Allison Arden had never really intended on writing such a book. After her 40th birthday she decided that she needed to do something to get back the passion in her life. It can be said that she had an “aha moment in her life” and decided to start living life rather then just going through the motions.
From that day onwards she started doing activities which she did incorporating her love for arts and crafts. She experience immense joy and freedom in her new found approach to living and this let her to write the fully illustrated and designed THE BOOK OF DOING.
There are 94 fun activities such as Draw yourself as a cartoon character and filling out my wish for the year 2012 which Monkey boy really enjoyed doing. You just have to flip the pages and I’m certain that you will find activities which appeal to you.
My thoughts on the book.
Monkey boy and I really enjoy doing some of the activities listed in the book and this book certainly does help give us ideas on how to engage in interesting task throughout the summer vacations. It is a great book if you are looking for some inspiration to spark off the passion inside you. I like the idea that it makes you think outside the box and encourages curiosity and creativity.
