The Feminine Connection: Freeing the Female Psyche can be ordered online: www.amazon.com. The book celebrates the feminine principle. I point out that women's self esteem is diminished when they do not appreciate the feminine side of themselves. Reviews of the book can be read at WomenWriters.net and pageonelit.com.
Q & A: What is your religion? I like to say that I'm a Universalist. (My made up term.) I make a distinction between spirituality and religion; thus I believe that all religions are right and all are wrong. When my clients are involved with a religion that enhances their life and is right for them, I am encouraging of them to continue their involvement.
Q & A: Are you married? (Because so many clients deal with relationship issues)I've been a widow since 1994. Before that I was divorced from my children's father and basically raised them as a single parent. I have been in a relationship for about three years.
My favorite for now. Tao te Ching, 22
If you want to become whole,
let yourself be partial
If you want to become straight,
let yourself be crooked.
If you want to become full,
let yourself be empty.
If you want to be reborn,
let yourself die.
If you want to be given everything,
give everything up.
