How to Use this Blessing Book:
Whether you are in a group gathering, or pass the book from person to person over a period of time, have each one select a word that is meaningful to them. Place the word at the top of selected page. Use the content space provided to describe the significance of this word and/or how the woman being honored may incorporate it into her journey. Be sure to write your name in the designated space at the bottom of the page so she knows this message is from you!
This Blessing Book can also be a personal collection of wisdom words and insights, filled in by a solitary woman as she explores her own thoughts, intuitions, dreams, myths, cycles, spirituality, mind’s reasonings and heart’s desires.
Wherever you are on your journey, may this Blessing Book serve you well.
