Watercolor Bedroom: Creating a Soulful Midlife

Rating:
Summary: Warm and Wise
Review: In a wise and heart-centered way Daphne Stevens gently charts a new map for midlife women in her book "Watercolor Bedroom."
Each of her fifty-two essays is followed by questions for insight and reflection.
Daphne's heart-warming personal stories show how we tend the "soul of the world" when "we honor our bodies and feed our souls and spark our imaginations and listen to our dreams."
She says it is a blessing that midlife women find it harder to hide behind roles, rules and relationships and challenges us to "fully occupy the space where we stand."
Some of her gentle guideposts include resisting the illusion that we can earn our space on the planet by sacrificing ourselves and to tell the truth when truth serves the emergence of our higher selves. Also how the greatest gift we can give or be given is the willingness to witness pain without fixing and advising.
Her book has a womb-like quality that makes it safe for us to explore and shift our physical and emotional frequency and to acknowledging our power...in the service of discovering who we are underneath our assigned roles.
