Hobie had this shirt made exactly one month before I found out that Two Weeks Notice was a NYT Bestseller. 💛
He secretly plotted behind the scenes. He called my publisher and asked if he could find out FIRST if I made it, and then he was going to come down the stairs wearing it... he wanted to be the first to let me know. 🥹
And then unexpectedly his mom got sick the week my book was launched. He had to rush to Pittsburgh to be with her and right before he left for the airport, he put the shirt on and told me, "I may not be with you when you find out if you made the list. But I wanted you to know I've believed in you from the moment you wrote the first word of your book."
Why am I sharing this with you? I want you to find someone who believes in you, even before you believe in yourself. It does not need to be a spouse. It might be a family member or maybe a high school bestie.
If you feel you don't have that person in your life right now, make it your mission to be the kind of friend you need in your life. I promise that they’re out there, waiting for you too. You deserve to be celebrated.
Hobie's mom died 48 hours later. We were devastated to say the least. But Hobie firmly believes his mom was beaming from heaven the day we found out I made the list. I 100% believe him 😌🙏🏼
