‘Fairy tales matter because at the heart of every one of them is transformation.’In a world in which all the old certainties seem to be crumbling, it's hard not to feel we have lost our way. In Ripening, Sharon Blackie insists that fairy tales are precisely the stories we need for such times.

Long before they became bywords for people-pleasing princesses, these old stories – passed down to us through generations by our peasant ancestors – told us everything that women need to learn about the world. They might be set in difficult and dangerous times, but they require their heroines to face the unfaceable and dig deep for previously unimagined inner resources. They teach us to be savvy, inspire us to grow in confidence, show us how to be bold and claim the future we dream of. More than anything, fairy tales are soul-food. They show us how to take hold of our own personal narratives and transform them into stories that might begin with trauma, but end with empowerment.  They offer us images of startling resonance and beauty, while showing us how to recognise and make use of the possibilities that rise to the surface when broken systems are cracked open.

Good flavor
Size: 1.45 Pound (Pack of 1)
Good flavor. I quit drinking Metamucil in the past because I didn't like the orange. I was reluctant to try a different flavor but after reading many positive comments about this one I decided to try it. I was not disappointed. Thank you to all who left positive comments about the Berry flavor.

This could really be a life changer for you. It was for me.
Size: 1.46 Pound (Pack of 1)
I was having a real problem with severe constipation caused by medication I am taking. I mean it got scary bad and I was really worried if the rest of my life would have this problem. I made the mistake of thinking a laxative was the answer, although it did bring temporary relief (that one time), it was a mess to say the least. I talked to my physician about this problem and he said do not take the laxatives (they are an irritant), but to try a fiber product such as Metamucil. I thought Metamucil was for "old people", for "sick people" and such. So I got on Amazon (of course) and bought this product and started using it exactly as the instructions say to. It has been an AMAZING transformation. Very quickly, my constipation problem began to go away until it was never a problem again. I noticed that I became much more healthier in my digestive system. It worked better, felt better and I am sure it was MUCH BETTER for my body health wise. I have to say that I was a little put off by some of the moderately graphic phrases that some reviewers said such as "cleanest wipe you will ever have" and "smooth as butter" and whatever. BUT, these people were exactly correct. The things that they said were completely true. I will get graphic myself since I want people to know. When you go, you will know it is time, and there is no running to the bathroom suddenly. There is no struggle, no waiting, no straining. You just go and everything comes out just the way it should. Very easy. Now, when you do use that toilet paper, you will be amazed that there just is no "residue" on that paper. Clean as a whistle both on the paper and your down under. Honestly, I don't know how or why, it just is. This product will change your life for the better in several ways. Your daily functioning will be much smoother. You will probably lose some inches from the waist. Your bloodwork results will probably be more positive. You will be healthier. I wish I had known about this product a long time ago! What other things are out there that I should have know about, I wonder! The orange sugar free tastes great, like Tang or even orange juice. I put a heaping teaspoon of powder in a normal sized glass of water, stir it immediately and down the hatch. I stir again halfway down to make sure there is not a bunch waiting for me at the bottom of the glass. I don't mind the taste or the grit or anything. It's all good. I love this stuff and what it does for me! I will be using it for the rest of my life.

Recommended by my M.D.
Size: 1.46 Pound (Pack of 1)
My M.D. told me to use this daily. It tastes a bit like "Tang" but that's fine. The fiber is good for regular bowel movements, but it also gives you a feeling of fullness which is helpful in reducing hunger sensations. So, it can help with weight loss. Be sure you get the sugar-free.
