Simply being open to life looking differently than I thought it would has been the biggest gift.

Welcome to the Lavender Lifestyle, the podcast on personal growth and lifestyle design.

My name is Eileen and I'm here to guide you to become a master artist of life.

Every Sunday you'll get new insight and

inspiration on how to create your dream life. After the episode the

conversation continues in our lavender lifestyle Facebook group so I can't wait to see you there. Life is an art. Make it your masterpiece.

Hello my loves, welcome back to the lavender lifestyle, it's Eileen.

So before we get started today, I want to remind you that we have launched our

2021 artist of life workbook. So if you don't know what that is, it's a workbook that I've created to help you

self-reflect and plan your most intentional year. And it's also a guide to help you stay accountable

with your goals on a monthly basis. It's all the exercises that have helped me create my dream life

and I'm excited to put them together into an updated version for the 2021 workbook.

So you can find this at shop.lav and d' com to check it out see what's inside and yeah let me know what you think of it because this is a new design and I'm just super excited about it.

So today I'm excited to welcome back a guest that we've already had on the

podcast before. She's an artist and author that I adore and her name is

Mira Lee Patel.

So the first time she was on the podcast was episode 66.

If you want to go all the way back, I can't believe it was in the double digits.

But Mira just had such a warm and gentle energy that I just really appreciated her.

Plus she's just such an amazing artist and she's super humble for how successful she is.

So Mira Lee Patel is a self-taught artist and the author of Start Where You Are

Made Out of Stars, My Friend Fear, and Create Your Own Calm, which went on sale on September 22nd.
