Wisdom of the Grandmothers is On Sale Now
If you are a reader of the newsletter, or a friend of Spirit Dancer Crystals, you will know that this book has been a long time coming. I am beyond excited to announce that Wisdom of the Grandmothers: Tips for Living from the Realms of Love, is on Amazon right now. I am so grateful to all of the people who have made this book possible — you know who you are.
