In some cultures, animals act as guardian angels or guides that assist humans in times of need. As one of the world's oldest vertebrates, the turtle is symbolic in many cultures. Turtles represent the need to slow down and avoid being caught up in the fast pace of modern society. Many years ago, Carollyne discovered that the Turtle is her spirit guide. When life becomes too hectic, the Turtle appears to Carollyne--urging her to persevere, be patient, and allow life to take its natural course.

Since turtles have a sturdy shell to protect them from predators, many believe those who have the Turtle as a spirit guide are similarly well-equipped to protect themselves and provide shelter for their family. In many Native American cultures, the turtle supports humans on its back. In Eastern cultures, the turtle's shell is a symbol of Heaven.

You Can Write "I Do" and more... calls upon the wisdom of the Turtle spirit to guide couples through the rituals of the significant life passages outlined in the book.
