Cultivating a Life of Creative Possibilities 

The art of ‘Living in the Moment’ is a much discussed topic along with ‘Mindfulness’, both of which when discovered, make wonderfully easy changes in the way you view the world.

Lisa Hopkins shares many of her reflective moments as she has journeyed on her pathway of performer and life coach in a thoughtfully created book The Places Where There Are Spaces, which will become an instant favourite will help you discover a more positive way forward.

Shared lessons, moments of joy and practical experiences rub comfortably together, as you use this book to set out on a journey of exploring not only who you are, but life itself.

Lisa Hopkins says in her life as a dancer and performer, there were always moments in between, a space between the leaping and landing that begged to be investigated. And so it is with life; there are always those intriguing spaces which bear further investigation.

There are fifty-nine small chapters, each one filled with learned wisdom, concluding with a page for jotting down thoughts and reflections. Not meant to be read from cover to cover, but can be if you are a very methodical person, you can simply select a heading that fits the moment under inspection.

How can such intriguing titles as The Many Shades of You, the very prosaic The Power of Soup or Sorting Through Your Garbage or even Life is a Wide-Open Stage fail to tease you into further investigation?

The Places Where There Are Spaces is an absolute gem and will be a ‘go to’ to help through those tough, frustrating and infuriating times we all face as we travel down life’s very winding pathway.
