Women have instinctively been drawn to support one another throughout time. Our global heritage is enriched by these strong and beautiful women who seek out and find respite when weary, an anchor when drifting, anxious to reach shore where they can rest. Communities of women have evolved as the sistahood , offering solace and comfort to friends, neighbors, sisters, and daughters bound through kinship of life and comfort food. This sistahcircle— a group of trusted friends — is for your enjoyment, and empowerment. Go ahead and jump right in wherever your need or curiosity leads you.
There is emotional food for all on the pages that hold stories of some everyday, and other dynamic events that redefined lives of these women. I felt very encouraged by the drama, humor and insightful observations of these writers. I would like to read more of these writers' stories, especially by the author Lynn Whitaker.

What gives life meaning, imbuing our journey with a sense of purpose? In answer to this essential question, the creative writings in the book, More of Life's Spices: Sistahs Keepin' it Real speak eloquently of the uniqueness of the feminine and the call to creativity that is the heritage of all women, regardless of background, location or race.
As Lillian Comas-Diaz writes in the foreword, "These are women who keep it real and are rooted in the celebration of life. The selections all make the assertion that it is through the power of sisterhood that women build a community of practice based on creativity and the will to prevail regardless of the hurdles on the life path. In this practice, women work to offer support, comfort, advice, courage, and criticism along a continuum which leads them to the realization of their own wisdom. These experiences become the spices that flavor their life and their relationships. It blends the positive with the negative to assert the notion that sistahs, mujers , and women of color are able to face life's challenges by invoking the creative as the source to liberate themselves and in so doing, liberate others.

For example, the short reflection, "Circles of Life," offers a tongue-in-cheek commentary of the circle of life with a play on the circles or wrinkles a woman develops naturally along the journey. With a sassy, hand-on-hip no-nonsense vibe, the author unapologetically conveys the message, I have earned these circles, as well as the right to claim my identity. This concept of journeying towards acceptance is explored in all the entries through the multiple perspectives of women whose experiences range from surviving cancer and sexual abuse, losing a brother to cancer, yearning for the love of a mother too soon departed to the celebration of rites of passage, gaining political consciousness, and the thrill of sexual intimacy between a seasoned sistah and her much younger lover.
As the reader peers into the intimate, tender moments presented in the selections, one is drawn to the sense of resilience, the indomitable will to transcend trauma and grasp the beauty of life, even when it hangs in fragile strands on the periphery.

This is poignantly conveyed in the selection, "Life Changes Even When we Resist," where the main character, just two days out of the hospital after being treated for heart trouble, prepares a grand Thanksgiving feast in defiance of her children and grandchildren who want her to relax. Reflecting on past Thanksgiving dinners where she reigned as matriarch, she defies the changes wrought by life: We're left to ponder the notion that as food nourishes our bodies, it also works as a salve for the weary soul, pulling friends and family together into that unending circle that is life well lived: For truly, this is the spice of life!
Everynow and then you meet a woman who is so inspired that she is inspirational. I would be remiss if I would not add that I am one of the authors that was honored to have one of her pieces selected for this anthology. However I was honored to spend several hours with Vicki at the Sacramento Book Fair and it was evident very quickly that she believes in her work and in the spoken word.
