Book Notes

"Over many years of observing deeply spiritual women, I have concluded that they have something in common, whether or not they make religious retreats. They are able to find spiritual-spa-refreshment in everyday living. Somehow they have discovered ways to spiritualize their mundane tasks.

"...I'm convinced I've been overlooking an important source of spiritual refreshment, one I call "The Spiritual Spa.' At this 'spa' we can learn how to spiritually relax and shut our the voices in our heads, so that even changing diapers can refresh us and teach us. After all, it is those daily activities that provide clues to the mystery of who we are, why we are here, and why we are in this place at this moment in history.

"...The Spiritual Spa requires surrender of an interior kind. Such surrender releases the power we possess (whether we are conscious of it or not) to step into the refreshing pool of God's grace. It is in this way that we can revitalize and renew ourselves at our core. There are strategic ways to approach this, and it is my hope that this book will help readers, working independently or in a group, to incorporate a few into their everyday routine."
