DESCRIPTION:
Lee E Smith Jr said 5 Stars for this AMAZING BOOK that can JUMP START your inner creativity!. Randy's perspective on life & awakening your inner creative spirit is inspiring. This book can change your course of creativity. As an entrepreneur, I found many concepts for my business as well as life lessons that will continue to help me develop and achieve the impossible. Thanks Randy for creating such an amazing read!. A roadmap for each of us in our creative efforts Far more than simply a narrative experience on the construction of a Morris chair, Randy guides the reader to their own path of DIY success by means of unlocking their inner creative potential. His year-long construction efforts allowed him the unique opportunity for self-reflection along the way, and tangible benchmarks for the rest of us to recognize along our own creative journey. I highly recommend this book for anyone, as we all possess a unique spark for originality and self-accomplishment. Randy's story will inspire, and help you fully realize your own personal g.

Mindful consideration of change, fear, acceptance, choice making, and belief through the process of making the chair encourages you to embark upon your own personal creative efforts. Humans are genetically endowed with minds and methods to physically create and make real the important things of their lives that point to improved health and happiness.
