The Kitchen Mystic: Spiritual Lessons Hidden in Everyday Life

The first half of the book, or the first tape if you have the audio tape version, is the best. The last half still has much to offer. So many of the things she talks about I felt to be very close to my heart. Mary Hayes-Grieco offers a very practical spirituality for the practical person. Her writting style is easy & flowing. She talks about everyday practical things rather than lofty theological ideas. I had the tape set first & wore it out with repeated listening. Her ideas were just as refreshing each time I heard them. I have now bought the book & read it again. I expect that you will have the same endurement to this book.

The information in this book helps you to appreciate the little and big things in life. It teaches to savor all aspects, from problems (seeing how we learn from them and accepting them as growing experiences) to developing an appreciation for mundane things in our lives. It helps you connect yourself with your own unique spirituality by opening you to take a better look at the life you are leading and understand and appreciate everything you do, you are, and you see!! It left me with a feeling of "I am so happy to be alive, with my problems, challenges, blessings and all!!"
