Find your way to a life full of wonder, intention, and possibility. In The Way of Wonder, co-founders of the inspiring jewellery brand, Waxing Poetic, Patti Pagliei and her partner John invite you to take a journey full of wonder and vibrant living.

With thoughtful poems, powerful sayings, and heartfelt essays and invitations, this beautifully illustrated book will lead you through a voyage full of 'nows' so that you live a more intentional life. Find more joy in the ordinary, learn to trust the universe, have the courage to see the hope in the darkness, and free yourself from the confines placed on you by societal standards.

Divided into four parts: The Invitation, Magical Gateways, Exalted Encounters, and Ongoing Celebrations, this book serves as an invitation for you to discover the wonders in your everyday life, make meaningful connections, and appreciate the little moments that make living so very precious. The chapters within each section touch on different concepts dealing with courage, doubt, joy, fear, trust, growth, love, hope, and much more. Each chapter reveals the ways in which you can find wonder and how your life opens up to possibility when you do.

By the end, we learn that within each moment, we can find a piece of ourselves, of our truth. Accept the invitation to The Way of Wonder and let yourself lead the life you always wanted.

About the Author

Pagliei Collection Inc came into being, as one might expect, by assembly, experiment, love, tradition, and chance. Sisters, Patti and Lizanne, perpetual storytellers, share a reverence for intimate narratives, invented traditions, saints of all sorts, and the alchemy that happens when these fuse with devotion, wonder, love, and invention. In 2001, in tandem with a variety of other projects, they decided to take a risk, collect some friends, pray, and make a go of it. Paliei Collection Inc is the ever-evolving result of that process.Pagliei Collection Inc is a brand built by (and for) idealists. We see a dedication to the principles of love, fairness, compassion, and a deep-seated belief in the interconnectivity of all things as fundamentals: essential components of our creative process, company culture, and overall brand ethic. We make things we love, and hope you like them too.Our headquarters is located in beautiful oceanside Carpinteria, CA. We also have 2 retail locations. One is located in the small charming beach town of Summerland, CA, and the other is in Santa Barbara, CA.John Simpson is an entrepreneur and the co-CEO of Waxing Poetic. He also runs his and his wife Pattis experiential boutique: The Shopkeepers. An outdoor enthusiast and nature lover, John encourages his family's ongoing wonder-filled adventures. He is also the lead singer and harmonica player in The Doublewide Kings band.
