"This book celebrates our multilayered lives. Imagine a family or a group of women all the roles represented in this pages relaxing around a kitchen table. What an enriching scene for all concerned. The energy and innocence of one generation interacting with the maturity and wisdom of the others, feeding each other, nourishing each other, the women interrelating to create a richer, better whole. And then envision all the roles represented here being naturally internalized within each person present. This is not a vision of an ideal world. The experience is here and now. All we have to do is look for it, recognize it, and work toward it." ~ Tian Dayton, Ph. D.
This is what I want for all women. To stop the caddy, back handed judgement that can go on between us, and sit across from each other, differences and all and
DISCUSS. SHARE. SUPPORT.
We all have our own experience, baggage, outlooks, etc. Why not LISTEN to each other and RESPECT each other. We can't experience everything in one lifetime. So, why not share with each other with open ears and open hearts and live through each other; with each other? Wouldn't that be a nicer world to live in ?
This book breaks down every role we meet as women into prominent archetypes: The Virgin, the Huntress, the Warrior, the Lover, the Wife, the Mother, the Martyr, and the Wise Woman. Then, the book gives a meditation/affirmation to work with. Each allow you to face, greet, and be at peace in the encounter. In the same way that this generation posed, "Am I a Carrie/Miranda/Charlotte/Samantha?" Thanks to "Sex and the City" women were able to feel validated their thoughts and emotions because they were able to relate to those characters at different points/situations in their lives. These archetypes in this book go further with that and it is fascinating! You will find inspirational and challenging messages no matter the path you are currently on. This book is KEY for every female and Her LadyMess says to put it on your Must-Reads this year :) xoxo
