About the Book:
The Little Book of Living invites readers on a
journey of self-discovery. Walk through gardens, explore the woods, and
recollect memories that tickle the imagination, touch the heart, and heal the
souls. Change is a constant and all living beings learn to adapt to it. In this
ekphrastic memoir, Jo DeMars brings together her vivid photography and poetic
reflections, exploring the ways that nature helped her discover the beauty in
every day. Perhaps they'll provide a mirror on your life, suggest a new
perspective, or simply make you laugh. Life is full of joy-let's share it.

My Review:
I picked up this book intending to read one or two of the
author's essays a day, but found myself turning page after page. Never overly
personal or pedantic, DeMars shares observations and little snippets of life
with lovely accompanying photos. One of my favorite selections was "Going
the Wrong Way" something I do frequently and sometimes get mad at myself.
The author uses one such trip to her advantage by finding an unexpected place
to visit and having fun. "I need to do it more often." The Little
Book is a wonderful book to keep around and pick up when you need a pick-me-up
and also a great gift to share.
