In this new book, Crones Don’t Whine, Bolen’s playful sense of humor and keen insight combine to offer women thirteen qualities to cultivate. Engage in these small practices and you’re bound to be a happier person who’s doing her bit to make the world a better place. “These qualities are not cultivated overnight, ” Bolen writes. Crone years are “growing” years, when women can devote their time, energy, and creativity to what really matters to them. Bolen offers us a blueprint: Crones don’t whine. They’re juicy, and they trust their own instincts. They don’t grovel. They do meditate. They choose the path with heart. Crones are fierce about what matters most to them. They speak the truth with compassion. They listen to their bodies, reinvent themselves as needed, and savor the good in their lives. Turn to these thirteen brief pieces again and again, in bad times and good, alone and with others - because “Crones Together Can Change the World, ” as Bolen points out in an inspirational, call-to-arms bonus essa
