The small, independent bookstore was a haven for Sarah. After months of unemployment, she’d felt discouraged; she was still searching for something, a purpose. Today she found a book on creative writing. As she turned the final page, a photograph slipped out. It was a black-and-white image of a smiling woman, a writer, holding a pen. A note on the back spoke of facing down your fears and embracing the unknown. A quiet calm settled over her, a feeling of gentle encouragement. She immediately opened her laptop, the blank page no longer intimidating.
