a guide to help us age gracefully......

"Are we human beings on a spiritual path?.....or,.....Are we spiritual beings on a human path?......"



I picked up a copy of, " Crones Don't Whine, concentrated wisdom for juicy women." by Jean Shinoda Bolen M.D. ,  at a little bookstore in Vancouver. It was a gift for a relative so I only had time to scan the little book. I will be ordering a few copies at my local book store tomorrow. It is a quick read and a wonderful, uplifting reminder of  qualities we should all cultivate as wise women. An affirmation of our power years!......... a guide to help us age gracefully......at only $15 it is the perfect, small, energizing gift.

The quotation I began with is from the book and the name of my next series of paintings....nothing like a little inspiration!....heading to the studio to play  work......juicy is not a word I would usually use but this book is juicy. Gift yourself a big lift.... it was just what I needed the other day........

the word 'crone' is from 'krone' - meaning crown
so was originally describing the period of a woman's life when she was supposed to have reached the height of her wisdom and powers
an old Crone was not to be trifled with!

Hi Susan ERICKSON!
Since we have the same last name wouldn't it be great if we were related? Thanks for the book tip. I have four sisters so it might make nice gifts. Have a wonderful day!
