Description: As our first daughter approached puberty, I suggested she invite a circle of women from our dance class to share their wisdom with her. The women came, and began to share their secrets. One by one, these magnificent women told stories of their lives. When the last story was told, our hearts were open and our circle was complete. Then, surprisingly, the woman who first shared wanted to share again. These real Hot Mamas, one by one, shared again, each at a deeper level. By the third time around, we were bonded for life. It was a spontaneous, sacred and blessed event. Some of these women had never shared their stories aloud. Stories of first love never forgotten. And of first love remembered, in vivid detail. Of rose petals, strewn on lovely beds, with candles to brighten the dark. Stories of hearts broken open and pain we could never have imagined. Both the telling and receiving of each story wove a magical tapestry of sisterhood. Here, I share powerful stories of women who helped me learn to grow. They are great and everyday women, willing to evolve, sharing their stories with joys and warts. They are REAL women willing to learn from life; to help you better understand. I want all women to know how lovely and special we are. To spend less time worrying about details that won t matter. And more time on what matters to you. I want you to evolve yourselves ... Younger women, into the beautiful blossom that only you can be. Older women, to shed any fears, fully living with what may be left undone. May this book inspire you to reach out and learn from life, enjoying it all, so you can inspire the women around you. If it does, please pass it forward to your daughters, granddaughters, and to their daughters, so women can be all that we are. Follow the powerful path of your mamas so you can live your most abundant life.
