received for review

From Goodreads:
Start Where You Are is an interactive journal designed to help readers nurture their creativity, mindfulness, and self-motivation. It helps readers navigate the confusion and chaos of daily life with a simple reminder: that by taking the time to know ourselves and what those dreams are, we can appreciate the world around us and achieve our dreams.

Featuring vibrant hand-lettering and images that have attracted a large following for her stationery and textile line in boutiques across the country, Meera Lee Patel's uplifting book presents supportive prompts and exercises along with inspirational quotes to encourage reflection through writing, drawing, chart-making, and more.

Featuring inspiring quotes from writers, artists, and other visionaries paired with open-ended questions and prompts, with plenty of room for writing and reflecting, this appealing full-color book will make a perfect gift and keepsake as well as being a powerful tool for positive change. 

This isn't the kind of thing I'd normally go for-- a little too "self help" for me-- but I'm kind of a sucker for quotes.... and for art.... so.... yeah.  :)

The exercises are fairly simple introspective things that seem interesting.  (I haven't gone through and actually done them all yet.)

This could be a great gift book for this holiday season!
