"Gail's new journal is such a gift for us creative souls. I only wish I'd had its essence when I was born. I really displayed my innate creativity as a sickly child, when my mother gave me paper, crayons, and stuff to keep me entertained, while I had to stay in bed. I made all sorts of paper constructions including a 'good humor' bar on a stick, the inside of which was made of cotton. While my mother was pleased with self-entertainment, she continually asked me, 'How do you know how to do that?' I simply did not know, I just did. I had no answer, and she asked me once too many times. I stopped creating anything. My journey to reclaim the ownership of my 'soul' creativity has taken many many years and had many detours. Gail give us the permissions we need to take our personal space, to play, to imagine, to be self-inspired, to live outside the box along with ways to create positive support for ourselves. This kind of attention and permission is essential for us to take in, assimilate, to live with forever. She has created a major personally-involving book for anyone who wants to live an authentically creative life." -Alice Aspen March, author of the forthcoming book, Make the Most of Your Attention Factor: In Business, In Bed, and In-Between, Reviews
