STRENGTH is a wise and profound book that helps women deal with both the large and small bumps in the road of life. Here are over 125 meditations, stories and musings on becoming stronger, happier, healthier and more confident. The goals are to accept, honour and activate sacred personal strength and to embrace a wisdom that facilitates change within and encourages (or demands, if need be) the world to become a better place. STRENGTH can be read from cover to cover or more casually by choosing topics from the table of contents. Topics include: facing fear, embracing your inner Brunehilde, mirroring Jesus and Rosa Parks, sharing wisely and knowing you're good enough is no longer enough. "I hope STRENGTH becomes your ally and you can hear me cheering you on as you courageously, compassionately, and gently become stronger and more empowered. I, also, hope it will make you chuckle on occasion" --Sue Patton Thoele
