How fortunate for me that I grew up in a small Midwestern town born to first generation Italians. As a Catholic, ceremony, communing with saints, rituals and a love of the Divine was part of my life. While so many gifts came from this upbringing, there were traumas as well. A principled life and strong work ethic do not heal the wounds of our generations but there are journeys and paths to assist with this.

As a young woman, I developed bulimia. On my journey to recovery, I found myself. Writing about emotional and spiritual intelligence has been my own path to healing and empowerment. I've learned that in order to really connect with my own emotional and spiritual maturity, I had to embrace and honor my own emotional and spiritual immaturity. We are wounded healers; giving to others from a place of fullness within that we have come to fill through first owning our own emptiness. It's quite a paradox.

BLESSINGS FROM MARY is a wonderful and authentic journey of my own challenges in a quest for connecting with my spiritual source from within. One of the first tenets of the nine Principles of Sacred Feminine Spirituality is owning our own Woundedness and Surrendering our unhealthy ego again and again in our prayer and meditation practice. This practice is unique for each person and in BLESSINGS FROM MARY, a potent four step process is offered as a structure for deepening any connection with Spirit Guides and Soul Partners.

I don't think that I would have ever written BLESSINGS FROM MARY if I knew that my prayer and meditation practice would lead to publishing my journaling. I was falling in love with Mary Magdalene. Over a four year period of sitting daily with this four step process, I discovered how Mary and my Spirit Guides wanted to bless me and comfort me through the struggles and joys that I shared each day. Out of this intimate relationship came 365 daily inspirations that are given out of a desire to comfort and offer wisdom. Hopefully, you will find courage to follow your own Divine Purpose and allow yourself the discipline of meeting often in your own unique prayer and meditation practice.

It is through our deepest wounds and hurts that we are able to give to others and truly be of service. We really are simply wounded healers finding our own way and in the process providing comfort and encouragement. The nine principles of Sacred Feminine Spirituality within BLESSINGS FROM MARY will hold you in deep honor and care. The four step prayer and meditation practice will provide you the structure you need and the 365 daily meditations will inspire you to remain steadfast in your own journey of embracing your own Divine Purpose.

Blessings and love on your journey,

Sally
