Praise for The Power of Naming
It is said in the Native American world that wisdom sits in places. Just a few pages into this glorious and empowering book, I could see the truth in that for myself. Wisdom sits in this place, inside these pages. Rarely have I felt so supported in reading a book. The author guides and challenges us with a masterful hand, a loving heart, and a knowing beyond knowing that this journey toward our own naming is both life affirming and treacherous. This is the book and the guide Ive been waiting for.
Patti Digh, author of Life Is a Verb

CONTENTS
This book is not intended for the faint of heart. It is for women and men who are ready to remember who they are, for those who are done with trying to be everything to everyone, done with living from past events, and done with not being exactly who they are. Women are constantly told that their value lies in their beauty or how much they can give to another. Men are told to downplay their spirituality and that emotions are a no-no. Though you know this isnt true, its easy to get lost in the story of nature. You were never meant to conform or to fit your vast wild nature into a slip of an existence.
Working through these chapters, you will encounter the ways in which you were asked to hide from your souls identity. Then, you will fiercely reclaim it. You will burn to the ground those imposed versions of you that kept you from your certain knowing. You will take a stand for your authority. You will uncover your name and live as the divine blessing that you have always been.
The work that is required is demanding and it is confronting, but it is also freeing. This is the path of the spiritually brave. This is not the path of a warrior, where one has to fight to move forward. This is the walk home to yourself.
Do your best. You will know if youve put your heart and soul into it, or if youve taken shortcuts. You will have to let go of how you learn to receive this work. But dont worry: You are up for the challenge. You will find you have more creative imagination than you have known. This is the gift that freedom brings. This work will challenge your fear and champion your soul.
