Our Ordinary Extraordinary Lives

The authors of this book are Susan Beal, Claire Blatchford, Drena Griffe, Rue Hass, Mary Reddy, Freya Secrest and Julia Spangler. They are all engaged in a practice of Incarnational Spirituality. David Spangler writes that Incarnational Spirituality is a practice in which living a sacred life means honoring ourselves and the Earth. It is a practice of bringing wholeness into ourselves and into the life of the world around us. It is about engaging through our own uniqueness and blessing with the world as it is, in order that the world as it could be-a loving and healed world-may emerge. These authors write about the many ways in which they bring sacredness into their lives in the midst of the challenges and joys of their everyday world. They write in these blogs about the practice of the "divinely ordinary." In so doing, they illumine what is possible for all of us. They illumine what it can mean to lead a sacred life.
