The true cost of anything is what we give up in order to have it.  It is the path not taken.  To take the responsibility of making the choice is crucial and not always easy.  What defines the heroine is that she does it.  (Jean Shinoda Bolen, "Goddesses in Everywoman")

*gasps* I have that book! Bolen's work on archetypes is what really inspired me to write when I was younger. Wow, now I really have to find where I've dumped my copy and rediscover it all over again. Thanks :D

I read it a long time ago, then got a copy for Christmas and re-read it and got totally different things out of it this time around! I love books like that. I am such a Persephone, lol. It's embarrassing to read at times...but it's good to be forced to think about your own patterns...
