    About this ebook

    The sacred feminine is rising throughout the world like the Phoenix. Zesty Womanhood at 40 and Beyond, a spirited insightful book, invokes women to reclaim this Divine essence that is being reborn, first within themselves, and then to shine this beacon of the soul out into the Universe. It reveals how the 40something empowered woman can establish personal boundaries; experience love as the universal truth; see beauty through older eyes; transform through relationships; reclaim one's feminine prowess; let go of old behaviors and thoughts, live a life without expectations, go from order to chaos...then back again, come full circle. And it ends with a bit of humor, since laughter is so good for the soul. The book also asks the reader to explore her own personal journey through exercises...to put the messages of each chapter into action.

      To all the women who have reached that phenomenal age of 40. May you enter the next phase of your life with such zeal and passion that you infuse the same in everyone you touch in mind, body, and spirit.

      I am the woman who holds up the sky.

      The rainbow runs through my eyes.

      The sun makes a path to my womb.

      My thoughts are in the shape of clouds.

      But my words are yet to come.

      Acknowledgements

      This book was such an incredible experience to create over the years that it took me to complete it, and there are so many people that I wish to acknowledge for their support as I have traveled the journey of my 40s.

      Actually, to all those who deserve great accolades, not so much for the support they provided me while I wrote my book, but for all the wonderful support they have provided me throughout the different phases of my life, which led me to write this book. My immediate family, my mom and my brother, deserve so much more than what I’ve been able to give them. I will never, ever be able to thank them enough for what they’ve done for me. And my sons...well, they are the light of my life. If it weren’t for them, my life would be so much less fulfilling. And to all my very dear friends who have listened to all my ramblings and have even sometimes joined me on the roller coaster ride I’ve been on for way too many years. I think I may actually be finally ready to get off and touch ground again. Oh, please don’t think of me as some crazy wild woman! I’m just a woman who has tried to embrace life to the nth degree and, in doing so, I have experienced the ride of my life...taking on the good, the bad, and the ugly. And guess what, it’s really not over! I, as all women over 40, have a whole new life ahead of me.

      And of course I certainly can’t forget those who made my book come alive through their design talents: Joe Jaques, the graphic designer who created my cover and Daniella Silkwood, the graphic designer who formatted the book.

      Introduction

      ---

      "I dedicate this book to all women who have entered their fifth decade of life and who revel in the treasures that pour forth. For this is the beginning of the best years of a woman’s life. It is the time to reclaim the Divine female within."

      ---

      Turning 40 or thereabouts is a pivotal point in a woman’s life. What awaits us as we enter the fifth decade of our lives are new challenges and adventures to experience as we seek to reclaim our Divine right as a woman. Everything that we have done thus far in our lives has only prepared us for what’s to come.

      Spring is the season of renewal and I entered my 40s in April 1999. Perhaps there’s some Divine intent for me being born in spring. I have often felt that every new experience is like a rebirth. My, my, that means I’ve been pregnant many, many times, giving birth to new and different meanings to my life each time, all sacred and precious because of the wisdom that I have gained.

      To some people, reaching 40 is like death. It’s sad that these people have lived 40 years of their lives only to feel that now their lives are over, that it’s downhill from here on out. I want to shake them and scream at them for having their eyes shut, their minds tuned out and their hearts closed to the riches that are now theirs.

      Instead we should look back over the first 40 years of our lives and see how every circumstance, every venture, every experience were scenes in the first act of our life play and how all these events set the stage for the second act.

      Now the curtain has risen again, and the principal character stands alone, center stage, with a single spot gleaming upon her, reminding us that it is she to whom this play is dedicated. She is us and this is her/our life. I will be telling my story, but as I do, I feel I will be telling the story of many women who have reached that very special age of 40.

      Join me as the events of the play unfold. There will be scenes on finding personal boundaries, experiencing love, seeing beauty through older eyes, transforming through relationships, reclaiming one’s feminine power, letting go of old behaviors and thoughts, living a life without expectations, getting out of chaos and coming full circle. And because life is meant to be full of joy and mirth, the book closes with something to leave you chuckling.

      Please note that as you read each chapter, you may encounter some contradictions. This is because it took me seven years to complete the book and as I wrote each chapter, I reached a new level of growth and new awareness. I may have believed one thing one way at one time while writing one chapter, then after gaining more awareness about a situation, my perception may have changed. This is all part of the process we go through as we journey down that road of evolution.

      I dedicate this book to all women who have entered their fifth decade of life and who revel in the treasures that pour forth. For this is the beginning of the best years of a woman’s life. It is the time to reclaim the Divine female within. My story is YOUR story!

      One note before you begin the second act...At the end of each chapter, I have included an exercise to help you apply the meaning of the chapter to yourself. I suggest that you read the exercise and then journal your answer through stream of consciousness writing. You might be surprised at how cathartic this can be for you as you allow your innermost thoughts and insights
