The Blackberry Tea Club: Women in Their Glory Years Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered this book on the recommendation of a friend. I could not put it down and raced through it in two days! I then began to read it again. This time I made myself read it slowly and reflectively and savored the poetry and wisdom of each story.
I now keep the book within reach on my desk. When I feel overwhelmed with work and the mundane details of life, I look at the cover and smile. The joyous abandon of the women on the cover reminds me to take a break and play with friends. When I feel unappreciated and tense, I randomly read a highlighted section. I always take away a bit of lyric wisdom that never fails to brighten my spirits.
Thank you, Barbara, for sharing your hard-earned wisdom and the secrets of the Blackberry Tea Club!
Namaste'

Mid-life crisis is not a crisis-it is a passage into joy. This was the essential truth discovered by the four women of a certain age, founding members of the Blackberry Tea Club, which began as late-night conversations while sipping blackberry tea with a little kick added. Those conversations about children, men, jobs, weight, clothes, food, travel, gossip, politics, medicine, healing, spirituality, adventure, and books grew slowly, beautifully into the Blackberry Tea Club and the discovery of the Glory Years.The Blackberry Tea Club weaves together essays, stories, and poetry, celebrating mid-life in all its silliness, sorrow, and glory. Bottom line: middle age is much more than menopause. These are the Glory Years for women, years that bring about the expansion and reorganizing of the mind, heart, and spirit, and the birthing of a larger self of immense compassion, intellect, will, spirit, love, and capability.Divided into five parts, each one explores different themes:* Seeing mid-life crisis as an adamant search for joy* Discovering opportunities for women to appreciate their bodies* Exploring multiple facets of love* Letting go of the bad stuff to relish "what light there is"The Blackberry Tea Club offers stories of adventure, food, spirit, and the community of women in their Glory Years.
