THE GIFTS OF IMPERFECTION
BIG MAGIC I was so excited about the release of this new book from one of my favorite authors , Elizabeth Gilbert ( who also wrote Eat , Pray Love and The Signature of All Things ).

There are so many important lessons in here for all of us who want to inspire , create , and connect with the world but are sometimes blocked from doing so . This book gives us all hope that creativity isn ’ t for the lucky few , but is a birthright of our own humanity . 35

THE
RISE
From celebrated art historian , former curator of the MoMA , and teacher Sarah Lewis , this book takes an interesting look at how our most creative endeavors — from innovation to the arts — are not achievements but corrections after failed attempts . After hearing Sarah speak last year at the ASCD conference in Houston , I can say this book is a MUST-READ for all educators .
THE GIFTS OF IMPERFECTION
If you need a little “ pick me up ” or as a reminder that our uniqueness is exactly what the world needs , then you need to pick up a copy of this book . So often , we pursue pathways because we think it ’ s what we should do , rather than because it ’ s our passion . This book helps peel back the layers and guides us all in embracing who we really are .
