Her enthusiasm for all facets of self-care is utterly infectious and every page of this book holds beautifully simple ideas every woman can incorporate into her daily life. I’m already planning my next Bed Day!” –Susannah Conway, author of This I Know: Notes on Unraveling the Heart

Featured Tranquilista: Melinda Parkhurst, aka The Suburban Hippie, revels in all things creative while trying to be kind to the earth.
You will find her dabbling in all manner of creative endeavors surrounded by fabrics, paper, paint and glue, shopping thrift and vintage stores, digging in the dirt in the garden, stirring a pot on the stove or exploring where ever she finds herself.
She believes that everyone who desires to be creative can find their artistic voice even with limited resources. It takes letting go of expectations and enjoying the process of creative play. She hopes that by sharing her adventures, you’ll, too, be inspired to create.
