Girls Without a Nest

Peering into one's family legacy requires courage and openness to the truth. Our relationships with others -including our children- are the consequence of our relationship with ourselves. This relationship is the key that opens the locked chests of the past, where we can see the family wounds and heal them. We can then understand what chests our parents inherited and see what we are passing on to our children. Forgiveness, reconciliation, gratitude. "I am grateful that I can be grateful," Danica Vidmar writes, grateful also for the pain, even for all that was hard.

Now she is well equipped for a gentler, more joyful life, being able to nurture relationships with her grandchildren and connections with her tribe to which she finally belongs. "An important part of my new ability is my personal language. I strive to express my feelings and needs without judging or burdening my words with undertones. I continue learning to be sincere, clear and respectful of myself and others." Most beneficial is her feeling of liberation from guilt and inadequacy. From the feeling of personal liberation, genuine relationships and closeness grow, and these very feelings nurture the soul, the heart, the mind and heal the body.

Danica Vidmar's Girls Without a Nest is an encouraging and inspiring read for all who stumble on the bumpy road of life. She offers us a signpost and invites us to take a bold step with the hope in our hearts that change is possible. IT IS POSSIBLE!
