Remember Who You Are: Seven Stages on a Woman’s Journey of Spirit
by Linda Carroll —
Each of us is born with a connection to a divine essence. When we look at women’s lives across cultures and life-stages, we can see that spiritual essence. Yet, in our everyday lives, we often lose connection.
Rediscovering our shared and particular essence is our true life’s work. This is a book to help us do just that.
Carroll shares her own discoveries and wisdom gleaned from other women’s lives and art, especially poetry, to guide us on a seven-stage journey of recollection, reconnection and recovery. The stages: forgetting, remembering, exploring, practicing, shadows on the path, reclaiming, all lead to accepting, a condition woven throughout the stages.
It is the knowledge that we never completely “arrive.” We are always on the path — we are always forgetting, exploring, practicing, struggling, becoming and remembering who we are.
