Day after day she tells the story of trying to stay centered, of teetering between a stubborn belief in happy endings and her current bleak circumstances, of being graced with illuminations no sooner forgetting them, and of standing strong only to be tumbled over by doubt. This book could have been titled: What A Quest For Purpose Looks Like For Most Of Us (who are not spiritual masters).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHIS FOUR-MONTH journey turns into an unabashed and often humorous spiritual memoir where twists of mind and inner radiance compete for the starring role as anecdotes, personal lessons and wisdom are shared. Throughout, scenes exude an uncommon candor and refreshing authenticity. Although this is the story of one, center stage belongs to the universal journey of seeking one's truth and self-empowerment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHIS BOOK tells the tale of the alternating feistiness and surrender of a spirit and shamelessly exposes the nooks and crannies of an odd - though oddly familiar - mind.
