Title Gift from the sea / Anne Morrow Lindbergh ; introduction by Reeve Lindbergh.

SRP 2012 REVIEW: I love this book. I re read it almost every summer as I need to reinforce the message of the importance of self nurturing and the value of solitude.

SRP 2012 REVIEW: Great book about simplicity, minimalism and slowing down life from a woman's point of view.

SRP 2012 REVIEW: The author explores the necessity of solitude and simplicity for women to regenerate the soul to carry on with our daily lives from a spiritual perspective. She makes some wonderful analogies about life's meaning utilizing the unique shapes and properties of different kinds of seashells, and shows how, when living at the beach, life is simpler and more satisfying. This is a short read, and my only complaint is that the language of the book becomes a bit flowery and repeats itself a bit; overall, it's an interesting take on the purpose of life and how we live it, and what perspectives we can take to bring more grace into our lives.
