They are, however, just as full of lessons and inspiration if we take the time to take them in. I'm pleased to be a part of Laura's group, following along in this book that I think of as an old friend, albeit a friend I've not seen or visited in perhaps 25 years. I've written about Chapter 1 -- The Beach -- on my blog here:<br /><br />http://carolleigh.blogspot.com/2014/05/what-im-reading.html and if the code is stripped from this posting, it's at carolleigh.blogspot.com<br /><br />Thanks again, Laura, for setting this up.Carol Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795175430154077595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11004799.post-68621451539582339402014-04-29T08:25:36.951-05:002014-04-29T08:25:36.951-05:00Glad you made it Lorraine...

I am enjoying my time taking art classes and teaching collage, thanks to Laura with whom I began that wonderful journey in her class years ago. So anything Laura does is always energizing and stimulating for me and I'm there! <br /><br />I have my mother's "Gift From the Sea" book (same cover as Laura's) and right now have been hunting for it, so I had to order a new one. Now I will find it! I hadn't read it till years after she was gone, and it is among my soothing remembrances of her.<br /><br />I look forward to this, Laura. aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15793431217614265769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11004799.post-21414743800460412402014-04-24T08:34:08.762-05:002014-04-24T08:34:08.762-05:00Hi, I'm Marge. I was thinking I'd just do...Hi, I'm Marge. I was thinking I'd just download this book on my Kindle, but now I'm thinking I should get a hard copy of it. I had a copy a few years ago, but probably passed it along to someone else. I'm interested in seeing where this book takes me, as compared to where I was when I first read it.<br /><br />Where am I in my life now? I am in a very happy place. I'm retired and pretty much do what pops in my brain, from day to day. Some days that includes creating art, or creating something for the house, or creating dinner. Other days it means being inspired by nature, or shopping (I can get inspired by just looking at produce in the grocery store!), or by reading, or by other people. I am intentional about feeling gratitude daily. <br /><br />One of the many things I'm grateful for, is my family. My husband and I have become even closer now that we're both retired. It's second marriage for both of us, and he entered the situation having to raise 4 children after raising 2 of his own, single-handedly. So now is OUR time! My children are all adults now, and finally are all in positive relationships. I have 3 grandchildren who bring me so much joy, and a 10-year-old Golden Retriever named Shasta, our loyal friend.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to reading this book once again, and the sharing that will take place here. Thank you, Laura, for offering this opportunity. purplehatartisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15108650345893730361noreply@blogger.com
