Unpacking Guilt
A Mother’s Journey to Freedom
“This book illuminates both the inner and outer journeys of motherhood from a spiritual perspective. As memoirist and guide, Judith tells her story with insight, positivity and just the right amount of humor to provide levity to the challenges of life passages as a mother. Reading this book gives one hope for the seasoning of wisdom that can happen with empty nesting.”
—Mary Oak, author of Heart’s Oratorio: One Woman’s Journey through Love, Death and Modern Medicine
When Judith found herself at midlife carrying a burden of regret, she decided to take a trip to Scotland with three women friends. In order to unpack guilt about the past and generate hope for the future, she turned the trip into a quest and began a practice of finding love in her heart, light in her thinking, and laughter about just about everything—a practice that has made all the difference in what was to come.
“If life was not how it was supposed to be; how was it supposed to be? Had someone made a big mistake or was it random and meaningless? Either picture of the world was difficult for me to swallow and not at all satisfying. I looked for a world view that would grant me courage, peace and joy. At the very least, I needed one that would lend meaning to my life, inspire me, and make the struggles more manageable. With or without my alignment, life rolls forward with a momentum that cannot be stopped!”
