If
it isn't fun . . . then you're not doing it right!
Well, Dear Readers, I have
survived the birth of the book. Exhilaration and exhaustion in equal
parts.
But it's been fun and we've done it up in style!
So this newsletter will be
brief, but I wanted to let you know that ~ I've been thinking of you and
send wishes that your
days be filled with love in any and all of its many manifestations.
We're happy to report . . .
Who says the Goddess is
Dead?
A rumor has been going around that, at a recent conference in the
publishing industry, one of the speakers who is from a major publishing
house blithely announced to the audience that "The Goddess is Dead, the
goddess craze is over, and we won't be publishing any more goddess books
because there's no market for them."
Phssst! is all I can say. Let the fireworks begin....
We're proving them wrong! The
book's arrival has had an enthusiastic response to our partners'
promotion (special pricing, bonus gifts) and the Goddess Goodies
Giveaway. They are still going on through the month of February.
Thanks for all your support.

Women at Work: Breathing Love into the World
Often we think of women as heroines, not heroes. Only the Warrior
Goddesses were known for braving the external elements, questing for
equity, and protecting their charges.
Enjoy this moving video about our contemporary sisters and their:
Labor of Love
to Rescue the Horses
The Goddess, The Priest and the Emperor: The Hidden History of
Valentine's Day
The feast days
celebrated both love and the founding of Rome. A pagan priest led
the festivities which included his "whipping" all the women to
ensure their fertility.
Another part of the
celebration involved a "lottery" in which the names of the unmarried
females names were drawn from a hat (or other suitable container) by
the available young males and they were "paired" for a period of
time, some say a year. This pairing, of course, being done in honor
of Juno, the goddess of love and marriage. (Juno is the Roman
equivalent of the
Greek goddess Hera)
Which brings us to the story of . . .
In closing,
Remember to . . .
Love courageously,
Laugh outrageously (and often), and
Let some fireworks into your life.
Till next time,
