Tap Dancing in Zen

This is my second time around with Geri Larkin. I was feeling a little lost about a year and a half ago. Found her book, Stumbling Towards Enlightnment ( I was drawn to the beautiful cover!), and I was hooked! This woman is light hearted, really funny, easy to read,and gives us novice "stumblers" a good look at the Buddhist life. She makes you feel as if you are right there, experincing the moments with her. Something, I feel, is the duty of a good author. Thru humor you will learn, and hopefully a little of this 'tap dancing' will change your life, as it did mine! If you are curious about Buddhism, or just need to escape your traditional ways of handling life-READ THIS BOOK!

I have been in love with "Stumbling..." for over a year now, and was sure Geri Larkin's second book could not possibly hold the same appeal....but I was mistaken. For me, her first book was an all encompassing reference for general wisdom, humor and compassion; one I reach for often. This book is different . I find it more refined and subtle. While she retains her sense of humor and her stories have me nodding yet again in recognition, Geri Larkin seems to have grown even more centered and confident on her path than before. I am grateful for her journey; I am shuffling along behind her...attempting toTap Dance!

I was having one of those guilt-ridden days -- work, family, friends, you name it -- I was certain I was letting everyone down. Rather than grab for the remote control to watch some mindless tv, I grabbed for Geri's book instead. What timing! I thought I would only thumb through a few pages, but two pages in and I knew I had to finish. I learned a lot about why I had gotten to my state of guilt in the first place and what I could do to get out of it. Thank you, Geri, for your personal, humorous, and yet very "serious" look at transforming as a way of living. The book will find it's way next to many of my colleagues, family members and friends remote controls for the next time they're having "one of those day."

I laughed & Cryed but the one thing I did most was Learn ..... Thank You Geri Larkin for taking the time to write this book for I needed it so ...... If any one is looking for a great journey into knowing about ZEN this is the book for you ...... Once More WOW what a great book :)
