She Sits and Shells Peas is the fourth in an ever-expanding series of mind-body-soul books that comprise tiny personal essays and short poetic pieces. In this work, the author reflects on life and love, and the continuous joyous journey of her becoming. Sitting and shelling peas is a mindful mindless art of tuning into one's inner self.

Ilis continues to entertain while inviting the reader to engage in periods of introspection. She shares mystical moments, happy happenings, and joyful oracles as they reveal themselves along the way.

Simple, ordinary language has become her trademark style as she artfully crafts essays and poems which transports the reader along this soul adventure.

Stories are birthed out of everyday living, and demonstrate the beauty and magic in nature and the so-called mundane, experiences missed by many.
