Hip Tranquil Chick

I'm thrilled to share a book that I have a personal link to. I've mentioned Kimberly Wilson before - one of my most motivating, inspiring and hippest friends! I have been lucky to be able to witness the creation of this book, from the time when it was just an idea in her head to the launch party tomorrow night.

Here's the description from Amazon...
Hip Tranquil Chick addresses that huge but unacknowledged demographic of fashionistas equally at home at Bergdorf's and the yoga studio. The book is divided into two major sections that cover all bases for the style-minded seeker. "On the Mat" shares seven must-have modern-girl yoga sequences, such as "Healing Hip Openers" and "Negativity Releasing Heart Openers", and explains yoga philosophy in hip chick language. "Off the Matshowcasees nine ways to become more fabulous and balanced by incorporating yogic qualities like introspection, strength, and flexibility into daily life. The nine lifestyle chapters reveal how to turn on-the-mat wear into on-the-town style, how to create soulful surroundings at home and work, mindful money management, finding a passion-filled career, how strategic soiree-throwing creates community, tips for practicing social consciousness, and more. Each chapter is accompanied by helpful "OMwork" to translate these concepts into reality. Abundant illustrations accentuate the text, and a "savvy sources" section encourages further exploration.

I know I'm biased, but it really is a fun read, chock full of tips, resources, ideas and stories. And this is from someone whose yoga pants have barely seen a yoga class, so don't think you have to be a yogi to get some insightful lifestyle lessons.

Somewhere I thought I might have read that having your own blog is a great way to begin your writing profession. Are you in the beginning stages of a new writing career? That would be exciting. I dare say, that I'd be first in line for your launch party. You've got talent, Kid.
