Current Sampling:

1. "Walking in This World" by Julia Cameron
• I've been reading and working on a chapter at a time.
  
• Currently on Chapter 2.
  
• Builds on the 3 ideas of "The Artists Way":
• Morning Pages
• Artist Date
• Weekly Walk
  
• I've always kept a journal, but find the morning pages a great way to clear the debris of the previous day.
  
2. "Live What You Love: Notes from an Unusual Life" by Robert and Melinda Blanchard
• Quick, easy read about a couple who decide to live a life they love.
• Love the idea and was interested to read their story, but disappointed with the book.
• Certainly agree with the big 4:
• People
• Passion
• Environment
• Money
3. "Caramelo" by Sandra Cisneros
• My current book club book.
• Love the story and love the writing style.
• Intimate, funny, delicious.
  
4. "Evidence. The Art of Candy Jernigan". Edited by Laurie Dolphin.
• Candy Jernigan collected "Evidence as Proof that she had been there".
  
• A lovely book containing photos of pages from the artist's journals.
  
• Loved how she made smears of food she ate.
  
• Inspiring. I loved it.
  
5. "Tales of A Female Nomad" by Rita Golden Gelman
• Just started this book yesterday.
• A 49 nine year old woman on the verge of divorce comes to the realization that she is living someone else's life and takes of for lands unknown.
• Love how it is written.
  
• Getting the travel bug as I read it.
