Description
This little book is an offering of love that is perfect for grads and anyone seeking insight and guidance along life’s path. I wrote it while on a spiritual retreat prior to my 50th birthday.
It began as a letter to my then one-year-old granddaughter. There was so much I wanted to say.
A little background: I wrote this when I was at a major crossroads and was asking some Big Questions and reflecting on the paths I’d taken (and not taken) as I approached this milestone birthday. Both my parents had passed away recently, I had resigned from a career that was no longer a fit for me, my youngest child had gone off to college, and I had just cleared out and sold my parents’ house. While on retreat, I reflected on what I had learned and experienced thus far and contemplated where I wanted to go from there and what I needed to let go of.
I wrote this book for my granddaughter and for my 20-something-year-old self who was trying to figure out what direction to go. It is full of advice I wish I had back then and seeds of wisdom I’d like to plant in my granddaughter for her life journey. This little book is infused with so much positive energy! Above all, it is a message of love and self-worth.
I painted the cover papers and sewed the text blocks and decorative stitching on the outside. Each handmade book is one of a kind. If you have a particular color choice in mind, please let me know, and I will try to accommodate your preference. Please understand that the books pictured are samples that are not guaranteed to be in stock but give a sense of the general appearance.
The book measures 5-1/2″ wide and 7″ tall, the covers are made from sturdy watercolor paper, and there are are three styles to choose from: hardcover and two softcover variations. One softcover style is bound with lovely, decorative stitching around the spine, and the other is finished with decorative tape along the spine edge and (because of the way the text blocks were stitched together) lays a little flatter. Please let me know if you prefer one kind of binding over the other. If you don’t specify a color or binding choice, I will choose the one I sense resonates best with you or the recipient. 🙂
From a happy customer:
“I have read this many times, but each time I find something therapeutic, optimistic and hopeful amongst the pages. Thank you.”
Please note: If shipping charges are redundant (purchasing multiple items) or unnecessary (local pickup), I will refund the excess charge.
