Breathnach, Sarah Ban: Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy, Warner November 15, 1995 ISBN: 0446519138
,,Signed and inscribed by author.\nThis book features 366 essays penned from a woman's perspective. Sample topics include gratitude, harmony, self-nurturing, positive body image, the importance of scented linen closets, and many others. Each essay sports a pithy quote from (surprise!) the likes of Kahlil Gibran. Viewed uncritically, it's hard to argue with Simple Abundance's earnest admonitions to appreciate life, in all its messy imperfect excellence. And the fact that serenity and happiness are each in dreadfully short supply can excuse some of the treacly writing. But Breathnach sometimes lapses into what can only be described as her "Martha Stewart on Prozac" voice, and the results are aggravating to the extreme: "If you've been hesitant to strike up a reciprocal relationship with your guardian angel, don't be." Fans of guardian angels will greet these feel-good essays every morning with the rising sun, a cup of mint tea, and a bluebird chirping on the windowsill, and be happy. Skeptics will prefer their coffee very black.

Breathnach, Sarah Ban: THE ILLUSTRATED DISCOVERY JOURNAL: CREATING A VISUAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF, New York Warner Books, Incorporated 1999
ISBN: 0-446-52144-2 New

<strong> Description: From the author of the bestselling "Simple Abundance" and "Something More" comes the means to create a personal visual autobiography. This oversized volume allows plenty of space for collages, drawing, and other outlets for readers' creativity, guided by essays by the author. <P> "Want to know your future? <BR> Forget tarot cards or the Ouija board.<BR> Within these pages your own private oracle is waiting to be consulted." The understanding, reassurance, and guidance offered by Simple Abundance and Something More have helped millions of women discover their true thoughts and feelings and uncover what author Sarah Ban Breathnach calls "the authentic self." Now Sarah invites you to continue that journey, but with an important difference. This time, she asks you to put aside your intellectual, reasoning self-and unleash your playful, intuitive, creative powers. "Think of each collage you create in this book as a detailed dispatch from your subconscious mind to your awakened self." The Illustrated Discovery Journal puts you on the path of pure intuition and feeling. Here you'll collect random pictures that appeal to you-images culled from periodicals or cut out of catalogs, photographs, or postcards. And here, with Sarah's encouragement, you'll reverently and reflectively assemble them into collages that reveal just about anything you might ever want to know about yourself. Your passions. Your preferences. What tickles you. What ticks you off. What makes you happy. From discovering why a certain shade of blue makes you smile, to suddenly comprehending the source of a problem in a friendship, to recognizing your deep spiritual beliefs, the nine sections of The Illustrated Discovery Journal will lead you to the hidden side of your authentic self as no other book can. "I believe that you'll find collage to be an incredibly powerful, imaginative, and enjoyable way to bring new messages to yourself. So get to it and have a blast! Blessings on your courage." -Sarah Ban Breathnach. Published at Twenty THree dollars. </strong> Hard Cover
