Paula Huston, almost crazed with her hectic
life as a college instructor and a busy mom,
sets out to simplify her life and deepen
her spirituality, following the lead of
great spiritual leaders of the past.
I actually gasped out loud when I read the
chapter where Huston realizes that the more
effort she put into her spirituality, the
more judgmental she seemed to be about other
people; yep, I saw myself. While I liked
some of Huston's ideas for simplifying and
spiritualize-ing, I noticed that my mind
kept wandering away from the pages of the
book. Not sure why.
