I am working on ... or more accurately, wrestling with a new book called Beautiful Brown Eyes. There will be the companion Beautiful Blue Eyes, too, but first things first.
You see, in the sales process, I often sell a book based on just a cover ... or a single spread. If a buyer "bites," then begins the process of completing the book. Sometimes this works just fine. Other times, like now, I struggle.
The thought about this book is that one's eyes show a myriad of things about one's heart. That's as far as I've gotten.
Here's my question for you ...
What do you see about someone's heart when you look into his or her eyes????? If you are reading this ... please give me your thoughts. I could use them with my deadline looming. :-)
Wow Ellen, I'll just be using your words... thanks sista!

Brown is the color of the deep rich earth...that which gives life and vitality to all. Most brown eyes that i know emit passion and emotion, soulful memory of generations who came before. Brown - eyed people are grounded in family and love. In their eyes, you see the wisdom of the ages as well as sensuality and emotion. The belong to the earth.
When I look into brown eyes, I feel embraced and enveloped more than any kind of reflection. Brown eyes absorb your emotion and nourish it before delivering it back to you.
Some brown eyes have flecks of gold, as though the brilliant sun dances upon and warms the earth and reflect happiness and light to those lucky enough to gaze upon them.
Green eyes are the color of spring- of all growing things- playful, naively innocent and happy
Blue eyes can represent the heavens or the sea-- and you can take it from there.
When I look into someone's eyes-- it is a place to see what is invisible to them and to everyone else-- it is what is on the other other side of the lens-- the rich and glorious imagination that has created beauty and spectacles that no one has actually seen, but that live and thrive in their beautiful soul.

I see thoughtfullness, kindness and creativitiy. I see enthusiasm and energy. The eyes are the first insight to a persone when you meet them; they are the first glimpse into the soul. My husband said that my eyes were the first things that he was attracted to. I have blue eyes and he said he saw a feistiness and determination. My best friend and sister have brown eyes and in both I see peacefulness, calm and reserve. They are content and thoughtful.
I just purchased one of your magnetic necklaces while traveling through Ashland, Or. I went out running errands today and had it on...I received three compliments and when I showed them how it worked they were amazed. I will certainly be purchasing them for friends and family.
good luck,
Kari Richards

I see things like kindness, traits about a person...but I'm not sure how that would be different for blue/brown/green eyes...
GOOD LUCK! Can't WAIT for this one!!
