So, I like to be transparent about successes and failures.
My book was a failure on day 1 at least according to my standard.
I thought it would be moderately successful - looks like I was wrong.
But, it’s okay! You learn, and adapt, and grow from the experience!
Failures aren’t walls.

I noticed these tulips we planted last year.
2 are super tall, and vibrant.
Even though the one on the bottom is small, they all serve the same purpose and bees won’t care that it’s large or small.
Half the battle is just showing up.
That small flower did just that.
Be the small flower.
