Book Description

Publication Date: December 10, 2006

You have far more support than you realize when it comes to creating the life of your dreams. Each month of each year holds a unique energy:

January: Looking Forward, Looking Back
February: Love and Romance
March: Beauty, Health and Fitness
April: Money, Prosperity, and Abundance
May: Home, Family, Community, World
June: Leisure, Hobbies, Creativity
July: Learning and Education
August: Work and Career
September: Nature and the Environment
October: Loss, Grief, and Letting Go
November: Spirituality
December: Rhythms and Reflection

Learn ways to play with each month’s theme, including: numerology, chakras, feng shui, teas, health rituals, etc. While you may naturally want to read the chapters during the months they are named for, don’t hesitate to explore October (grief) any time loss touches your life or to look through March (beauty, health, and fitness) when you want to improve your well-being. Money issues? Turn to April. Grappling with the meaning of life? Head for November. If you are willing to pay even a little bit of attention to one area of life each month, your whole life will expand. Add some action and ritual, and it will expand even more, with less effort, and lots more fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars An innovative approach to changing your life, March 9, 2007

This book is a real gem! At once engaging and informative, Winnie Shows invites us to think about what we truly want in life and offers innovative ways to pursue our dreams. Each chapter is devoted to a specific theme (see the book description); they can be read sequentially or dipped into as they call to you. In each case the reader is invited to set an intention for that theme and to explore it through a variety of simple practices and rituals, which are organized in the same format throughout the book. The approach is playful, yet I suspect that doing even some of the exercises every month will ultimately lead to profound changes in one's life. Each chapter also contains a useful list of related resources.

This review is from: Design the Life of Your Dreams: Using the Unique Energy of Each Month to Expand the Twelve Areas of Your Life (Paperback)

I attended one of Winnie Shows' first workshops about 10 years ago where I found her information not only empowering but life changing. Since then, her monthly newsletters have helped me stay on course in creating the life I want by leveraging my time and riding the year's energies. At the end of 12 months, I've given some loving attention to all 12 key areas of my life, and each year they expand. I have been waiting eagerly for Winnie to pull all her information into a timeless book like this. I highly recommend it, and the church I attend is adopting it for a book study.
