![]() By Chana Stiefel Sunni Herman, a dear friend of mine, recently completed the Atlantic City Half Ironman IM70.3 triathlon. She swam 1.2 miles, biked 56 miles, and then ran a half marathon. After this monumental achievement, she wrote an inspiring article about her “aha” moments and lessons learned. While Sunni’s article added a pep to my step and a fews laps to my swim, it also brought tears to my eyes. Sunni is a mom of three terrific kids and is Executive Vice President of a nursing home. She is power personified. I asked if I could adapt her lessons to our writing community. And in her sunny way, Sunni said, “Of course!” For those of you who want to run an Ironman, read Sunni’s article here. For the rest of us, here are five takeaways for authors from an Ironwoman:

Coming from an iron woman, these words might be very credible! Writing is like a journey; there is always a beginning and ending. But before you reach the end, it's given that you will be facing several challenges that might challenge you; that might let you think that giving up could be an option that you should choose. But you were not born to give up, you should always keep that in your mind. I always believe that you can do amazing things once you choose to be amazing!
