Summary: A post-adolescence masterpiece
Comment: I opened this book and found myself...I could relate to everything listed, from the strong friendship bonds to the muckiness feelings to the exasperation of waiting for him to call, and then feeling horrible for "editing feelings"...I am also 23 and never have I found a book that so realistically contains the everyday thoughts my friends and I go through...the challenges that come along with growing into yourself, and the constant reminders that through everything, the world is full of inspirations. Sabrina's moods swing from low-self-esteem days to feeling brave and youthful. And through everything, she notices the small things that are really important in life, as well as the importance of her faith.Thank you for this book, Sabrina! You are truly a kindred spirit.

Summary: a feast for the senses, a glorious keep-you-up-all-nite gem
Comment: i just got a bad haircut and the first page i flipped to in Sabrina ward Harrison's SPilling Open was about how "mucky" she felt in her new too-short haircut... i was hooked. The enchantment! The beautiful mess that it is! And she is YOUNG! My age, as a matter of fact, but that certainly doesn't limit its charms and emotions to only 20-something gals. Limitless, enlightening, Sark-like yet quite more real in the sense that you feel as if you are reading someone's journal, their most secret fears and wishes. And all in VIBRANT collage form, paint and masking tape, photographs and mascara smears.
I love her honesty, her confusion, her REal-ness. I have been inspired to take up my painting again, to be more sensual and alive.
Please experience this book. IF you are human and tired of media stereotypes of beauty, happiness, etc... BUY IT! Throw out the skinny tight pants and be free. :)

Summary: Amazing
Comment: Sabrina's books are amazing: the art, collages, and writing are beautiful and beautifully blended together into these dreams of books. Her books are extremely intimate and personal, which is what makes them vulnearble, honest, and moving- there is a true connection in these books that is rarely found. Her books are such an exploration of herself, and because they are so poignant and deeply-delving, there is raw human truth and universality. Yes, her books are about herself- on the surface. Just as the concept of radical self acceptance may seen adolescent or simple- on the surface. But to truly live that concept is difficult and rare- these books take you through that process of moving past some cliche ("accept yourself") and into the marrow. Beneath the surface, the book goes beyond being about Sabrina, into being about every person. Sabrina's journals are truly exceptional- the brave writing, the power of each word, the watercolors, photographs, calligraphy and collages.
