The Tao of Turning Fifty
On the path of a woman's life, it's easier to see where you've been than where you are going. It is not a straight path or a highway from point A to point B. It is more of a spiral or labyrinth, an unfolding. On the journey through mid-life, it is not always clear what lies ahead. There are thick forests and clear spaces and twisty windy paths through deep woods.
This book points to some of the most burning questions, and helps you find your own answers through journal prompts, as well as exercises to calm and center. The key thing is to listen deeply to what your body and heart are telling you. Most of the answers appear to get unlocked through some form of right-brain self-expressive activity. Journaling leads us back to a simple place where we learn to be with what is, with who we are in the moment. Maybe all we ever need to know is this: I am enough.
I hope you find that the way through your mid-life journey is made lighter, less scary and less lonely, by reading this book. You are not alone!
