The
Goddess Who Forgot That She Was
a Goddess, 2016. (Author
& Illustrator. Full color with
original artwork throughout. 64
pages.)
About the
project: Subtitle, "A story
from Spirit for people of all ages
to soothe our sadness and nurture
our divine blossoming." This
enchanting and unexpected story is
nurturing and empowering for people
of all ages. It sweetly seduces us
to peek below our cloaked sadness to
discover our core divinity (yes,
even you!), and invites us to that
place where all hearts join together
in the mystery.
My role:
Author, artist, graphic artist, and
marketer.
"The
Goddess story is beyond-words
fabulous. I was totally
hooked. It feels intimate to the
level of the soul. I want to read it
again and again.
"And then
to see how the story came
through you, to emerge as a
true divine experience, gave me
goose bumps.
"This
story is more than a story to
entertain. It gives insight
to the core of us as divine
creatures. Thank you is an
understatement.
"This book
is truly a gift to the world."
Paula Pearce, Author &
Illustrator, Saving Walter

this article, I explore a topic I've been
thinking about for a while: how the
psychology of abuse is expressed not just
in our culture's families but also in our
businesses, politics -- and how we treat

that that the abuse model can be a
powerful tool to help us steer our culture

technology's potential to help them be
more effective in their missions."

"Great Article! Hi Patricia,
I really enjoyed the North Bay Biz

dating back years (!) and they were
"EcoGirl" columns -- I saw your name
