    <![CDATA[Founder and owner of the Word Garden, Mary Anne Radmacher   makes her art her life and her life an art. And in <em>Lean Forward into   Your Life </em>she invites us to do the same. Or as she says, <em>Lean   Forward into Your Life </em>is a commonplace book for leading an uncommon   life. An uncommon life need not include fame and fortune. An uncommon life   means living with intention, paying attention, celebrating, taking care of   yourself, risking love. To live an uncommon life is to live large from the   heart.   <p>Each section of <em>Lean Forward into Your Life </em>opens with a   hand-lettered aphorism in the author's signature collage style. The essays,   stories, and exercises that follow are designed to bring the reader into   her or his own uncommon life. In the tradition of The Invitation, by Oriah   Mountain Dreamer and I Will Not Die an Unlived Life by Dawna Markova, poems   that evolved into best-selling books, <em>Lean Forward into Your Life </em>is   an intimate book that leads readers into the center of their own ability to   change the world.     <p><p>* An invitation to the millions of people who want to make the most of   their lives and leave the world a slightly better place.</p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Mary Anne Radmacher has a way of inviting those who hear or read her words to change their lives, and in <em>Live Boldly</em>, she continues on that engaging path. <br/> In the book, she indentures an assortment of qualities for our life s journey and defines each as it relates to laughing loudly, loving truly, playing often, working smart, and sharing your heart. Each definition is followed by a quote, a poem, or an aphorism that explores the quality. Stories culled from Mary Anne s own life and teaching practice are followed by an invitation to readers to listen more closely to their lives, to give themselves what they need and to step back into their daily lives knowing they can choose in that moment, to live boldly by their own definition.<br/><br/>Whether readers need or want justice or gratitude, endurance or celebration, comfort or challenge, the processes is the same-read and listen to the word, enter into its meaning in the lives of others and bring that meaning to your own life. Other qualities include generosity, compassion, leadership-34 in all!]]>

    <![CDATA[Software and technological entrepreneur Huie, who came to a search for deeper meaning later in life, has teamed up with artist and writer, Radmacher, who came to it earlier through her art. Point and counterpoint, they take the reader through a process to taking charge of their own lives. The key to living an inspired life is simple: accept your past; release your expectations; embrace your choices. The truth of the matter is that the more we like ourselves, the fewer expectations we have, and the way we make conscious choices ­-- in everyday matters large and small are the keys to living an inspired life. Simply an Inspired Life teaches readers to distinguish between events and our feelings about them, to choose thoughtfully, and never blame ourselves or anyone else. Filled with inspiring quotes -- wisdom from the ages and all traditions, personal stories, and exercises, Simply an Inspired Life is based on eight guiding principles: honor, forgiveness, gratitude, choice, vision, action, celebration, and unity with all creation. They are equally important -- and practiced daily they change lives. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.simplyaninspiredlife.com">www.simplyaninspiredlife.com</a>]]>

    <![CDATA[Mary Anne Radmacher could be the Martha Stewart of inspired living—living life to its fullest. Her previous books, Live Boldly and Lean Forward into Your Life, share stories and strategies for savoring every morsel of this life and living up to our fullest potential and beyond our wildest dreams. In May Your Walls Know Joy, Radmacher returns to her signature style, combining a few poetic, aphoristic words with beautifully constructed four-color art. This book is a celebration of home and family and all that they mean—a refuge from the world, a creative incubator, where lives are lived and friends are welcome. This book is a benediction and a blessing for a new home (or for a special occasion in an old home): “May your walls / know joy, / each room / hold laughter, and every window open to great possibility. May home be the place from which you launch your dreams.”]]>
