Life Changing Moments

Jubilee Time speaks to me where I am right now, and welcomes me to continue into the rest of my life with joy, creativity and peaceful wisdom. Engaging this second half of my life is the adventure I have been waiting for, and this book makes those connections with myself and community tangible. Best investment for my future ever made.

Perfect gift for women celebrating jubilee!

"....For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy unto you." The Book of Leviticus. And so begins this inspiring book celebrating women entering jubilee. Jubilee is certainly a more uplifting word than cronehood! Each chapter of this book ends with an exercise relating to the theme of the chapter. Great though-provoking exercises for the individual; also very appropriate to use with support groups; counseling; classes, etc. I was given this book for my jubilee and is now the gift I pass on to all my friends to celebrate their jubilee.
