Pain can burn you up and destroy you, or burn you up and redeem you. It can deliver you to an entrenched despair or deliver you to your higher self. At midlife, we decide, consciously or unconsciously, the path of the victim or the path of the Phoenix when it is rising up at last.

pickDon't judge a (90's) book by its cover. This powerful manifesto is bolstering me this morning in the wake of shocking and devastating news. And it is particularly apropos when even the most qualified and highly endorsed candidate in U.S. history (a woman) was defeated by a racist misogynist. Her worth is defined by so much more than her accomplishments and defeats. #bookandbrew #photoadaynov16
pickThe release of this book in 1994 was synchronized with the state of my soul that same year. I was 23 years old. Marriage was the buzzword of the day and I was struggling with my disdain for an oppressive institution. This book told me I wasn't crazy, empowering me to be me. A must read for all.
