The Three-Legged Milking Stool: Old Country Wisdom From A City Girl

The Three Legged Milking Stool
old country wisdom from a city girl Learning from the journey....

What connection does a primitive milking stool have with a professional woman who was raised in Chicago and traveled a convoluted but illuminating path in life? It’s a metaphor for lessons learned, importance of traditional values and wisdom gained from mistakes made in the course of survival. With one leg missing the stool won’t stand. And in the same way, without the balance of family, desire to grow both spiritually and intellectually and a commitment to what brings you joy, life is unstable at best. The author takes you through her journey and the metaphor that is central to her life. With a style that’s irreverent while scholarly, she’ll describe what she’s learned and what those lessons can mean to others. She’ll make you smile and touch your sensitivities with her insights and introspection. Have a seat on the stool and rest awhile!
