"The
Goddess Who Forgot That She Was a Goddess" Once upon
a time there was a goddess who forgot that
she was a goddess. (It's hard to
believe, but it's true!) She lived
up high on a beautiful hill, but didn't
see any of it, because of the sadness
in her heart. Until one
day she received an unexpected invitation
to go into the forest.... You're
invited to join the goddess on her
adventure, and savor the enchanting story,
inspired artwork, and playful and
meaningful moments. As the goddess
connects with her hidden longings, you might
see deeper still, into your own precious
core divinity, and find yourself
experiencing that place where all hearts
joyfully join together in the mystery. This
story from Spirit is for people of all
ages -- to soothe our sadness -- and
nurture our divine blossoming. The
high-quality hardcover book is beautifully
illustrated with original artwork,
making it a delightful treat for yourself
and a keepsake gift for others. It
indirectly and experientially touches on
various themes, including the
spiritual nurturing of nature, the
empowering transformation of emotional
healing, and the blessing of authentic
divine connection between people. It
contains no particular religious dogma,
making it appropriate for people on a wide
range of spiritual paths, or none. To learn
more, or get your very own copy, just go
to The Goddess
Book webpage. Soon,
you'll be able to enjoy and share this
wonderful story! p.s. It's
wonderful to read this story aloud to others
-- and have them read it to you!

Dear friends and allies --
During these challenging times, I am so
grateful for everyone who looks for ways to
cultivate the light, the divine beauty, in
our everyday lives.
It can make such a difference when we find
ways to soothe, nurture, and empower ourselves
and others. Through this, we can find our
calm center, connect to the divine flow, and be
available for the sparkling magic that always
infuses this world and beyond.
That's why I love being able to share my
Goddess book -- as a beacon of light -- a
source of comfort -- and a way to remind
ourselves and each other of the divine beauty in
this world and in ourselves!
So I invite you to
consider who might enjoy dipping in this
book's sacred waters -- savoring the
beautiful sweetness, feeling deeply soothed
and loved, and reconnecting to the
enchantment of Life.
It truly can add magic to your holiday gift
list!

* A PERSONAL NOTE. I've
had a busy year, with various challenges and
projects -- as many of us have. So
sharing the sweetness of this book for the
holidays is a blessing for me too!
This year has brought some wonderful
successes with the book -- such as getting The
Goddess into two top distributors (New Leaf
and Baker & Taylor). This is a notable
accomplishment! Being with them makes it easy
for The Goddess to be ordered by nearly all U.S.
bookstores (and many spiritual stores) -- both
for them to special order it for a customer AND
to keep it in stock. The Goddess is even
available through Barnes & Noble!
I hope that having this book in this wider
range of venues makes it even easier for folks
to get their very own copies of The Goddess
-- and experience and share its nurturing
sweetness!
* MY REQUEST:
I invite you to please consider ways you
might help support this project of my heart
and soul, during this critical time for it.
This is really a divine mission for me, and
I've been working hard to create openings for
its magic to sparkle in the world. I am
grateful for any help in getting this sweet
message out through those openings. Even small
actions by you can make a big difference!
So, for instance, in addition to buying
books, you can:
* SEND me a selfie of you and/or your giftee
with the book.
* LIKE my professional Facebook page. (There are
also Goddess book posts there that you can
forward into Facebook.)
* EMAIL me your experience of the book. (Would
you recommend it to others? What did you value
about it?)
* POST your positive reviews of the book online.
(I have a list of direct links here.)
* ENCOURAGE stores to carry the book.
* PICK UP book postcards, and SHARE them with
people, groups, event tables, etc. (You can get
them at the AIM Mail Center in Sebastopol, near
Sebastopol Hardware.)
* INVITE me to do a reading or signing at a
gathering.
* WRITE about The Goddess in your periodical,
and encourage other media to do the same.
* SELL The Goddess at your store or event booth.
(Contact me for more information.)
* INVENT something else! Feel free to share your
ideas and proposals with me. :-)
* AN INVITATION: I also
invite you to offer your input to my
developing book donation program. Do
you know of a group that might like to receive
Goddess book donations? OR would you maybe
like to donate Goddess books through me at
highly discounted prices? Please let me know
your thoughts, to help me in shaping this
program!
My mission is for this healing story to get
to people who can be served by it --
including people in need. Imagine, for instance,
if a woman at a women's shelter were to
experience this healing story when she's at a
moment of crisis and despair. How pivotal could
that be?
Just to show you what's possible -- an ally
sent a Goddess book to her pen pal in a
women's prison. Not only did this woman
read and value it, but the book was then passed
around and read throughout their whole section
of the prison! They loved it! How amazingly
wonderful that this message could nurture people
even in those circumstances.
I've also personally donated copies to
various groups. But I wondered if others
would like to ally with me in doing more of
this!
So that's my report for now.
Thank you so much as always to everyone for
your support of this project! I am so
honored to be the carrier of this story. I feel
incredibly blessed.
Many blessings to all --
♥

READER FEEDBACK
"And then to see how the story came through
you, to emerge as a true divine
experience, gave me goose bumps.
This story is more than a story to
entertain. It gives insight to the core
of us as divine creatures. Thank you is an
understatement.
"This book is truly a gift to the
world.
~ Paula Pearce, Author/Illustrator of
Saving Walter
"I LOVED your Goddess book! And I cant
wait to share it with at least three friends
who will love it! It's a wonderful
story of a journey of spirit, appropriate for
all people and all ages. Plus the
artwork is lovely. Thank you for this
gift to share!"
~ Kristina Boudreaux, Organic Farmer/Parent
"I heard back from my friend who I gave
your book as a gift. She said that
she read it with her husband, each
taking turns reading it to each other, and it
made them both cry (in a good way).
"You made a difference in their lives. It
made me feel good to have given it to her. It
was an impromptu purchase, not for an
occasion, and I wanted it to mean something to
her, not just go on a shelf.
"Congratulations and thank you!"
~ Janie Frigault
"An instant classic!"
~ Russell Kellner
