More About the Author
I was born in Lafayette, IN and moved to Minneapolis, MN in 1964. I taught elementary school for a few years and then pursued a graduate degree at the University of MN. I graduated with a Ph.D. in 1979. I published my first book, EACH DAY A NEW BEGINNING: DAILY MEDITATIONS FOR WOMEN with Hazelden Publishing in 1982. It has been followed by the publication of 21 other books, the most recent of which is CULTIVATING HOPE. In early summer of this year (2010), Conari will be publishing the 23rd book: LET GO NOW: EMBRACING DETACHMENT. See www.womens-spirituality.com for a complete listing and description and for a link to my blog. My focus as a writer is on the development of spiritual growth and strengthening one's twelve step recovery, and my personal experience is what I rely on, coupled with the wisdom I glean from the many people I walk among in the rooms of AA and Al-Anon. When I am not in front of the computer writing, I am likely giving a lecture or doing a workshop some where. I have spoken to tens of thousands world-wide over my thirty-five year tenure in recovery rooms. From each experience my gratitude grows. And from each experience, my commitment grows to continue doing what brings my life such joy.

This book speaks especially to the soul of woman,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Woman's Spirit: More Meditations for Women the Author of Each Day a New Beginning (Hazelden Meditations) (Paperback)
So many of us women were expected to be super-moms and we tried only to feel we had failed at something.
This book spoke to my sorry soul and many pages helped me to come to peace with myself. The anonymous author
uses the 12 Step Program made famous by AA but applied particularly to women and the problems they face in
today's world. I have worn out my copy and gotten another one and also purchased at least 8 more as gifts
for some of my favorite women who are struggling with many things in their lives such as a chronic health
condition. Everyone one of these recipients has thanked me more than once for the gift of "A Woman's Spirit" and
one told me that even the cover was a work of art.

a book as beautiful as its cover,
By moonlady (Ottawa ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Woman's Spirit: More Meditations for Women the Author of Each Day a New Beginning (Hazelden Meditations) (Paperback)
I admit that I chose this book of meditations in the Hazelden series based on the cover art. I wasn't let down. The quotes and meditations always speak to me. It's gentle and can be used by those not following 12 step based prgrams (it's not papered with excessive slogans). Wonderfully down to earth for any woman's spirit.
