Synopsis

"To see sparkle in that which is ordinary transforms the day. Christine Mason Miller's work supports you in that." Mary Anne Radmacher, author of She and Honey in Your Heart

Dirty dishes, piles of laundry, a dog whining for a walk--everyday annoyances or portals to joy and self-discovery? When life takes an unexpected turn and sends you reeling, is it time to run away or sit still? Part photo diary, part art journal, part essay collection, Ordinary Sparkling Moments explores these questions and more, celebrating the deeper truths that await our discovery in some of life's most mundane moments. In these pages, author and artist Christine Mason Miller chronicles the sometimes messy, bumpy journey of finding ourselves in the simple routines of everyday life.

"In page after beautiful page, Christine Mason Miller reminds us that life's big questions simply appear and the right answers unfold - in ways we've never seen before. A journey to treasure." Karen Maezen Mille, author of Paradise in Plain Sight and Hand Wash Cold

I love this book and return to it again and again, each time feeling like Christine saved a spot for me next to the fire...ready for another beautiful conversation." Melody Ross, Founder of Brave Girls Club and Author of Choose Happy

"Reading this book I felt I had discovered a secret message of hope and wisdom written just for me. Each page conveys something true and beautiful. The shimmering love in this book will feed your heart, and you'll turn to it again and again. Truly magnificent." Jennifer Louden, author of The Woman's Comfort Book and The Life Organizer

Review:

"In this book Christine asks us, 'What does it mean to live an authentic life? By sharing some of her thoughts and experiences she attempts to peel away the layers of the created self in search of what it means to live fully open to what gives us the greatest meaning, even when that is extremely challenging." --Keri Smith, author of The Guerilla Art Kit and the forthcoming How to Be an Explorer of the World

"This book is a true gift to the spirit that lives in all of us that wants to acknowledge all that is creative and good in our ordinary, yet extraordinary lives." --Kelly Rae Roberts, author of Taking Flight: Inspiration & Techniques to Give Your Creative Spirit Wings

"Throughout the book, Christine's honesty and openness create a connection, a tie with the reader. The story is almost her autobiography ñ tracing her artistic roots through her successes and set backs ñ but there are profound nuggets of inspiration woven into her story." --Maggie Marton, Conversations With Famous Writers
