If there's a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.
~ Toni Morrison
I am beyond excited to share with you today a juicy project that I have been working on all year! Though I didn't write this book, I did compile it because it was a book I really wanted to read. I'm guessing most of you will feel the same way when you dig into this collection of wisdom, poetry and art from these intelligent, open hearted women. This was a labour of love for me and all the women involved. It is a celebration of the imagination and vision of women. The ideas in this book are important and my dream is that they will be shared widely and freely, with love, so that they can make a difference.
Here is a list of the amazing women who contributed to this book:
Kelly Diels
Martha Beck
Jan Phillips
Leah-Piken Kolidas
Kelly McGonigal
