I've been attracted to spiritual ideas my whole life and felt the rapturous expansive joy of moments of Oneness...(a few of them, not many, I will be honest) while reading an enlightening book or meditating on a new concept. But integrating what I am learning into my real, daily, brush your teeth, pay bills, procrastinate exercise, life -- that's an whole other thing. That's what I'll be writing about. That journey. And I'd love to hear about yours.
