So maybe stop asking questions for a bit and just sit and be with me, then together we can dance with the thought of how lovely being in a moment can be...

If a swim in the ocean, walk in the sand, or time spent in nature stirs up something in your soul, Rebekah Steen's book might be right up your alley. Sunny Thoughts For Salty Souls is a collection of poems and thoughts written over the past decade or so via sandy beaches, rainy nights, airplanes, early morning coffees, hammocks, long runs, moody days, and while staring at the horizon waiting for waves.

After years of receiving messages about how many of her poems hit home or were just what someone needed to read, it was about time they were all compiled together. The result is a book that's one part simple, relaxing, and gorgeous, and one part feeling like you stumbled on a unique journal of that cool Aunt who is a great listener, drives an old Bronco, and just got back from a road trip through Mexico.

Photos that give you a visual, "insert self here" escape, illustrations, poetry and scribbled thoughts fill up the pages of this lovely li'l book and it will hopefully be a shot of sunshine or a dash of salt for your soul whenever you flip through its pages.
