“Naomi’s storytelling is warm, inviting and vulnerable—like you’re sitting down with a new acquaintance but feel like you’ve been friends for years. Women from all walks of life—whether you’re a mom, an entrepreneur, a 20 something right out of college—will see something of themselves in her essays about finding your confidence when it isn’t easy, taking leaps of faith to follow your dreams, and finding the peace in figuring it all out as you go along.”

“Whether you feel like an old friend of Naomi’s thanks to her intimate musings as a mama of 5 on her wildly successful Love Taza blog, or are curious about how her deeply personal insights might help you create a life you love, A Coat of Yellow Paint is for you. Naomi’s gift is the art of hearing the music through the noise, and she deftly and in characteristic cheerfulness (even the sad parts will make you laugh sometimes, too) guides us through what it takes to make choices with purpose and find brightness on the other side of the storm to create a life full of meaning, happiness, and plenty of reasons to use too many exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy!”

“Naomi’s delightfully entertaining essays serve up a savory selection of all the feel-good life glimpses we come to her for, from her reflections on raising a young family in the magic of the big city to her colorful creativity. More meaningful though is the calming reassurance her stories give us—that through the changes and challenges of life and motherhood, the most constant thing we have to cling to is love for our families and trust in our strong inner voice that will never fail us and will always lead us home.”

“This book gives a behind-the-scenes and heartfelt look into the life of a mother, wife, and entrepreneur who created a unique job for herself by just being herself…with all the ups and downs that come with it. Through a series of stories, you discover the lessons Naomi has learned through various points of her life—from parenting to body image acceptance to handling critique from others. Some stories are silly, some sad, some funny, and some poignant. And, they are lessons that I took away with me as I turned each and every page of this book giving a glimpse into the roots of Naomi’s inspirational story.”

“The daily pressures of work, family, and just being a person in the world can leave us feeling worn out and stretched thin. The essays in A Coat of Yellow Paint remind us to slow down, delight in small joys, and enjoy making the memories with our loved ones, especially on the days life feels like organized chaos.”

“In her book, A Coat of Yellow Paint, Naomi shares with the reader the secret of life. Through sharing her insights we come to know that when we truly understand our own unique divine purpose and identity, life becomes joyful. Naomi not only helps us relish our experiences and see the joy and humor in them but she shows us how through her example. I hope you will enjoy and learn from the truths she shares on her life’s journey and then go paint something in your life yellow! In fact, look for the brightness of yellow paint in all your own life experiences because it’s there!”
