Gathering the bones This book found me as my mother lay dying in the next room. I was just walking around her house and I came to the bookshelf and looked up and there it was, the title just jumped out at me. I picked it up and started reading it and it was one of the most eerie experiences of my whole life. My sister had bought this book for my mother, but she didn't like it. She couldn't have because my mother was The Collapsed Mother with Frozen Feeling, Frozen Creativity. I never saw her create a single thing growing up or even before her death. Anyway, this book is a great read and it does ring so true that it cannot be denied. I continually return to this book for reminders and encouragement to sing, snuffle, dance and howl!!
Women Who Run With The Wolves Women Who Run with the WolvesA very insightful book delving into the mysteries of women. It helps us to find out who we really are, what makes us tick and to lead our lives in our truth. It teaches women to trust their intuition and be free and unafraid to let go and be yourself. This is done by story telling and explaining the meanings behind the stories. Thoroughly recommended for any woman searching to find themselves.
Powerful, enlightening and ejoyable for every woman This book travels with me around the world. I refer to it often, similiar to the way some people use a bible. There is a gentleness, understanding, humor and depth to every section of this profound piece of literature. She discusses and addresses almost every challenge, idea, and part of female life today. No book has impacted every aspect of my life before; CEO, mother, devoted wife, pilot and loyal friend. This book has been a favorite gift to the other women in my life and has been appreciated each time.
