She has been commonly labeled a Goddess of Ancient Greece, but she did not originate there. That is part of her mystery. She may have originated in the Minoan civilization, and evidence of her has been found in Sicily, Libya, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Syria.

Adventures with My FortiesEp. 18 Putting the SELF in Self-HelpI love self-help books! But that has not always been the case. When I was younger, I felt drawn to the self-help section at the bookstore but ashamed at the idea of reading those books. After I I got my first Kindle, I started to make up for lost time. I have learned to be an active participant in the self help books I read, embracing only the ideas that work for me. But the past few years, I took Marie Kondo's books about decluttering a bit too seriously. I internalized some subconscious belief that if I did not...
