Attributes of a Goddess

I've never been one for inspirational pop psychology on how to fix your life or get in touch with your inner whatever-it-might-be, but I recommend Denise Torgerson's Attributes of a Goddess with pleasure. It is fun to read and well crafted. The sense of a personality behind her descriptions of how to get in tune with your inner goddess is a playful and unpretentious one, making it easy to take what works for you and stand clear from those aspects of Torgerson's philosophy that do not fit with your own. In a world full of desperate competition for diminishing resources, Attributes of a Goddess breaths with the graceful wisdom of being satisfied with less than everything, so long as the journey taken is a true one. Organized into fifty-two short passages, for consumption at a rate of one a week, the book can easily be sorted or shuffled to suit a reader's fancy as required. I take a few pages with me on trips to remind me to open my eyes and my heart and laugh at myself with affectionate humor from time to time, because goddesses need a good sense of humor as well as the strength to walk among "the small ones" without losing their own, vital spark. Attributes of a Goddess is an e-book. It may be purchased online at http://www.attributesofagoddess.com/.
