Welcome to a new week lovelies! I'm a bit behind the times, but over the weekend I read J.K Rowling's Harvard Commencement Address to the class of 2008, where she spoke about the importance of failure and how it helped her have the courage and determination to not only try again, but to succeed.
Feeling completely inspired by her ability to turn failure into a good thing I had to share this with you today. Read the full address here.
Hope you're week is off to a wonderful start!
