I have been reading this book, "How to Be an Explorer of the World: PORTABLE LIFE MUSEUM" by Keri Smith the last couple of weeks. This is a wonderful book for people of all ages who are curious about everything in this world. I have been naturally curious all my life; especially being a Gemini, I'll read about everything and try something at least once.

In this colorful, fun, and engaging book, the author encourages and teaches us how to look at the world with new eyes and to be more conscious of our surroundings through various activities & exercises -- you'll be creating, documenting, and collecting, thus creating your own "museum." I love being outdoors and looking at random things, so I'm excited to see how my "museum" comes alive as I collect artifacts throughout the year.
