Life Coach and author, Carolyn Scarborough, has a way with words. In her beautiful book, Backyard Pearls, Cultivating Wisdom and Joy in Everyday Life, she presents gems we can discover in our day to day lives to step up the joy. This book is absolutely loaded with wonderful, and yet simple, ideas shared with the reader in a cozy friend-to-friend tone.

As a coach, I've found the book to be a great resource for exercises to do with clients and groups. Because the chapters are just a few pages and each closes with a "Discover Your Own Pearls" prompt there is an abundance of good stuff here to draw from and be inspired by.

This book is one of my current favorites and one I highly recommend. You can learn more at
