Books: Whatever You Are Be a Good One {Lisa Congdon}
April 22, 2014
I love language.
I love lyrics.
I love reading and having my brain tickled by
little black scratchy scribbles on the white page.
Familiar with Lisa Congdon's hand lettering genius?
Her art is such a beautiful marriage of words and illustration.
Don't you love that quote by Flaubert above?
Lisa's new book is heartwarming and
truly makes a perfect gift...for mother's day, graduation...
Whatever You Are, Be a Good One:
100 Inspiration Quotations Hand-Lettered
by Lisa Congdon
(Ryland Peters & Small, 2014)
Today I am inspired by the power of well-chosen
words which can evoke deep emotion
or even begin to heal a soul.
Peace to you right where you are.

every one of your posts uplifts me and nourishes my spirit in some way. thanks for reading.
DeleteThese are so wonderful, Michele. What an inspiring book. I share your love of words - majored in English even though I had no clue what I'd do once I graduated. Thanks for the reminder of the impact of the words we choose. Thanks to you, I'm starting my day to be extra mindful of what I say and communicate today. You always inspire! XOXO
ReplyDeleteI've pinned a few of her images without knowing anything about her or her art. Thanks for sharing her little book, along with your wonderful little tribute to the experience of writing from the heart. There's nothing that brings me more joy (and anguish) than producing a piece of writing that I'm pleased with.
