	"I was blessed to have been gifted with a Manifesting Garden just a short time ago as I stepped up my commitment to laying foundations for my own business, and moving from the world of working time for money. It couldn't have been more perfectly timed! The goal setting book, the CD by David Neagle, and the bulb that I knew would someday produce a brilliant flower - all life giving in their representation of possibilities! The day I glanced at the bulb and saw green shots coming out the top a smile broke across my face. That is exactly how it feels as my business and confidence unfold - some pieces visible and concrete, and others part of the mystery - all part of the journey. Debbi Chambers has created an embodied form of guidance for those that walk the path of conscious growth and awareness." G.A.

Invisible No More: Authors Renee, Joyce, and Jean tell their three very individual stories of a journey to age 50 and beyond with grace, humor, and humility, sparing no details in revealing their ordinary yet outrageous lives. Believing that 50 is not merely an age marked by time or another milestone to cross, they will inspire you to reevaluate the direction your own life is taking, teach you to be open to taking risks, and gently encourage you to seek the infinite possibilities that lie ahead of you. Invisible No More: The Secret Lives of Women over 50

What struck me the most about this book was the depth of honesty and vulnerability that Joyce, Renee and Jean reveal to us. Along with this was the encouragement to recreate yourself, and take, what I call, that quantum leap in life in complete trust and faith, as the dependency on "security" fades into the background. The message I got loud and clear throughout this book was, identify your purpose or dream in life, keep your focus on it throughout the inevitable fear, take action steps...and watch the universe align to support you as the creativity and opportunities come flowing in. It is a course that many of us 50+ women are taking as we realize that we are an incredible untapped resource for our planet, as well as for shifting the paradigm of aging for women. Thanks Jean, Joyce and Renee for allowing us to come into intimacy with the moments of your lives and for providing us with a roadmap for "coming out"! G.A.

All of this as a woman who is legally blind - but don't be fooled, for she will rock your world with her directness, openness, and enthusiastic support of "life not as usual" , making fun of the "sacred cows" and inspiring you to take action and "step into your greatness".

Inspired Momentum: Author, life transitions coach and workshop leader, Isabelle St-Jean works with women and men yearning to move forward into bold and expansive endeavors as they embrace and embody life-affirming values. She helps her clients to be free of the limitations of their past, to be fully engaged in their present and to be inspired by the Future they help to bring about. Her book Living Forward Giving Back: Passionate Fulfillment in Midlife and Beyond (to be published in Fall 2008), serves to intensify the collective sense of calling among boomers, to transform the obsolete paradigms of midlife, aging and re-engagement (otherwise known as retirement) as well as to illuminate the inner path of authentic leadership at this crucial time on Earth.

I met Isabelle in Bali, Indonesia at a global healing conference put on by Marcia Jaffe of The Bali Insititute for Global Renewal in 2006. She just so happened to be staying at the same hotel I was, and just so happened to completely fall in love with the Balinese and their culture, as I did. What I noticed right away about Isabelle was that she attracted others to her with her grace, her light, and her ability to engage in an intimate and profound way. A global traveler, author, expert coach and guide, and artist on the side, Isabelle has a passion for assisting others in the transitions of living a full and engaged life. G.A.

Marcus Buckingham: Now, Discover Your Strengths: This books premise is that the keystone of high achievement and happiness is exercising your strengths, not correcting your weaknesses. One of the first steps is knowing what your strengths are. This book gives you a powerful and accurate way to find out.

We so very often focus on our weaknesses in a "self-improvement" frenzy...but do we focus on our strengths and how to bring them out into our lives and the world in an even more powerful way? This book was required reading at a women's leadership workshop created by Beroz Ferrell called The Power of You! Within this book is a special number that you use to take an online "test" to become aware of your 5 top key strengths. I wasn't surprised when I found out what mine were...but what I did realize is that not only wasn't I utilizing them as much as I could, but there were applications for my strengths that I hadn't even thought of. I recommend this book to not only discover where you can put your attention, but where you can thrive! G.A.

A WFW over 50

The Dance of the Dissident Daughter: A Woman's Journey from Christian Tradition to the Sacred Feminine, by Sue Monk Kidd: Sue Monk Kidd was a "conventionally religious, church going woman, and a traditional wife and mother" until she began to question her role as a woman in her culture, her family, and her church. Kidd takes readers through the fear, anger, healing, and transformation of her awakening. This PLUS edition includes an interview with the author and a study guide.

I can't say when a book has moved me so profoundly. Many of you know that Sue Monk Kidd wrote two amazing fiction books, The Secret Life Of Bees, and The Mermaid Chair. What I did not know is that the "waking up" from a life of conventional religion and being a traditional wife and mother, was the catalyst for these books of fiction. It was through her awakening, her initiation, her grounding, and her eventual empowerment that she found a passion for fiction while finding Herself. The story that Sue Monk Kidd tells of her passage is one that many of us are called into. It is profoundly and incredibly sacred and takes courage, focus and strength - a journey that both women and men can wake up within. G.A.

A WFW over 50

"Urgent Message from Mother: Gather the Women, Save the World" by Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D.: This book is an invitation to join the next powerful wave of the women's movement, especially for women in the final third of their lives - women 50 and above! Sue Monk Kidd writes of this book, "...a heart-shaking book that offers a powerful vision of why the world must change and how such a pivotal undertaking might be accomplished. Jean Shinoda Bolen courageously brings us to the brink of an erupting and necessary wisdom and to a feminine spiritual activism whose time is here and now."

Having read Jean's books in the past, it had been a long time since I had revisited her writing. A friend reminded me of her work, and within a few hours I had several of her books by my bedside, this being one of them. She invites women (and men) into the understanding that women hold keys to creating the shift that has "peace" and "sustainability" at its core. The history of what has gone before is eloquently offered to the reader, followed by courageous examples of the way to mobilize and create change. If you need some inspiration to follow that inner voice into action, and join with other like-minded women, then this is the book for you. WildlyFreeWoman would love to hear what is touched within you after reading this book! G.A
