About this audiobook
Originally self-published to enormous acclaim and demand, Sacred Pampering Principles is a beautifully written guide with hundreds of easy and innovative ways for on-the-go women to pamper their bodies and nurture their spirits.
With her holistic approach to filling your life with comfort, balance, and peace, Debrena Jackson Gandy debunks society's myth that doing something for yourself is decadent and selfish. In fact, she says, the joy we gain from treating ourselves--whether to a luxuriant bath or to a meditative hour alone--is transferred to the people in our lives. When we emerge rejuvenated, others benefit from a patient mother, a fulfilled wife, an effective coworker, a solidly grounded friend.
Written for African-American women, but accessible to women of all races, Sacred Pampering Principles demonstrates not only pampering ideas, but also explains why pampering, for less time and money than one might imagine, is vital to a balanced life.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book! I think Self care from the black woman’s perspective and the way we operate with other when we lack it is the highlight of this book! From emotional to physical to setting boundaries and over hauling friendships and their communication styles to be more fulfilling. As well as more effective is honestly a confirmation to a self care over haul I did in my life just a couple year prior. As a former people pleaser, reading books like these really helps set the tone that your not alone in the internal and societal structure at large. You deserve to be cared for too. I really appreciate this work. I think you will too.
