About the Book
When life knocked Wendi Knox down, hundreds of red dragonflies lifted her up. What she learned from them was so life-changing, she just couldn't keep it to herself.
From Muck To Magic is a one-of-a-kind inspirational book. With heart, art and humor, it takes women on a poetic journey from the muck of self-doubt to the magic of self-love.
An award-winning storyteller for brands like Honda and Acura, Wendi created this book to change the stories we tell ourselves.
Through whimsical yet profound paintings and words that seem written personally for you, the dreaded blues and greys of life literally become rainbows of possibility.
From Muck To Magic is a balm for the soul of any woman, at any age, who finds herself stuck in the muck of change, growth, worry, loss, fear, grief, overwhelm, inertia, exhaustion or the mere messiness of life.
Within its deceivingly sweet, colorful pages is a powerful blueprint for transformation. And an invitation for every woman to rise up from her personal muck to bring her own unique magic into a world that has never needed it more.
