    ISBN: 0963881337


A personal, practical & tender book about honoring the heart -- a deep-seeing that goes beyond courtesy, kindness & empathy to the living compassion. Especially fitting for health practitioners, teachers, parents & volunteers.

Caring in Remembered Ways is the second book in a trilogy of one woman's life unfolding especially meaningful for all of us who want to nourish each other in ways we can feel, no matter the circumstances of our lives.

Maggie writes: “For over 20 years, I was published by others...Then, in 1993, I created Heartsong Books to express a burgeoning kinship vision. This all-embracing vision weaves throughout all Heartsong Books. It permeates every aspect and level of my work from book creation to book production to book distribution. I wanted the way I eased my books into the world to reflect the kinship themes expressed on their pages. I hoped to add my voice to those who were doing business differently, who were as eager to give back as they were to take in.”

There are books that you read & there are books you live by. Caring in Remembered Ways is just such a book, the kind you can read from cover to cover or leave on your nightstand for those final, meditative thoughts before sleep. The throne room is also a good place for pondering in a moment of privacy & relaxation.

Maggie's philosophy is to see the beauty & interconnectedness of all life. Her goal is to strive, to think, to speak & to act from what we see. She has been listening to her own heart & the concerns of others for years. She has absorbed this knowledge & passes it on to us in a way that affirms the best a human can be. She reminds us: “...any life we care for well can remind us of all we are capable of giving.”

A simply beautiful inspirational book of verses, thoughts, stories & philosophies.
