I was drawn to this book after running across Susannah's blog and decided to read it for blogging inspiration and what I assumed would be mostly a book on creativity - which it was. But it was so much more than that for me. Although I knew she touched upon grief issues, I did not expect this aspect to resonate with me. It did. I was also happily surprised that she wrote about her introverted nature as I connected to her on so many levels in this way. She gave permission to embrace one's introverted nature and showed, through concrete examples, how to use my introversion to help find my best, most true self. Finally, I loved how the author ended each chapter with a reflection which really turned out to be small creative assignments for the reader. So much wrapped up in this little book of yummy goodness!

This book is about unraveling the layers of our lives, delving beneath the surface in order to better understand ourselves, our relationships, and our path. Author Susannah Conway uncovered this process following a tragedy¿the sudden death of the man she loved. In sharing her journey of self-discovery first through her blog, then her online courses, and now in these pages, she reveals how grief reshaped her life and led her to reconnect with her creativity, make peace with her past, and learn to appreciate herself. This is a guidebook of sorts, a collection of thoughts and theories, each chapter culminating in a small creative exercise for the reader to reflect upon and apply to her own life. The author's signature dreamy Polaroid images are also included throughout. Conway reminds readers that they are not alone, that living mindfully is a process, and that unraveling is not about coming undone or losing control, but rather letting go in the best possible way. By untangling the knots that hold you back, unearthing the potential that's always been there and ditching the labels and should-haves you can let yourself be who you were always meant to be.
