Praise
“Thank you Quanita for this little book with big treasure for young girls. How precious to find the distilled ‘elixirs’ brought back from women who made the heroic, initiatory journey into womanhood and eldership. It is lived wisdom. So important for not just girls poised at the dangerous opportunity of adolescence, but also for the little girl in all of us as grown women. Who needs to be reminded from time to time! That regardless of where we come from and what we had or did not have, we share the same archetypal ‘everygirl to everywoman’ story. It is our common bond. One that we must draw upon to come together and as we rise in these powerful times, not just in the world, but for it.” —Nilima Bhat
“In this unprecedented time, when women around the world are successfully confronting male dominance and sexual abuse, this profound collection of personal truths and storytelling is so needed. It is a marvelous tribute to the heart and soul of the 13 year old female experience, and provides priceless insights and inspiration for readers young and old.” —Jojopahmaria Nsoroma
Excerpt
Katie Spacek
Oakland, CAlifornia
When I was 13, I wish someone would have told me that no matter what happens, you ALWAYS have a safe place in feeling yourself breathe, and a superpower in watching your own thoughts. Every breath is different, but you don’t realize it unless you ride each wave beginning to end with all your focus. And thoughts are never “good” or “bad” because you cannot control them. You can watch them, though, and this gives you power and courage to do the best you can do
