A Person Sitting In A Serene Environment, Experiencing Nature's Beauty And Contemplating Life. Coming To My Senses: A Story Of Perfume Pleasure And An Unlikely Bride

Have you ever found yourself caught up in the chaos of everyday life, feeling detached from the world around you? The constant demands of work, relationships, and technology can easily cloud our perception and leave us yearning for a deeper connection. In the midst of this fast-paced world, it becomes essential to take a moment to pause and rediscover our senses.

Awakening the Dormant Senses

Coming To My Senses is an invitation to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery through reconnecting with our senses. It is a reminder to slow down, embrace the present moment, and engage fully with our surroundings. By doing so, we open ourselves up to a realm of experiences that we may have long forgotten.

The Power of Sight

Our eyes are the gateways to the world, allowing us to witness the beauty and wonder that surrounds us. However, in our fast-paced lives, we often take this sense for granted. Coming To My Senses encourages us to savor the visual delights of nature – the breathtaking sunsets, vibrant landscapes, and intricate details of each passing moment.

The Melodies of Sound

With the constant noise pollution in our cities and the distraction of constant notifications, our sense of hearing can become dulled. Coming To My Senses encourages us to rediscover the joy of silence and the harmonious symphony that nature provides. The soothing sound of crashing waves, the rustling of leaves, and the melodious chirping of birds can transport us to a state of tranquility.

Indulging in Fragrance

Amidst the artificial scents that surround us, we often forget the subtle nuances and intoxicating fragrances that nature offers. Coming To My Senses encourages us to immerse ourselves in the aromas of freshly bloomed flowers, the earth after rain, and the invigorating scent of a forest. These scents have the power to invigorate our minds and reconnect us to the present moment.

Tasting Life's Flavors

Modern life often pushes us towards mindless eating, where we devour our meals without truly savoring the flavors. Coming To My Senses encourages us to awaken our taste buds to the subtle delights of food. By slowing down, being mindful of each bite, and appreciating the intricate flavors, we can find joy in the simplest of meals.

Touching the World

In a digital age, our sense of touch can often be neglected. Coming To My Senses guides us on a journey to reconnect with the world through touch. Feeling the softness of grass beneath our feet, the warmth of the sun on our skin, or the comforting embrace of a loved one can reignite our senses and ground us in the present moment.

It is a gentle reminder to reconnect with our senses, allowing us to find beauty, joy, and a sense of meaning in even the most mundane aspects of life. By slowing down and immersing ourselves in the world around us, we can peel away the layers of detachment and step into a realm of vibrant experiences.

So, take a leap of faith and embark on this journey of rediscovery. Let Coming To My Senses guide you towards a life filled with wonder, connection, and profound moments that will leave an indelible mark on your soul.

A sudden love affair with fragrance leads to sensual awakening, self-transformation, and an unexpected homecoming

At thirty-six—earnest, bookish, terminally shopping averse—Alyssa Harad thinks she knows herself. Then one day she stumbles on a perfume review blog and, surprised by her seduction by such a girly extravagance, she reads in secret. But one trip to the mall and several dozen perfume samples later, she is happily obsessed with the seductive underworld of scent and the brilliant, quirky people she meets there. If only she could put off planning her wedding a little longer. . . .

Thus begins a life-changing journey that takes Harad from a private perfume laboratory in Austin, Texas, to the glamorous fragrance showrooms of New York City and a homecoming in Boise, Idaho, with the women who watched her grow up. With warmth and humor, Harad traces the way her unexpected passion helps her open new frontiers and reclaim traditions she had rejected. Full of lush description, this intimate memoir celebrates the many ways there are to come to our senses.
