“Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.”

Happy Tuesday beautiful hearts! Today I want to share an amazing and inspiring book with you. In the Company of Women: Inspiration and Advice from over 100 Makers, Artists, and Entrepreneurs, by Grace Bonney is not only a visual masterpiece, it is compelling reminder to dedicate oneself to the passionate stirrings from within. Most often as she has discovered these stirrings have been with us since childhood.
From the moment you turn the first pages, you are greeted by an amazing community of inspiration. "Activist Marian Wright Edelman said, 'You can't be what you can't see.' Visibility is one of the most powerful tools we have in inspiring people to pursue their dreams and educating them about all the amazing options that exist."
So my beautiful friends when I look up visibility the various definitions are, 'the relative ability to be seen under given conditions of distance, light, atmosphere, etc. , the state or fact of being visible.' As I think about visibility in my own life, I am reminded that conditions are not always optimal, but WE are optimally built to THRIVE. This book is a gigantic shout-out to the courageous woman within, to the cavernous dreamer, and to the artists, entrepreneurs and doers that make themselves visible. What are you waiting for beauties? We are here to encourage one another. To dance in the fires of creation. To stir the pot of possibilities. To invite faith to the feast table.
All I can say is that you need to add this book to your must read for 2017! Whether you are in the midst of creating your brand, discovering your talents, rebuilding your image, or starting a second career- these women are going to inspire the heck out our your journey! Their willingness and courage is a testament to growing the successful artist that resides within the walls of our hearts. Did you ever stop to think that your willingness to be bold, take risks, and be vulnerable might inspire someone in your life?
As Grace reminds her readers, "While each woman's story is unique, their messages are universal. They've overcome adversity, gone great distances on their own, and learned the power of working together to achieve their goals."
See your talents. Embrace your authenticity. Own your adversity. Take it all in...and then be willing to be visible. The world needs to see YOU!
May You Sweetly Seek:)
In Gratitude,
Sarah
