Minimalism
Ok so this is not a typical book review, in full disclosure I just saw the Netflix documentary on these two trailblazers and their 'minimalism' ideals. I am inspired and it is perfect timing for me with my third life chapter beckoning. I encourage you all to read or view the documentary.

Book Review
Those of you familiar with "The Secret" will be across the principles of the "Law of Attraction". You may even be practicing them daily. As a Catholic I found it conflicting to go to church on a Sunday, pray, then return home and jot down my affirmations for the day, week ahead. That is until Florence Scovel Shinn!
Check out one of her most acclaimed titles "The Game Of Life and How To Play IT" (Originally published in 1925). The fact that it was written almost 100 years ago by an intelligent and articulate woman, living in New York City, really captured my heart and imagination.
Florence Scovel Shinn was an artist and book illustrator by trade and also taught Metaphysics in New York. At a time when religion was far more prominent in society she perfectly caters to those today struggling with the dichotomy of being raised with religion and now exploring their own belief system, experimenting with new age spiritualism in the modern world with all its challenges.
