As a married woman who experienced coming out, divorce, death of a parent, and loss of a career - all in one year in her late 40s - she began to appreciate that the universe might be trying to get her attention. Swimming the River: Inspirational Shorts, Insights, and Glimpses of Grace chronicles a middle-aged woman's on0going stumbling out of the safe, the secure, the familiar, into the free-fall of surrendering her illusions of control. this collection of humorous, often edgy, personal essays exposer her (our) hilarious attempts to keep the plates of relationships, work, and self-acceptance all spinning in the air at the same time. And when they finally fall and break, to recognize yet another are-you-kidding-me? opportunity for spiritual growth, Swimming the River provokes a universal recognition of the comical - sometimes painful - chasing of our own tails in search of something that we hope will finally mitigate some low-grade food-poisoning of our souls. Swimming the River' s light-hearted yet ferocious honesty is an invitation to anyone embarked on an inner journey and especially to those who feel that there is something missing in their otherwise happy marriages/relationships or successful careers. It speaks to folks who are seeking a more mature perspective, one that closely reflects their life-long experiences regarding career, family, relationships, and spirituality.
