Acknowledgments
Let me start by appreciating Kristin Xavier, who channeled the guidance that I should write a book combining the wisdom I found in the feminist art movement and in Kundalini Yoga. It’s not exactly as we first imagined, but the vision ignited a spark that still glows after many years.
I’m very thankful to the supportive and helpful feedback I received from many readers, including members of the Crafting the Story workshop at Writers At Work.
I would never have been able to bring this book to completion were it not for the unflagging cheerleading of Pablo Alvarez and my art buddy of decades, Mary-Linn Hughes.
I am humbled by the astute editorial guidance I received from Kat Talley-Jones, Pablo Alvarez, and Donna Frazier. Erick Monrrigo heroically formatted my citations and continues to support my efforts to get the word out.
And I am grateful every day for my extraordinary spouse, Yvonne M. Estrada, who contributed the illustrations and photos for Guru Grrrl and always makes me laugh.
