 Resources to support your inner work
as you dive deeper into your beautiful soul
Books: Night Swimming,by Robin Schwarz. I highly recommendthis exciting, romantic novel about a woman peeling away the layers of herselfto find the true soul within. The maincharacter is Charlotte Clapp, who discovers that she has one year to live. She's never done anything bold or daring inher life, but she seizes the moment, quits her job and robs the bank where shehad worked for 15 years. Two milliondollars richer, she goes on the lam to learn what life and love are all about. She meets some interesting characters alongthe way, and gathers up all the lessons that life has to offer. Written withhumor, joy, and a keen eye for life. Great story, memorable characters, lots of emotion. This is Schwarz's first novel and I'll bekeeping a lookout for her next one.
Your Soul'sCompass, by Joan Borysenko and Gordon Dveirin. Borysenko uses sacredtexts, ranging from the Torah to the Tao Te Ching, to explore spirituallyguided lives. Pack of Two,by Caroline Knapp. An intimateexploration of the relationship between dogs and dog owners. If you have ever loved a dog, you must not miss thisone! Inner JourneyingThrough Art-Journaling, by Marianne Hieb. Subtitled Learningto See and Record your Life as a Work of Art. This little book treats art journaling as aspiritual, meditative practice that you can incorporate into your life. Lots of excellent examples and ideas. Marianne says that art-journaling "is ameditative stance before inner wisdom, an exercise in prayer. It creates process, yields a product, invitesa way of presence, and can become a practice."
