Leonie Dawson is a best-selling author, successful entrepreneur, philanthropist, coach, artist and mother. She coaches thousands of women every single year helping them to create amazing lives + businesses.
So I wanted to clarify a few things about this review coming from a more current perspective. When I found Leonie's site back in fall of 2010 I had just graduated from college, just moved to start my first job, and was feeling pretty disconnected and trying to "find myself". At that time Leonie's site was marketed as the Goddess Circle, a place where women could come together and support each other while we worked on lessons that covered a variety of lessons, home decoration, healthy living, artistic expression, or starting a business. It was fun and a bit woo-woo. Now it has become something that feels a lot less genuine and I cannot in good conscious recommend her services. I feel they are now way over priced (when I joined her site it was $99, now it is $500 for the same content).
I discovered Leonie's Goddess Circle about a year ago and instantly fell in love with the turquoise mermaid magic that is her site. There is so much wisdom in just her blog, let alone her amazing lessons and classes. After a few months I decided to purchase a membership to the circle, and it was the best $99 I ever spent. Hands down. I have learned so much about my own spirituality and how to be a creative goddess, and I owe so much of that to Goddess Leonie. Her classes, meditation, artwork, and writing are all beautiful and inspirational. I am in total love.
73 Lessons Every Goddess Must Know is a lovely collection of some of Leonie's best work. There are sections on creativity, motherhood, self confidence, and spirituality all peppered with beautiful photography and artwork. My only wish is that this book was in full color. I would have paid double for that :)

The Goddess Circle online social network. This is like Facebook for Goddesses; you can connect with people all over the world. They have groups where people are going through the various e-courses together. Some of it is organized by individuals and some by Goddess Leone. There is also a pen pal club (I just sent out 8 letters!) and many other things. I am already overwhelmed, but truly excited. I will be posting my lessons on my Radical Self Love blog. This is an enchanting program and book and I look forward to working my way through it all.
That's the only way I can think to describe this book. I laughed (a lot!), I cried (not quite as much), and I danced. Full of inspiration and doodles and pages for you to write and doodle on, this is a book I would recommend to every woman. Some of the content is available for free on Leonie's website (http://www.leoniedawson.com), so feel free to head over there. If you like what you see on the "freebies" page, get this book.
My 4/5 comes from the fact that if you print it, be aware that all the page margins are on the left, so binding is a tiny bit problematic. (Unless you print single-sided, and um, I don't recommend that because it's a little over 200 pages long!)
If you're not familiar with Leonie, you don't know what you're missing. Her book is a delight, a breath of fresh air. A young, accomplished business woman, artist and mother, with a keen insight into helping other people make their own dreams come true. At first I was a little concerned about taking life, business and creativity advice from someone so much younger than myself, but I could not have been more wrong. Love this book, her kits and workbooks as well.
This book was fabulous! I actually have it as an ebook so I missed out on the cutting out and writing in pages. I recommend this to those looking to spark their creativity and find their inner goddess. It's full of suggestions, stories and great goddess energy!
