Life is a Song of Love, a Woman's Spiritual Journey of the Heart and Womb.

The fall into separation consciousness eons ago coincided with the severing of the Holy Mother from the face of God. Women’s unique song was suppressed and violated. Life is a Song of Love is the heroine’s mystical journey of self-love and forgiveness to heal lifetimes of patriarchal conditioning that dissolves the mother daughter patriarchal wound for ourselves and our female line. Like walking a labyrinth we weave in and out into the heart and womb of the Mother. In the process we come to find ourselves in the myths and stories that express her-story instead of his-story. 


The patriarchal hero’s journey is wedded to the power-over paradigm of force and dominance. The heroine’s journey is inward and organic embracing the feminine paradigm of power within. The return of the sacred feminine heals the distorted masculine and feminine to usher in a time of Unity/Compassion Consciousness. We are in the midst of the Great Tuning to Love that co-creates a world infused with sacredness where all of life is cherished—singing our unique song of love.

When Sally Patton speaks of a feminist revolution of the heart, she includes the need to leave behind the victim role. This is an important addition. With it, she acknowledges the "collective anger" being "felt, grieved and cleared" to allow women to come into "fierce love—first for ourselves and then for everyone." Sally grew, as many did, to be a caretaker of men's egos. speaking of the message she "absorbed" from her mother, I could also identify. As she suggests, patriarchal values are dissolving as women share "our heroine's journeys." I also celebrate and witness, along with her, the beauty, support and power of the feminine in community.

With tremendous vulnerability, tenderness and insight, Sally invites us to join her as she is guided on a labyrinthine mystical journey of self-love, integration and spiritual awakening. Life is a Song of Love stays true to its intention of lovingly helping humanity to emerge from separation consciousness and weave its way back to wholeness. Even while taking a deep look at the roots of patriarchy and the many ways that patriarchal conditioning has affected humanity, Sally's tone is neither harsh nor full of blame. An important theme of the book is "forgiving the unforgivable and loving the unlovable" and Sally invites each of us to discover our own path to forgiveness and unconditional love.

Life is a Song of Love powerfully and skillfully guides the reader from feelings of separation, lack and victimhood to an understanding and discovery of the innate love and abundance that resides in our core. From Sally's own life experience as a woman, daughter and mother, and from her extensive spiritual knowledge, She shares intimately about the process of facing her own wounding and trauma. The transformative healing journey that unfolds, with the grace of the Holy Mother, delivers her to greater empowerment, self-love, forgiveness and compassion for self and all others. Sally is a visionary and presents a beautiful overview of a new Earth with the shift from a patriarchal "power-over" paradigm, to a feminine based "power within" paradigm. This book is a rich treasure, a masterful and inspiring work that will benefit and serve women in their own healing and awakening journey. It lights the pathway and takes us home to the love that we truly are and to the sacred opportunity of creating a more peaceful and loving world.

Life is a Song of Love is a deeply inspiring book that has the power to activate the remembrance of the Divine Self. The wisdom the author expresses cuts through the ego and touches the heart of the Soul. I appreciate that this book does not sugar coat or avoid addressing the wounds and trauma that we carry. Instead, it provides clear guidance for healing, transformation, and embodiment of our Highest Expression.

Don’t Fix Me I’m Not Broken, Changing Our Minds about Ourselves and Our Children

Most of us want to be able to parent from a place of peace, no matter what is happening around us, no matter what struggles our children are having.Don’t Fix Me I’m Not Broken, Changing Our Minds about Ourselves and Our Children takes us on a spiritual parenting journey to learn what it means to parent from love instead of fear.

The daily chores and activities of parenting any child can pull us out of peace. However, it is often our child who is struggling or defiant who challenges us the most. Seeing our child as different, more special, more difficult, more challenging is reinforced by a world focused on seeing some people as more damaged or less normal than others, and then trying to fix them. I came to realize it is not about controlling or fixing our children; its about changing our minds about our children. And when we do this, we find a universal truth for healing all relationships. The catalyst for my journey may have been my son, but what I discovered was a path of healing for all aspects of my life.

Sally Patton brings an enlightened perspective on how to parent from a balanced place of love, and beautifully articulates the idea of changing one’s Mind about their children rather than trying to fix them. The importance of moving past the labeling of our children and experiencing the essence of the Spirit is not ignored in this book. Don’t Fix Me I’m Not Broken is a God-send to anyone who wishess to join with their children rather than separate, love rather than fear, and accept their Divinity rather than deny their perfection.
Gary RenardSpiritual Psyhchologist
Don’t Fix Me, I’m Not Broken is an extraordinarily helpful book. It is unique in its approach and aim. It asks us to open ourselves to the deeper meaning behind our children’s seeming condition. It invites us to be willing to renounce our human story about this condition and to ask the Divine to reveal the lessons of love that await our welcome. ‘I see you, not the behavior, not the condition or the label; I see the truth of you.’
Nouk Sanchez and Tomas Viera
An insightful book that helps parents to come from love rather than fear when facing a child’s disability, disorder or disease. Sally Patton proposes a wonderful perspective; our unhappiness does not solve our children’s problems, it is our clarity and comfort that has the most beneficial impact.
