Encouragement is everything, even if it’s from a pink ice-cream cone

I have a pink ice-cream cone by Marc Johns on my bulletin board.  Every day I look at my pink ice-cream cone, and every day she says the same thing, “You can do it.”

Some days I believe her. And some days I don’t.

Her name is Betty. I bought her last Thanksgiving. A present to myself. A present to myself from Marc Johns, a Canadian illustrator who draws whimsical ice-cream cones and people and birds.

I am in the middle of finishing a book I wrote. Well, the book is finished, now I am drawing cartoons for the inside of it. And some days I feel like I can’t do this. I can’t finish the book.

And on the days where I think I will never finish the book, I walk over to Betty the pink ice-cream cone, and she reminds me, “You can do it.”

And then I do.

And so will you.

I believe in you.

“You can do it.”

Have you ever been encouraged by a pink ice-cream cone? Have you been encouraged by a friend?  As always I love to hear from you.
