I am so excited that Jill will be dropping by as part of her blog tour to here little old New Zealand, how exciting for us down under. 28th February 2013 will be a great blog and I am honored.
I have been reading her book, flicking through it, dipping into it and each page is such inspiration, I truly am not exaggerating. I use it for some many reasons, wise counsel, fun prompts, connecting to creativity, reminders of what really matters, anecdotes, guidance, strategies, really check it out yourself.
This is a fun, bright coloured book but do not be fooled, it is a very wise book and counsel in a really fun refreshing way. You cannot help but want to pick it up and flick through it. It's wisdom and life experience is evident throughout and I love that you can flip to a daily entry celebrate a birthday with an inspiring soul, ponder the wonderful pieces of gifts to heighten all our sense and carry out a creativity prompt if you so wish. How can this be captured in a few lines, have a read and you will experience this for your lovely taste buds.
I love this, thank you Jill from the book p96 "Get real. Being perfect just isn't possible within the realm of being human and those who strive to be perfect often sacrifice joy in the process. If you strive for 'amazing' but let go of expectations and are happy with whatever results you reap, then you're on a healthier and more realistic path." Wow, I was going to say "how would that feel." Well I actually know, well most of the time as a recovering perfectionist how amazing this feeling is and how relaxed and freeing it feels in the body. Creativity opened this door for me. This is just one paragraph, each one offering a teaching, a learning, an insight, a way forward.
What if you were just a human, can you imagine, embracing being a human - oh you are!!! How would it be to just imagine for 15, maybe 30 secs allowing yourself to be and doing something you love doing and letting go of expectations, you don't have to do it, day dreaming counts but if you could do it great and then maybe building this up at these wonderful small, small beautiful steps. Have fun.
28th February 2013, we are all so in for a treat.
Many thanks.
High Five!!
