Book-spiration

Book-spiration: A New Project.

Hello all,

I am writing to inform you that I am beginning a new project here on the blog. I hope you enjoy it and that it adds value to your life.

So, here’s the deal… I am currently the proud owner of close to 400 books. I absolutely LOVE the printed word and pretty much everything about books. The feel, the smell, the way they can transport you to so many different places, I love it all.

I have been collecting books for about twelve years or so now. When I have embarked on my many journeys I’ve always had to find a place for the books. But through it all I haven’t been able to think of letting them go. Not yet at least.

I have gotten SO much value out of my books. I thought it might be nice to share the titles of some of my favorites with this community. When I thought of the name “Book-spiration” I originally was thinking of combining the words “book” and “inspiration”. However, I googled the definition of “spiration” and was delighted with the result. The main obsolete definition is “the action of breathing as a creative or life-giving function of the Deity”

Woah. Cool.

This made me think of the creative force itself. Inspiration as a deity. Inspiration as a conscious force with volition and wit. (I especially like Elizabeth Gilbert’s opinions and ideas on this, which she discusses in her book Big Magic.)

Anyway, these books I’ll share have moved me and have urged my creative spark to keep sparkin’!

For now Episodes of “Book-spiration” will come out every other week. I hope you enjoy this resource. Thank you for your time and support.

Sincerely,

Brennah
