About the Authors
Gayle Alexander is the creator of the Spiritual Journeys for Women Program in Nashville, TN, and was owner of Gayle Alexander & Associates for almost half a century. She and her eldest daughter, Anne Alexander Vincent, have worked together for more than twenty-five years leading retreats on spirituality and meditation in Switzerland and the U.S., and developing and nurturing the spirits of individuals, families, and organizations. Anne continues her mothers legacy through her wooded retreat practice Cottage in the Woods in Nashville, TN. She is an Ordained Minister of Pastoral Counseling and a Trauma and Addictive Disorders Therapist.
I received this book from The Cadence Group for read and review. I am not a counselor or therapist of any kind.
My Thoughts:
"The Love Motif" is the theme for this book that Gayle has used in her practice of  50 years. The book shows how to connect with others and includes the tools to aid a person on their spiritual journey. Gayle has counseled people on how to recognize and nurture their own gifts. She stresses that these tools can impact a person in a positive way.
Every other page has a black and white picture to enhance the text.
The description says this book is for counselors but I think anyone may find the lessons in this book helpful for them to understand and maybe help others who may be having emotional or spiritual issues in their lives. I found this book to be interesting.
Gayle is now retired but you can learn more about her daughter Anne's and her licensed ministry center Cottage In The Woods.
