One glimmer a day
In this book, 12 thematic chapters each hold 30 or 31 beautiful glimmers plus two aligned alternatives, amounting to one entry for every day of the year – and more than 1,000 glimmers. Learn to notice micro-moments of joy such as putting on a pair of new socks, stroking a purring cat, popping a cork, walking up a hill and looking back at how far you’ve come, finishing a jar, watching a rainbow brighten, sinking your hands into earth, being told “no rush”, reviving a dying fire, and hundreds more.
With beautiful line-drawn illustrations, exercises to help you uncover more joy, and reflections on the history and effects of glimmers, this fun, fresh book is small enough to pop in your bag – but big enough to expand your life.
Did you just taste something delicious? That was a glimmer. Notice the way the light slanted in through the window? That was a glimmer.
