Books That Shake Things Up
Since I first posted this blog nearly two years ago, I’ve read so many more books that shake things up I thought it was time to add a few more. The first five on the list are the newest additions to a growing list of books that help me on this whacky, precarious, but fulfilling creative journey. I put Donald Miller’s book, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, first because it is JUST THAT GOOD. He’s kind of like a female Anne Lamott — simultaneously irreverent and poignant.
This book selection helps me think out-of-the-box about my life and my work. The books are not just for artists — they get you thinking no matter what you do. Some are practical guides; some are memoirs of people courageously changing their own paths. All are good.
