Women who run with the wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes

I think this is one of the most influential books I've ever read and I'd
reccommended it to all women. It's like my bible for when things go
belly up in my day2day. Absolutely wonderful storytelling.

Don't borrow it, buy it...this is one of those books you need to own.

Quote:

One of the least discussed issues of individuation is that
as one shines light into the dark of the psyche as strongly
as one can, the shadows, where the light is not, grow even
darker. So when we illuminate some part of the psyche,
there is a resultant deeper dark to contend with. This dark
cannot be let alone. The key, the questions, cannot be
hidden or forgotten. They must be asked. They must be
answered.

The deepest work is usually the darkest. A brave woman, a
wisening woman, will develop the poorest psychic land, for if
she builds only on the best land of her psyche, she will have
for a view the least of what she is.

My ADD coach recommended that book to me a year ago, said she has given it to all her daughters. I'll have to make another note to get it.

Thank you for the recommendation & reminder, Lulu!

One I love is by SARK, Succulent Wild Woman. I own this book & have given it to almost every female I've ever had a conversation 30+ minutes with, lol! Plus, it's written in rainbow colors, which just makes me happy.
