Women, Writing, and Soul-Making: Creativity and the Sacred Feminine
moves the reader to quiet depths, affirming what it is to embody
and then write down one's truth. At once informative and
inspirational, the book reveals its wisdom in layers, inviting the
reader to return to it again and again. Millin delivers the
profound message that women have access to a feminine approach to
writing, one that differs from what they have been taught. When
employed, this approach frees them from the fears and "shoulds"
that have restrained their creativity. Although written primarily
about the feminine and a woman's journey, men and women alike will
find the book a guide to writing as a journey of the soul.
In 1989, Peggy Tabor Millin joined a group of non-Catholics as
chronicler on a pilgrimage to Medjugorje, Bosnia, where Mary,
mother of Jesus, had been appearing to a group of young people
since 1981. Although she did not expect to be affected by her
journey, what occurred changed her life, leading her along a path
she calls "Mary's way." Twenty years later, she understood that
Mary had been appearing in order to prepare us for what is
happening now. Millin then knew she was to republish the book with
a new subtitle to reflect the intent of the messages: Cultivating a
Peaceful Heart in Trying Times. This is a book about spiritual
connections, about the use of Mary's way in opening a deep
communion with divine love, and about the possibility of
transformation in our daily lives. Mary's message is
universal-individuals from all religious and spiritual paths will
find guidance and inspiration. Millin writes, "The spiritual
journey has no goal, nothing tangible to grasp, not even a
permanent state of being. Enlightenment comes in flashes of
in-sight that last as long as they last. Such flashes arise from
shifting our focus from the material world to the inner life of the
soul. Our outer life then becomes a reflection of our inner
reality: increasingly the heart rests in peace and selfless service
replaces striving. This shift in focus rearranges our priorities;
we give up what no longer serves this higher purpose and are
occasionally surprised by glimpses of the resplendent 'pearl of
great price.'" Peggy Tabor Millin is author of the award-winning
book, Women, Writing, and Soul-Making: Creativity and the Sacred
Feminine. She offers classes and retreat for women in the writing
process. Her mission is to provide a safe space for women to
develop and claim their voice so they can stand in their power and
inspire positive change in their world. Learn more about her work
