Here are some of my favorite quotes from it: It addresses issues like perfectionism, creative blocks, and motivation. If you are in need of some motivation and don't have time to read The Artist's Way series (which, by the way, I also recommend), it's perfect for you. Carry it in your backpack, put it in your purse, or on the back of your toilet. It's an easy read, barely over a hundred pages. You could cross out the title word Art and write LOVE & Fear, and the same concepts apply. ![]() Earn it.Įverything I read in this book could also apply to the art of relationship. Stop coveting other peoples talent, skills, lessons. In talking about other's "magic" in their work the authors write: "Their magic is theirs. The writers explore the human need for acceptance, fear of failure, communication sensibilities between your work and yourself versus your work and the outside world. Specifically, it uses art and fear to talk about how our choice to have courage or not drives the degree of light you will manifest in your own life. What I love about this book is that it uses art to talk about life.

This is easily done by marking off the area with blue tape and painting carefully below. Although for fun, I often paint a wall 36 inches from the ground up. This trick adds color and anchors the space while keeping a fresh and open feel.Ĭharacter: I love white bedrooms, or sometimes ivory. Rachel painted a 36″ portion of this room’s walls in a bright and fresh shade of pink. Here are my favorite tips for a romantic bedroom design. I rarely make my bed, but my bedding is always so abundant and sumptuously soft that methodically turning back the duvet and sheets and fluffing up the pillows makes the bed look heavenly. ![]() I consider all five senses and don’t get too hung up on a bedroom being neat and tidy. ![]() A limited color palette, like this romantic space with deep, dusty purples and pinks, inspires a relaxing mood. I believe the simpler the room the more peaceful it is. It is where we have our first thoughts of the day and our last. Selecting the right palette for the bedroom is important because it should feel like a sanctuary. Throughout my many moves and whether my home is large or small, my formula for decorating a bedroom remains the same: It must be a place to inspire peace of mind. A soft color palette, ornate details and the charm of vintage patina characterize this Shabby Chic space.

I wasn't expecting the villan to be who I thought it would be.although, looking back, I didn't like the person in question, but I didn't know how they fit in to the over all mystery.all the clues lead to that person tho. It was interesting to listen to Miranda's view and then take a moment to know what Ben was experiencing too. That was a neat twist and the solution to the problem took on two point of views. When we finally get to the unveiling of the mask, I didn't guess 100% correct, but I was on the right track. I wanted to scream "About time!" Talk about being teased. Each time the characters came together they moved to a new base, until they finally reached home. It was easy to identify the systematic formula used to lead us into the passionate moments. The weakest part of the book, for me, was the romance. So it is quite obvious that they both have trust issues to work through. Miranda said it the best.she was his partner but not his wife. They don't even have sex for the longest time because of it. Ben hides behind a mask, like in the Phantom of the Opera, not letting anyone see him. This is where our main characters first meet. She also has an identity in the underworld of London as Pan. She has the power to create fire but refuses to use it or tell anyone about it. ![]() The story is about a beautiful woman, Miranda, forced into marriage by her father. ![]() |
