It is refreshingly honest, funny, and kind, enabling people of any, or no, faith tradition to consider what it means to offer blessing in the face of our day-to-day lived experiences." --Jill E. Crimmings, associate rabbi at Bet Shalom Congregation, Minnetonka, MN</p><p>"From the most routine moments in life, like walking in bare feet or looking in the mirror, to some of the most remarkable moments, like coming out or sending a child into the world, <i>Ordinary Blessings</i> gently acknowledges the times where we may feel isolated in loneliness, joyful together in celebration, and every space in-between." --Molly Gulsvig, early childhood educator and yoga instructor</p><p>"In <i>Ordinary Blessings</i>, Meta Herrick Carlson invites us to take a second look at our days through lenses of hope, abundance, and a sense of enough. Her writing is accessible and beautiful, dusting off our stale ideas of prayer and offering us God's healing in the places we hurt the most. <i>Ordinary Blessings</i> is a gift. --Ellie Roscher, author of <i>Play Like a Girl</i> and <i>How Coffee Saved My Life</i></p><p>"In <i>Ordinary Blessings</i>, Meta Herrick Carlson helps the reader identify the Holy in the mundane, lifting up the extraordinary gift of everyday life and giving meaning to both its highs and lows. The poetry in this book will have universal appeal to everybody trying to live a life of meaning and intention." --David Locketz, senior rabbi at Bet Shalom Congregation, Minnetonka, MN</p><p>"A beautiful resource for remembering the blessings that surround us and the richness of daily life." --Sarah Super, founder of Break the Silence</p><br>
