Have you ever wondered why bad things happen in your life when you know you are doing all the right things? Is illness merely a wake up call or is there a deeper spiritual meaning? What propels you to your soul's growing edge? To be a buddha means to be awake while living the questions.
The Messy Buddha spotlights Kate McLennan's journey to awaken and find meaning while dancing on her soul's growing edge through cancer, chronic illness, and the path of relationship. Weaving stories of her "earth suit" adventures with tools to grow spiritually, The Messy Buddha guides you to search for meaning in all of life's messiness.
Imagine Anne Lamott's gritty gospel grandeur tangling with Natalie Goldberg's zafu-riding zen zestiness. Awaken with The Messy Buddha, and find balance on your soul's growing edge.
