Check it out: The Inspired Way: a free e-book of 22 phenomenal women on inspiration & insight for living your ideal life

Every time I log onto skirt.com I always learn something new. I love how this is a community where we share information and insights with each other, with the goal of enriching and improving our lives. It is in this spirit that I would like to introduce you to the recent publishing of an free e-book titled The Inspired Way: Inspiration & Insight for Living Your Ideal Life. Curated by Ariane Hunter and Kate Watson, is a collection of essays by 22 phenomenal women each speaking to a different theme on how to live a inspired, purpose-driven life. In what I describe as a beautiful life-guide resource, The Inspired Way's authors address topics ranging from self-discovery, evolving, intuition, risk, (and even sex!) with "been there" authentic, real-life perspectives.

The Inspired Way has certainly sparked and energized me. It has also validated a lot of the feelings I have about pursuing my dreams-- the fears and the hopes-- and from that I draw strength from their experiences.

The women contributors of The Inspired Way are passionate about living their best life and for most, being creative in some capacity is essential to that goal. Some are photographers, some are artists, and others are illustrators. As a graphic designer and writer, I identify with honoring that part of myself to feel complete. There are also women who are life coaches, career coaches and writers, yet they each also speak to the importance of living an authentic life and pursuing whatever dreams and passions your heart may call you to do.

I encourage you to download a copy of The Inspired Way. Or at least check it out. I promise you fill find something in it that speaks to you. Go to www.theinspiredway.net. Its pages, filled with beautiful images and insightful words, is just the boost of encouragement that is a great start to 2012 and your journey toward living your full, amazing, passionate, and uniquely wonderful life.
