The beginning of a movement...
I wanted to discover just what it was that allowed some women to face their life transitions with joy and grace, while others were less successful at confronting the same challenges. After holding numerous workshops and seminars, and conversing with women from around the country, I learned that those who were most content with their lives – at any age – were women who combined a Tao philosophy with a healthy dose of defiance. An understanding of Taoism allowed them to recognize that we are all one with nature and that our lives are going to follow a natural path. Fighting that fact only brings stress and unhappiness. A defiant attitude added to that Tao philosophy endows them with
the necessary skills to deal with these changes in a positive and
healthy manner.
