I love books. This isn’t a secret.

Whenever I have extra money I am buying a book. I think knowledge and growth are essential to my health and happiness, thus I read A LOT!  I get giddy when I see books people are reading and what is inspiring them and my reading list grows and grows all the time. I want to share books that I have read or am reading with you to spread some inspiration around. Feel free to drop me a note with your favorite books!

3) The Bodacious Book of Succulence By: SARK.

Has there ever been an author or musician that you just can’t get enough of? You know all the songs by heart, read every word? That’s Sark for me. I found her work first when I was in high school, to be honest I think I found it at the library and took it home with me just because of all the color. I was getting into Art Journaling and began soaking in every word. OH MY GOODNESS-she is an amazing soul, a light beacon! I recommend all of her books but this one will boost your creativity because when you dare to live your wild life fully, creativity can’t help but flow. Don’t you want to be daring today? Buy HERE.

4) Brave on the Rocks By: Sabrina Ward Harrison.

I believe whatever work of art you are making Brave on the Rocks is an essential book to read and gaze upon. Sabrina Ward Harrison is a revolutionist. If your looking for a book that is full of tantalizing, layered imagery this one is for you. If your looking for a book that tells of love of travel of struggle of what it is to be messy and brave this one is for you! She is brave indeed and raw and rooted. She stood on the edge and claimed her creative dreams. Thats what I always want from a book. Right now and always. Don’t you? Buy HERE.
