I've tried to engage with this book twice but haven't made it through either time. Part of the problem is that she is telling WHAT to draw, which is basically what she drew as she worked her way through her own journey of self-help. Her lessons were too bound up with her own art and I couldn't/wouldn't pick it apart. It was disappointing to me. I had high hopes for this book. Possibly I am reading it wrong and reading other people's reviews will give me some insight on how to get benefit from this book.

When this book arrived, I was so excited to peek inside and see the treats in store for me. When I first held it in my hands, however, I felt a rush of healing energy wash over me before I even turned a page! And it just got better and better from there. Every single image in this book is a delight. The words are there to remind us that we are all human, and we are all in this together. We are not alone. Creating art is one way that we demonstrate this. My love and gratitude go to the author, Maritza, for bringing art, joy, and healing to all of us. My heart is full. Yours will be, too. I highly recommend this book for everyone. ~Karen Creamer, RN, Author of 'Honor Your Health".
