Books are wonderful resources to contribute to your healing. Authors have a gift of educating, exploring, and inspiring us with stories that touch our minds and hearts. These aha moments create a deeper perspective into what is going on inside of us. I refer books to clients every day. Here is a list of books I frequently recommend. I hope you enjoy them and find them as useful and inspiring as I did.
Dream Dare Dance!
Dream Dare Dance is special to me as my colleagues and I spent years researching and writing it. We interviewed hundreds of women, who for a variety of reasons, ( empty nest, had left a domestic violence marriage, recovering from life disappointments, in the throes of an illness, etc.) created and achieved a new dream for themselves. We tell each story from the inception of their dream to the dares they had to face and overcome to achieve it, to how achieving their dream changed their life. This collection of down-to-earth stories has captured many women’s hearts and inspired them to dream. I hope the stories will inspire you as well.
