I Wrote a Book You Guys! :D

wreath-divider

IMG_3092Hello most amazing friends!

I wrote a book! I wrote a book!!! :D Can you believe it?! Let me tell you preabout how it happened! So, people have asked me for years if I would write a book, and I used to be reluctant as I’d seen many of my arty friends go through the process and let’s just say; it didn’t seem without stress. :) So I uhmmed and arrhed when I got the question, but when the fine people at Quarry approached me to write a book (OMG what an honour!), I could not say no!! They totally love everything I’ve been doing with Life Book and wanted there to be a book with the most popular Life Book projects in it!!!

So, I spent many months writing, arting, taking photographs, editing and designing to make the book! And true: it wasn’t without stress, but the people at Quarry made it as painless as possible!! :) I’m so SO proud of it! I can’t wait to share it with you guys! And you can now pre-order it on amazon.co.uk and on amazon.com!! It will officially come out/ be published in January 2018! So exciting!

Let me tell you a bit more about the book and what’s in it!

supplies

I poured all my love and soul into this baby. All the self love magic, the personal development knowledge I gained over the years, all my creative hints and tips are in this book and more, with beautiful photos and uplifting/ encouraging messages for you, you YOU <3. It’s all for you, you know? :D

More than anything in this world do I want to help LESSEN the suffering and I think it begins with me and you. By anchoring the light, by sticking with love, by feeling our feelings, by treating ourselves with gentle compassion as if you are your own precious, treasured child. This is where it all starts. And as always I love helping you do that through fun, meaningful and symbolic creative exercises!!

The book contains over 20 popular Life Book projects that each include a personal development exploration. 6 projects have been contributed by some of the beloved Life Book Teachers that have taught on Life Book on different years!

The amazing contributing artists in this book are:

contributors-book-1200-notitle

Ivy Newport
Andrea Gomoll
Alena Hennessy
Roxanne Coble
Mystele Kirkeeng
Effy Wild

We combined the most popular and meaningful Life Book projects in this book. I’m so proud of it, so proud to see 7 years of creative and healing work wrapped up in this book like a precious gift. I hope it will enrich your life! :)

You can now pre-order the book on

amazon.co.uk here
and
amazon.com here

Thanks for being on this journey with me.
Much love,
Tam x

This song has been on repeat for the last 3 weeks or so. It`s so achingly beautiful and heart breaking, had to record my own version of it! I love harmonising with myself. Playing the piano and using a mic however, meant that it overwhelmed the voice a bit, will do that differently next time. ♥️♥️♥️ Best listened to on headphones.
The song is by `Novo Amor`. Here are the lyrics:
"Repeat Until Death"
Low, a part of me now
A palm to my mouth
I said it, almost
Snow, brother, I`ll bet it all gold
Shudder with blood in my nose
I had it almost
Don`t go, you`re half of me now
But I`m hardly stood proud
I said it almost
Oh, I`ve been low
But dammit, I bet it don`t show
It was heaven a moment ago
Oh, I had it almost
We had it almost
Oh, I can`t seem to let myself leave you
But I can`t breathe anymore
Oh, I can`t seem to not need to need you
I can`t breathe anymore
♥️

I had discarded this journal spread a while ago as “not good enough” and now I’m like: “heh? I really love this!” So funny how your own view of your own art can change so much after a while. Not finished yet but I like it as it is. 😊

Looking at more old journal pages! These are from around 2016/17 I think! 😊 The ‘one word’ thing has always been there for me. What I do when journalling; I draw/ paint/ scribble and then usually there is some kind of overwhelming emotional state that can be summarised or reflected in one word, so you often see words like: ‘open’, ‘stay’, ‘compassion’, ‘surrender’ on my journal pages. Like messages/ reflections from ‘my higher’ self. 😊
