A Woman's Worth - by Marianne Williamson
feel like that I owe Marianne, the author, and all my female friends this
review.
Marianne William is one of the most renowned and influential spiritual
leaders in the world. She lives in LA and lectures in downtown LA every
Monday night. I have not been there yet, but heard that "it is a treat".
I mentioned this book while ago here and cannot stop smiling at some
feedback. Because that was exactly what I thought when I was given a reading
list on which is this book a couple of years ago. I thought it was such a
cliche......of course I know my worth as a woman. Why do I need you to tell
me of that?
I guess I wasn't just ready for it at the time yet. When it comes, I went
all over the world looking for it. oh well, I just drove to our neighboring
town library......LOL
Why don't I introduce this book by her own earnest words?
"When I told girlfriends I was writing a book about women, most of them said
something like this:'For us, for women who have been to hell and back?'
How strange that this should be the club we belong to: women who have been
to hell and back. But we all understand what that means. It's a membership
badge we were with knowing looks an lines on our foreheads. Most of us have
known at least one divorce or one devastating breakup, whether we were
married or not. Other circumstances can get us into the club as well:
abortion, disease, a variety of public or private humiliations, drugs,
alcohol, the death of a loved one, incompetent parents, sick children. It's
everything we thought life would never be like. We don't feel self-pity so
much as fear and deep grief.
In writing this book, I have no purpose other than a creative spill of my
own guts. But in itself is a passionate purpose, and I have seen how like my
guts are to those of other women. The relationships, careers, children,
dreams, betrayals, hopes, wins, losses....Our feelings have blended. Our
stories converge."
alright, enough said. If you feel like this is the book for you, go read it
and enjoy it.
Be a woman, a beautiful woman from inside and out
Be a woman, strong and delicate
Be a queen, a glorious one, not just a princess
Break the walls you built yourself and spring free
Be loving, be tender, be compassionate, be courageous
Life is too short to be living in agony, hatred and misery
Live, love and laugh
Wish you all a happy new year ahead and many many years beyond
