5.0 out of 5 stars The beautiful power of creative women to change the world!, December 28, 2011
This review is from: Desire to Inspire: Using Creative Passion to Transform the World (Paperback)
This book is so absolutely inspiring and full of mini-biographies of several incredibly creative women, most full-time artists, who use their gifts to make the world a better place, to help others and to make positively beautiful differences in every way imaginable. Also included are ideas and prompts and beautiful quotes that you will want to return to over and over again.

This is so much more than a "how-to" book....it is a look into the creative process and thoughts behind why all of these women do what they do...and a call to action to EVERY person to find a way to take your creative gifts to make your home, your community, your town, your state, your country, THE WORLD into a better place....

I LOVE IT! I will giving this book as a gift to many many friends.
Highly recommended.
