Book excerpt: In her newest collection of essays, Barnhouse (Waking Up The Karma Fairy) writes about everyday events, rendering them spiritual. At Big Bill's U-Store, an auction of rummage items prompts Barnhouse to dream up an emotional baggage sale. Drawing from both her personal experience and her insights as a minister and therapist, Barnhouse urges readers to let go of regrets and stress about the future and to surrender to circumstance during times of conflict. Her motto: Don't just do something, stand there. Barnhouse's humorous and hopeful message is that faith in family, friends, and one2s self, rather than sudden actions, provides the guidance necessary to weather life's problems and personal struggles.
