My college roommate gave this bestselling book a decade ago. It’s a beautiful, wise, creative, and playful book, encouraging women to be who they are and explore all life has to offer.

Perhaps these healing spaces (which S.A.R.K. writes about on page 57) resonate with you or maybe they will give you a new perspective.

“We heal from the inside, in certain outside locations. Here are some of my favorites:

Ocean: Waves remind us that there are reliable patterns like our breath. Also, the negative ions in the air actually change brain waves.

Woods: We are surrounded by tree families and sheltered by their canopies. Keep hugging trees.

Rocks: We are reminded that growth and change can be microscopic and result in something solid.

Waterfalls: Falling water speaks of constancy and power.

Gardens: In the gardens, our hands touch the growing things and our hearts fill.

Tops of Hills: Overlooking the world, we see tiny cars or towns and gain perspective.”

I hope we can all learn to find healing spaces and meaning in all our journeys.
