The idea for this book was born sometime in early spring of 2013 in a conversation with members of the Gaia Women of the Great Lakes Basin. We were beginning to think about celebrating our first decade as a group. Gradually the contributions began flowing in to me along with photographs taken over the years. The end result is a compilation of our journey as a singing group and the story of our values and beliefs as we send our message out to the world to love and protect our planet and all its creatures.
