ABOUT THE STORY IN THE BOOK "The Goddess Who Forgot That She Was a Goddess" Once upon a time there was a goddess who forgot that she was a goddess. (It's hard to believe, but it's true!) She lived up high on a beautiful hill, but didn't see any of it, because of the sadness in her heart. Until one day she received an unexpected invitation to go into the forest.... You're invited to join the goddess on her adventure, and savor the enchanting story, inspired artwork, and playful and meaningful moments. As the goddess connects with her hidden longings, you might see deeper still, into your own precious core divinity, and find yourself experiencing that place where all hearts joyfully join together in the mystery. This story from Spirit is for people of all ages -- to soothe our sadness -- and nurture our divine blossoming. The high-quality hardcover book is beautifully illustrated with original artwork, making it a delightful treat for yourself and a keepsake gift for others. It indirectly and experientially touches on various themes, including the spiritual nurturing of nature, the empowering transformation of emotional healing, and the blessing of authentic divine connection between people. It contains no particular religious dogma, making it appropriate for people on a wide range of spiritual paths, or none. To learn more, or get your very own copy, just go to The Goddess Book webpage. Soon, you'll be able to enjoy and share this wonderful story! p.s. It's wonderful to read this story aloud to others -- and have them read it to you!   READER FEEDBACK "This Goddess story is beyond-words fabulous. I was totally hooked. "It feels intimate to the level of the soul. The illustrations match the feeling of the words so well. It has transformed me. I want to read it again and again! "And then to see how the story came through you, to emerge as a true divine experience, gave me goose bumps. "This story is more than a story to entertain. It gives insight to the core of us as divine creatures and as women. Thank you is an understatement. "This book is truly a gift to the world." ~ Paula Pearce, Author & Illustrator of Saving Walter
