    “Other people’s opinions of [The Crone] are really the business of those others. They are insignificant to her. While she may notice an occasional waver within herself if judgment is slung at her, she has the wherewithal to pause, breathe, and find her connection point to Mother Earth. She is comfortable in herself, her identity, and who she is. She is in deep process allowing the conditioning that is inevitable in this lifetime to slough off as she moves through the trials and tribulations life has brought and brings her way.” -Dr. Denise Renye (excerpt from her essay in The Crone Initiation and Invitation: Women Speak on the Menopause Journey)
