Imagine the Life You'd Love to Live, Then Live It: 52 Inspired Habits and Playful Prompts

by Peg Conley (Illustrator)

Peg Conley has been an artist all her life, but, like many of us, took a long detour into the working world -- in her case, corporate sales, where she found a lot of success and was able to raise a happy family. Art became the thing she did on vacations, weekends, and when she could carve time out of her busy life. Something gnawed at her, a nagging feeling that life might hold something else for her in the midst of it all. Then came the big "aha" moment. Peg heard a small voice inside: "Imagine the life you want to live, then live it. It's that simple!" Her family encouraged Peg to pursue her passion. Despite a great deal of fear, Peg dropped her big job, big house, and big life and moved to San Francisco to start a business based on her artisan stationery. From a handful of hand-painted cards, calendars, and posters, her company Words and Watercolors was born and has been inspiring people, winning awards, and raking in the sales ever since. Peg's intention with her work is to inspire and her art and writing all speak to life's great truths and those aha moments.

A shallow self-help guide based on the Law of Attraction. Though fluidly written, the book offers little in the way of fresh ideas; it’s all well-worn advice, as evidenced in chapters entitled “Move beyond Your Comfort Zone” and “Practice Random Acts of Kindness.” Disappointing for someone who was hoping for a practical guide to self-transformation.

A lovely and inspirational book that offers guidance and comfort to all passengers on this journey we call life. Thank you to Edelweiss and Cleis Press/Viva Editions for the opportunity to read an e-galley of this book and to imagine the life I'd love to live...

This is a support book for emotional times of your life. It has ideas to uplift you and help make changes for a better outlook in attitude and life style. It gives you a simple idea like going to the zoo or mailing a letter and being positive. A nice gift.

Just what it sounds like. I especially liked 101 Things to Do, Be, Have.
