When J.K. Rowling was 29, she was living on food stamps, manually typing every single book manuscript to pitch to publishers because she couldn’t afford to photocopy.

That manuscript was rejected dozens of times.

So, dear friend, take a deep breath, knowing you’re not a minute behind schedule.

You’ve come so far, and have quite an adventure ahead.

Take a deep breath and release your heart’s tug towards envy.

Your blueprint is not hers to follow.

Your story is a fresh expression of the Divine.

Take a deep breath and step forward.

Grace and glory will meet you at every turn.
