  Back in the early 1980s, it was Gail Straub's empowerment work that gave me the courage, and the inner tools, to start Women to Women, a women's medical center run by women, which was revolutionary at that time.This work became the basis for my first book, Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom.Since then Gail's global activism, along with her deep spiritual inquiry, have helped thousands of others around the globe find wholeness and inspiration.
  
  Now Gail has written her fiercely honest and personal memoir, Returning to My Mother's House: Taking Back the Wisdom of the Feminine.As I read her book I felt like I was drinking sweet cool water after being thirsty for a long time.I drank it up, every page.There is a piece of our collective woman's story that Gail describes that I've never read anywhere else.She provided me with a piece of information that has made a tremendous difference with my own daughters.It's this: Daughters often unconsciously take on the "unlived" lives of their mothers.And this "unlived" life becomes a powerful motivating force throughout our lives.Gail helped me bring this to consciousness, thus freeing my daughters and breaking a long lineage of unconscious pain!
  
  Gail's book describes the imprint of the feminine we each receive from our mothers; the gradual loss of both our mother's innate wisdom as well as our own; Gail's own journey that literally took her around world to find and take back her wisdom; and, finally, the commitment she ultimately made to pass on her wisdom and protect the lineage of the sacred feminine for others.
  ...
  Bless you, Gail, for doing work that heals all of us.

  A Dream For Our World - [Cached Version]
  Published on: 9/20/2008    Last Visited: 9/20/2008  

  I had met Gail Straub three years earlier right after organizing the Olympic Torch Relay.She had short blonde hair, a radiant smile and a contagious joie de vivre.I had met my soul mate and we instantly fell in love.
  ...
  I explained to Gail that this self-funded grassroots initiative had captured the imagination of the country, the media and the White House.
  ...
  I told Gail, with my credibility from organizing the Olympic Torch Relay and the pervasive fear of our planet's imminent peril, I hoped people would now be more willing to embrace this vision.I cautioned her that if we went for this dream, we would need to devote the majority of our time to organizing, which might put our young empowerment training business at risk.
  ...
  On one trip Gail went to meet with a number of possible organizers in India, Bangladesh, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.She gave herself 10 days to get 5 organizers.She came back 10 days later with many stories, dysentery and five organizers.The vision was becoming a reality: One country at a time, the world was demonstrating a desire to receive the flame.
  
  Gail, serving as our International Director, created a 75-page "how to" manual which was distributed to each country's organizing committee.
  ...
  As the seed funding and Gail's and my financial resources were dwindling, a growing realization was occurring to me.
  ...
  I sought support and counsel from my dear wife Gail, who had been there 110% at every step of the journey.She held me and advised that I pray for guidance and sleep on it.I followed her advise and when I awakened the next day, I was clear.
  ...
  As a way to keep this prayer in our minds and hearts, Gail and I planted a peace pole in our yard with this prayer in English, Chinese, Arabic and Hopi.
