A Splendid Mess: Chronicles of a practically enlightened misfit

Do you feel like you don’t fit in this world? You’re not alone. A SPLENDID MESS is an inspiring and playful self-help/memoir hybrid about the journey of figuring out life and our sometimes baffling attempts at conversing with the Universe (God). Unlike many other books of the genre, this one was written from the trenches — while life was happening — not in hindsight while sipping a margarita and leisurely sailing aboard the Happy Ending . The author chose to candidly share what a quest for purpose and personal truth really looks like, day-to-day, for those of us who are not spiritual masters. So, if your path is filled with ups and downs and turnarounds that sometimes leave you feeling breathless and dizzy, this one’s for you. This book is like having a conversation with a friend who will never judge you because she is going through her own stuff, being honest about it, and offering her wisdom along the way. You'll commiserate, laugh, cry, and come out feeling seen, uplifted, validated, and no longer alone. After a lifetime of soul searching, Annie feels trapped in her life. She has never felt like she belonged anywhere, and she is buckling under the crushing pain of not living as the person she knows herself to be. This book is the story of how, one morning, she hears a whisper urging her to begin a new, more purposeful life across the continent. Defying logic and caution, she boldly answers the call and decides to chronicle her soulful pursuit of happiness in a spirited diary that lets us in on her splendid mess. ♥ Don’t let another day go by feeling like you’re on your own — grab your copy of A Splendid Mess today!
