Something Old, Something New

For the The Bride's Ritual Guide, I took the familiar "something old, something new" bridal rhyme -- dear to generations of women and the most feminine of bridal rituals -- and created a heart-full language of deep connection and self-discovery for modern brides. It's light and fun and makes for an easy way to have a soothing womanly moment!

Have you read the book yet? There are fifty "RitualWise Bridal Notes" that become a relaxing "ritual reverie" for the reader. Each of the Notes combine a little storytelling magic with bridal folklore, goddess legends, deep-breathing ease, costume history, and fairy godmother-like intuitive wisdom! And all women seem to love reading them -- the stories are not just brides!

With this unique book, every bride-to-be -- no matter her age or how many times she's been a bride! -- now has a guide where she gets to discover the depth of her own heart and experience wedding planning as an intimate and sweet rite-of-passage of deepening relationship...and fem-fem delight. (Just what wedding ceremonies are meant to be!
