Title: Naturally, She’s Dreaming
Author: Susan Lukas
Pages: 76
So, when I first read a little about this book, I wasn't
really interested in it. I figured it was one of those slow books that feels
physically painful to read. I want to put that to an end and say it’s not one
of those books. It’s one of those books that takes you through a personal
journey. Then, once you’re done reading, you find yourself sitting in place,
daydreaming and thinking about your strengths and weaknesses. It’s not heavily
religious, it’s lightly spiritual. It’s the perfect combination.
The photos are absolutely gorgeous and creative. I found
myself completely inspired and moved just by the photos. The words are just as
moving. Truly beautiful work. Once the Author explains what she put together in
order to create the photos, my jaw dropped. A lot of the words that are used
really dig deep. Susan Lukas allows you to think, consider, and imagine beyond
what the naked eye can see. It allows your soul to open up and see as well.
My OCD is fascinated with the fact that these photos have a
specific organization to them. Also, the information that is placed in this
book… inspired me to go out in nature and allow myself to relax more. I
typically go outside and am in an instant urge to get where I am going rather
than stopping to take a deep breath. I have really bad social anxiety after the
Army but nature does drastically calm me down. I try really hard to get to a
quiet place without being bothered or disturbed for long periods of time. I
feel encouraged reading these words to fight to be out in nature and to allow
myself to let go of all of the stresses that prevent me from relaxing and
enjoying nature without having to be somewhere.
In all honesty, I’m incredibly happy I read and looked at
the beautiful pictures in this book. For those of you who need a boost of
inspiration or a form of motivation, take the time out to read this book. Don’t
just read it like it’s another book out there. Read it like your life depends
on it. Read it with an open mind. Look at the pictures and then close your eyes
and let the photos give you that chance to travel to a place in your
imagination. If you haven’t already picked up this book, I recommend you do so
now.
