Ruthie Stories: Recapturing the Girl Left Behind
Allow Ruthie to help you unleash the girl you left behind a long time ago. Researchers tell us that this is the work of women—to recapture the curiosity, the engagement and the heart's knowing that we had prior to our adolescence. That's when all of our three-centered intelligence goes "underground" as many of us learn what it means to be a successful female in our culture.
At the end of each of the twenty stories in this book, you are invited to grow still and to do some of your own writing using a process called Still. The question after each story is some version of this one: How might the girl you left behind inform your life still?
S=Say/write the specific story from your childhood which relates to the Ruthie story you have just read. Use the prompt after each story.
T=Tinker around the edges of your story. What else was happening at that moment in the life of your family?
I=Import your current life: Where do you see connections with your current life?
L=Look and land on what might be possible if you allowed the energy and wisdom of the girl you left behind to inform your current life.
L=Love the energy and wisdom of the girl left behind by declaring that you will allow this spirit to inform your current life everyday.
