Magnolia Journal came knocking to interview me for a story about setbacks. Very weird to be the subject of the article instead of just the one writing it! Of course I’ve got failure tales, anyone who’s ever tried to achieve anything inevitably has. But there was one failure in particular I’d been reluctant to even think about. The scars were too deep.

Did I have the courage to address this defeat, could I detach from the disappointment and say the words out loud?

Yes. I said yes to the scary interview and you can read an excerpt here.
