The way I love this book and will return to it frequently though out my life. As I have been exploring my spirituality and learning more about my family I have been seeking further knowledge and looking into as many books as I can. This one is one that constantly was recommended to me or I would see it in the background of other peoples posts lol you know when you zoom in and try reading the spines on the shelf.
What resonated to me the most in this book is the deep sense to listen to my intuition and learn from my elders. There's been so much in my life that I have doubted or ignored and this book brought these moments up.
One of the parts that I loved and related so strongly to my life was when she was discussing working with her Sisters to preform a meditation, healing ritual, etc...and how these moments have women from many different walks of life and belief joined together in such a beautiful way. She discusses how they honor each others cultures and beliefs. I felt so happy reading this because I have women in my life who we come together to heal or work on something and there are aspects that I bring to the table and aspects they bring to the table. And we do so with honor and grace with each other.
I know this will be one that I reread frequently whether it's a cover to cover reread or just picking up a certain chapter that speaks to me more.
