The other meditations close with a thought for the day.Most of the meditations open with a quote from various sources of inspiration: Maya Angelou, Cameron Diaz, Princess Diana, Miss Piggy, Susan B. Anthony and others. The meditations are designed to help teen girls be more conscious and aware of developmental, cultural, and personal factors affecting them. The importance of friendships, of dreams and goals, of respect for other family members are among many topics. The particular hazards and joys of being female are explored: for instance, how does the role of beauty in our culture affect girls coming of age?

She also co-authored Today's Gift, a meditation book (Hazelden) and written Family Attitudes, and The Step Dance:Ins and Outs of Stepparenting (Hazelden). Ms. Hoolihan lives with her family in Minneapolis where she teaches at Metropolitan State University and The Loft.Photo Credit: William Pringle Rodman.
