Secrets for Women

...but yet I keep picking it up over the years

"True beauty is a radiance outward from within. It comes from kind, happy thoughts, and from virtuous qualities. Beauty is not the outer mask a person wears to please the world. It is erroneous to make a cult of youth. Every age has its intrinsic beauty." -J. Donald Walters J. Donald Walters is well known as an author, philosopher, playwright, composer, poet and lecturer. He seems to have the gift of writing beautiful and meaningful thought that inspire the mind and touch the heart. He takes complex subjects and turns them into beautiful expressions of the heart. I love this tiny book for women. It contains meditations for each day of the month. First you say the saying out loud, then softly, then in a whisper, and then only in your mind. Each repetition allows the words to be more deeply absorbed into your subconscious. If you become what you think, they thinking some of these beautiful thoughts will make you a more beautiful person inside. The design of this "secret" book is especially pretty. I love all the gorgeous pictures of flowers, lakes, streams, waterfalls and sunsets. The writing is on the left with the picture on the right. Each thought is really an experience all on its own. How true is it to read: "Transcend your personal troubles by offering solace to other troubled hearts." When you start caring about other people, they give you so much more in return than you could ever hope for. It is as if caring unlocks your own creativity and problem solving abilities. The author focuses on concepts relevant to women in particular and discusses: How women should focus on their inner beauty and be a mother to all. Why we should allow people to grow at their own pace. How to expand the capacity for loving. Why our moods color our lives. How emotional reaction clouds reality. Why we can heal sickness and disharmony with kindness. Peaceful reflections to encourage the free flow of joy in your life. ~The Rebecca Review
