It's Wednesday Wisdom: quotes, sayings and advice for #writers & #readers.I thought today would be a great day to post some words of wisdom from one of my favorite authors. She is a talented author/writer, but at the same time, a very inspiring woman and mother.

And here are just a few quotes from this lovely lady:
On taking chances
“Some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all—in which case, you fail by default.”
On going from rags to riches
“I think the single biggest thing that money gave me—and obviously I came from a place where I was a single mother and it really was hand to mouth at one point. It was literally as poor as you can get in Britain without being homeless at one point. If you’ve ever been there you will never, ever take for granted that you don’t need to worry. Never.”
On worth
“Whatever money you might have, self-worth really lies in finding out what you do best.”
