Each of us is on our own journey... Inspired by the art of the sword and combining it with motivating quotations that ring of truth throughout the ages, One Woman's Journey is just that. As we make our journey through life we gain experience from the University of Life.

Words of wisdom that you have heard from others or that come from things you have experienced are invaluable. In one Woman's Journey, Dawn gives us a pictorial story with fun, laughter, sensuality, seriousness, power and playfulness by using the sword as a metaphor. the sword throughout history has demonstrated power, protectiveness, and usually was a sign of leadership and strength.

It also portrays a sense of fearlessness even in the most feminine of poses. Facing each situation with a sense of fearlessness and coming from a sense of personal power is what is being illustrated. This is a story of one woman finding her sense of grace and power through the metaphor of the sword. It also contains powerful quotes both from the author and people that have left a lasting impact on her life. This book also portrays a woman who has reached a time where the beauty of life and femininity can come through at an age where wisdom and beauty begin to merge. As in the metaphor of the five elements in chinese medicine and the Tao there is a time and a season for everything and the power is in knowing and honoring where we are in life.

As we come into our 40's and 50's we realize that we no longer need to buy into society's version of flawless beauty. that beauty is within, and in the eyes of the beholder. Women can celebrate and honor each cycle of their life, approaching it with pride, freedom and a sense of self. They can bloom into boldness and celebrate the wisdom that comes from life's experiences.

Inspired by another book called FEARLESS Women, Dawn shares with us the energies of life, her inspirations and the beauty and grace that the sword has portrayed over the centuries. The sword shows us we must bravely and courageously face each phase of our life. And now as women we nurture and are aware of our own personal power. Each day we discover our own truth.

May every woman that reads this be aware of their own personal beauty and may the men that read this honor the sacred feminine in each and every woman. If one quote resonates with you, then the message has been received.
