Fostering a new renaissance through creativity, authenticity, spirituality, and art

Because I liked Gretchen Rubin’s Happiness Project so well, I nabbed her sequel when it came out in Costco several years ago, but never read it until now.
This is a book about cultivating women leaders in the workplace. It is a balanced examination of the issues involved, and is an enlightening, practical, and interesting read.

I loved this book by Danny Gregory and give it five stars. It has a short excerpt by different artists about their travel journaling practice, complete with materials they liked and why they do it, accompanied by some photos of their work.
