In a feature in the Sunday Times magazine, writer Amanda Foreman, who wrote the best-selling biography "Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire" (now a majorish motion picture) talked about what happened when she first told her brother, Johnny, about this fascinating figure:
"Johnny said, 'Amanda, this is amazing--you should turn this into a book.' And he really encouraged me. His confidence in me, his belief that I could and would do it, was extraordinary. And it sustained me when everyone around me had kind of written me off as a low achiever."
Wasn''t she lucky to have that kind of a champion in her life? I hope you have someone like that. (If you don't, consider me the virtual version...now go and create that thing that you really want to do!)
