to see past the circumstances in our lives which seem to be
roadblocks. We find, as we relate to each other, resilience within
our own spirit which adds life and color to our lives." Gladys
Taylor McGarey, MD, author, The Physician Within You and Born to
Live

acted authentically; any one of them could be a role-model who
inspires you to do what is true for you." Jean Shinoda Bolen, MD,
author, Crones Don’t Whine and The Millionth Circle
"The medicine here is twofold: demonstrations of how to be a spirit
here on earth and living examples of how the feminine works to
enliven our place in the Universe. This book will help you meet
yourself and the world." Mark Nepo, author, Facing the Lion, Being
the Lion
"I have no doubt that some of the stories in The Spirit of a Woman
will remain with me forever." Charlene Spretnak, author, Missing

"All of the women's stories are full of courage, compassion
(including self-compassion), discovery and authenticity. . . . one
can't help but feel empowered by them. The power of the stories
themselves, the writing of them, and the sharing of them in the
book, is a marvellous gift." storycirclebookreviews.org
