gift and hadn't seen yet. Guess which movie we watched? Seabiscuit. Yep, hadn't seen it, watched it Friday, and what comes in the mail Saturday? Your book. What's the first thing it mentions? Seabiscuit. And guess which DVD worked Saturday night? Yep, the one that wouldn't play Friday. Weird, eh.
