What People Are Saying About Conscious Women – Conscious Lives “Conscious Women – Conscious Lives is a handbook for any of us facing fear, loss and disease in our lives. These brave women have shared their stories in a way that gives the rest of us a roadmap to find our own sources of inner strength and guidance. During very frightening experiences and illness, it is hard to find comforting and healing strategies, and I recommend this book to help us effectively help ourselves and others.” ~ Marilyn Lake-Lee, Designer “The power to heal is within us and it starts with unconditional love. Conscious Women – Conscious Lives gets to the heart of healing and celebrates the joy of the pain and passion of living.” ~ Lorraine Seeley Buell, Author of SHIPMATES “A story can have a powerful influence on helping one find their path to success. Conscious Women – Conscious Lives is a collec- tion of stories by women who have shared their journeys of healing some of life's greatest ills. These stories provide us with the hope and inspiration to persevere and triumph.” ~ Lisa Fraser Author Parenting Letters “In my work as a body-centered psychotherapist, I’ve seen the value that writing can have to heal ourselves and another person. When we write about our life experiences and our triumph over pain and adversity, we demonstrate to others that we as human beings have incredible fortitude. That is the purpose of Conscious Women – Conscious Lives.” ~ Patti Allen, Body-centered psychotherapist “In my work with past lives as a therapist, I have seen that when individuals remember their true nature as soul, they can surpass any hardship and overcome any trial. These stories make a major contribution to the work any healer does by proving that we survive beyond death and that we can survive spiritually even when everything else in our lives seemingly falls apart.” ~ Charles Richards, Ph.D. Author of Karmic Relationships “Miracles can happen. Conscious Women – Conscious Lives reveals this through the revelations of women who have dared to share their journeys of healing some of life’s greatest ills. My own life has been changed through both sharing my stories and read- ing about others journeys.” ~ Heidi Skari Author, Red Willow’s Quest Conscious Women Conscious Lives Conscious Women Conscious Lives Compiled by Darlene Montgomery From the New Social Issues Series: White Knight’s Remarkable Women White Knight Publications Toronto, Canada Copyright © 2004 by Darlene Montgomery All rights reserved.
