Thank you for writing, and I hope you visit often. I will try to be a more faithful blogger -- difficult in the midst of the publication of Devotion. The irony does not escape me that it's harder to maintain all my practices while I'm out there talking about them! Hi Laura, that's exactly right: the overflowing closet, the undernourished soul...

I was gobsmacked by your book, "Devotion". We share similar but very different backgrounds leading to the same questions, experiences and paths taken and not taken. I had a liberal Christian background which I left at 17, both my parents were emotionally unavailable as parents and people and my Mother probably had borderline personality disorder among other things which was a 92 year hairy ride.<br><br>During your whole book I was getting aha's and tears and sighs of agreement or pain recognition. Your outcomes were the same ones I came to, except I moved further away from any Christian identification or need to name a diety. For years now, mine have always worn dresses anyhow. The patriarchy has ruined me for an all male higher power.<br><br>You are an amazing critical thinker, writer and have wonderful access to your inner self. I fully intend to read everything you have written. Hi, Dani. I was gobsmacked by your book, "Devotion".

During your whole book I was getting aha's and tears and sighs of agreement or pain recognition. Your outcomes were the same ones I came to, except I moved further away from any Christian identification or need to name a diety. For years now, mine have always worn dresses anyhow. The patriarchy has ruined me for an all male higher power.

You are an amazing critical thinker, writer and have wonderful access to your inner self. I fully intend to read everything you have written.

My father is a wonderful man and a retired Methodist minister. I have spent the last several decades exploring and growing what would become a thin foundation for my spiritual beliefs. Now 40, married, mother of two boys, 5 and 6, and a slew of animals (two dogs, two goats, chickens, and a cat) my motivation to dig a little deeper and quiet my soul has taken a huge jump on the list of things to do. After many years of successful studies in our wonderful school of saturated capitalism, my closet runneth over, but the soul is a different story. My fulfillment must manifest from within. I am genuinely looking forward to reading your works. Thanks~ Laura Hi Dani~ I am a new recruit on the road of spiritual enlightenment. My father is a wonderful man and a retired Methodist minister.

I promise to be a more regular blogger -- I've just been traveling so much for Devotion. Not enough time to settle down... though perhaps that, in itself, is the practice. To learn how to be centered even in an non-centering time. Thanks! I promise to be a more regular blogger -- I've just been traveling so much for Devotion.

That Books & Books reading really was a magical evening. The energy in the room was just perfect. I wish they all could be just like that... Thank you!
