Stevie Nicks

Failure... I'm so thrilled she failed, I'm so excited she experienced all the moments that created the strong beautiful and courageous Stevie Nicks. She dropped out of San Jose State University just before graduation, so her and friend Lindsey Buckingham could pursue their music career in L.A. After being signed to a recording contract they created Buckingham Nicks but the Label quickly dropped the duo. Nicks was 27 when she felt her dreams slipping from her hands. She turned those emotions into the song "Landslide" which is well known today.
Stevie Nicks contemplated going back to College, when Lindsey Buckingham got a call from Mick Fleetwood asking if Buckingham would join his Band Fleetwood Mac. Lindsey said he would not join the band without Stevie they came as a pair or not at all. Fleetwood Mac already had a female singer in the band but they reluctantly agreed to take both Buckingham and Nicks. Imagine joining a band that technically didn't want you, so many emotions specially after just loosing your record deal. The first album Stevie and Lindsey joined Fleetwood Mac on was the "Rumors" album. Which sky rocketed the group to instant fame within six months.

Can you imagine what would of happend if Stevie Nicks would have given up along the way? I believe passion is a huge driving force behind determination. I believe in failing forward and learning lessons through each trial and tribulation. I believe in strong encouraging women and I admire them for there guts and grace! Thank you Stevie Nicks for inspiring me to be myself. Thank you Mama for introducing me to good music, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, Micheal Jackson, Prince and so many more. All awe inspiring, thank you for chasing your dreams, knowing no limits and failing forward.
