Inspired Book Club
As a writer, former magazine editor, and avid reader, I love a good story and a great book. Especially ones that reveal something truly new, fascinating, magical… and inspire a quantum leap in creating an amazing life. Here are a few of my favourites.
Creating the Impossible: What it takes to bring your vision to life, by Barbra Edie
I wrote this book as my own journey of transformation and vulnerability, sharing deeply personal stories and those of other visionary leaders, about the true power of following your heart and inner guidance. It is only “impossible” until it’s done.
Reflections on the Art of Living: A Joseph Campbell Companion edited by Diane K. Osbon
In addition to my own book (Creating the Impossible), this is the one I give most frequently as a gift.

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.
Written in 1999 and still on the bestseller lists, this is one of my all time favourite books on human consciousness. I reread it whenever I need to get out of my head and into my heart.
There are a lot of books about spiritual enlightenment but Tolle’s simple language and clarity of thought brings the abstract into real life application. Most of our suffering comes from our mind. If you can master your thinking and being in the present moment rather than the past, you can transform your life.
