WILD POEMS
​
"To read Wild is to connect with the mystery and miracles of the natural world. At times humorous, always reflective, Stephanie Petrie's words reveal the lessons and the joys of observing living things." —Marci Shimoff, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Happy for No Reason and Chicken Soup for the Women's Soul.
​
In her first series of nature poetry—along with meditations on life—Stephanie Petrie explores how the natural world can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves. With appreciation for animals and the mysteries that surround our daily life with the natural world, she gives voice to the many special messages and miracles they reveal to us every day.
​
Throughout the 48 poems of Wild, she shares a passion for nature from the smallest of moments of what a snail tells us about housing as she begins her journey on a garden leaf; to a mountain lion looking at her with glowing eyes in the dark as she walks on a desert trail; and to seeing a raccoon finding his final resting place beneath an apple tree in her backyard.
​
In Part I Wild at Heart, Stephanie observes living things and their messages and miracles. Part II, The Expanding Quest, explores the essence of the natural world. Part III, Moments of Grace, wrestles with grief and missed opportunities, while revealing how insights into nature and life expand our own lives.
Voices of Intuition: Women's Journeys of Listening Within
​
In this book, I explore how intuition can guide our daily lives by connecting us to the divine, leading us to an authentic life that deepens a loving relationship with ourselves and others.
​
Specifically, I tell the stories of twelve brave and beautiful women who acknowledge, embrace, and allow their intuition to blossom in ways they could not have imagined.
​
Through their experiences you’ll begin to gain the courage to follow your own intuition and then learn how you can integrate it into your daily life, opening doors to opportunities that you may have never thought possible.
Following the Signs
​
After my dreams of a perfect life in marriage are shattered by a divorce, I travel from an idyllic life in California to Sedona, Arizona, and eventually to the pyramids of Egypt as I embark on a spiritual journey of self-discovery.
​
In this memoir, I tell the story of how people, nature, and life choices are all connected, in order to challenge our "expected" social role in life and to show how we can allow ourselves to be transformed on life's journey. This adventure continues to require profound courage, commitment, and faith in the beauty of life as we discover a deeper purpose and source of happiness.
