Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In their trade, pearl merchants scrutinize color, size, shape, luster, and surface perfection. With the pearl as a metaphor, the reader assesses her own life’s journey based on the same criteria. Path of the Pearl seeks to connect women with their deeper selves and illustrates that even the most painful challenges can be transformed into things of beauty. "Powerful tools and techniques for transforming life’s challenges into creations of beauty." — Jack Canfield, cocreator of Chicken Soup for the Soul

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this!, October 28, 2002
By Peter J. Sander (Granite Bay, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is such a great source of strength and comfort. The idea that we, as women, can draw courage and inspiration from the pearl. To think that such a beautiful gem -- a pearl -- comes out of injury and stress to the oyster reminds us all that we have inside of us what it takes to create pearls of our own. To absorb the struggles that life throws us and emerge stronger, and more lustrous than before. I'm on the way to becoming a strong and shiny pearl!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beauty from adversity..., October 7, 2002
By Barbara J. Curtis (South Lake Tahoe, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Path of the Pearl came as such a relief to me after the glut of self-help books which focus exclusively on what each of us has done wrong in our lives to deserve our latest obstacle. Instead, Kelly begins with the premise that, as the oyster can threaten its own life by inadvertently trapping detritus through the necessary acts of breathing and eating, so do humans suffer at times during the natural process of living. Using the metaphor of the oyster which, as a way of avoiding further suffering or death, surrounds the intrusion with layers of healing pearl nacre, Kelly describes ways for us to transform life's injuries into beautiful pearls to be cherished or discarded as we see fit. A fitting metaphor for today's troubled times, and a much needed balm for our already guilt-ridden souls. Thank you for the Path of the Pearl!

5.0 out of 5 stars Path Of The Pearl, October 21, 2002
By Shash (Marina Del Rey,, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I feel so fortunate that a friend of mine gave me the ?PATH OF THE PEARL? written by Mary Olsen Kelly at this time in my life. Over the years, many difficult and painful things happen that cannot be explained, but such events always channel me into a new path in life. After reading ?PATH OF THE PEARL? I feel and sense a new perspective on how to handle many of life?s challenges. Instead of looking at these challenges as a curse, I now see how I , just as as an oyster can take them and make them into something precious, gorgeous, a gem. As I now look back, most of the difficult times in my life have made me who I am today, strong and beautiful. Thanks for that perspective.
