December 19, 2011I love the sounds of the Elemental Journal. I love to repurpose things, and I am having a rough spot in my life right now, so journaling would be a great way
to vocalize how I feel.

December 19, 2011Amy, Thanks for sharing this great list. What a wonderful group of books. Just checked out the links and ‘Inner Excavation’ is a book I would love to put to use. I find the idea of a self-portrait so intimidating and yet so necessary in our lives. My resolution for 2012 is to focus on me more clearly and what a wonderful book to incorporate into the resolution. Thanks for sharing these book ideas!
