I found the information in this book to be really helpful!""Admittedly, I am not much of a "mindful" person. But my friend who is kind of New Age-y bought me this book and I did enjoy it. I felt it did help me get in touch with my creative side, especially when I am trying to write and the words don't flow so easily.
