Claiming Your Creative Self

by Eileen M. Clegg, Margaret McConahey, Susan Swartz, et al.

This engaging book of true stories looks at 13 women who have learned to tap into their creativity and recognize the artist within. To the casual observer, each woman might appear to have an ordinary life, but a closer look reveals that something truly magical is occuring. This book opens the door to new definitions of creativity and shows how women have rediscovered unexpected or neglected creative impulses and found nontraditional ways to express them in daily life.

If you have ever told yourself it's too late to do piano lessons, art lessons or whatever your creative nitch may be, then you must read this book. It's not a book that says, "Here's the ten steps to creativity and happiness," it's simply real life stories about other women who have done it. These women have proven that it's possible to be creative and fit it into your life in powerful ways. As a result, they have a deeper sense of meaning in their lives. They are an inspiration. This book will no doubt bring a smile to your face and make you breathe a sigh of contentment. Sometimes the best things to read are simply stories about everyday people doing what so many think is impossible. Are you looking to feel something other than the chaos of busy schedules and/or the demands of motherhood? The solution: A bubble bath, a glass of wine and this book.
