Book description
Sarah Ban Breathnach believes that people are scaling down their
expectations of what constitutes the good life. And they should be! A
more slender purse doesn't mean we can't still live a rich, rewarding
life. We can reclaim our futures by rediscovering what it is that
truly makes us happy.
By providing a meditation for each day of the year, Sarah
illuminates our journey of self-discovery and shows us that simplicity
does not imply doing without - true simplicity illuminates our lives
from within. She teaches us how to reorder our priorities. Carve out
time for the personal pursuits that bring contentment. Savour the joy
of simple pleasures. Restore serenity to daily endeavours. Delight in
the everyday elegies of home and garden. Between the pages of this
book, readers will learn how to nurture their own creativity, nourish
their imaginations and celebrate their own styles. Not only does each
day have a meditation, but Sarah has also found the perfect quotes,
poems, reflections and excerpts from women's magazines and homemaking
books from the late 19th century through to the 1950s which are
featured throughout, giving the reader a unique scrapbook of hope and
inspiration that is bound to become a treasured resource of ideas,
advice and comfort.
