Everyday Grace

Having Hope, Finding Forgiveness, and Making Miracles

By Marianne Williamson

What do your spiritual convictions have to do with traffic jams, job anxiety, reading the newspaper, or arguing with your spouse? Everything, according to Marianne Williamson. It is the way we live in our everyday world that determines the shape of who we are. So Buddhist or Muslim, Christian or Jew, it is the moments when our daughter doesnt' make the basketball team, or our best friend lands our dream job, or our business instinct tells us to bury the guy across the boardroom table,

that test and build our living faith. In these pages, Williamson teaches us to ride the currents of our everyday ups-and-downs; and she shows us how to find, in each of those moments, an opening to the soul.

For each of our souls is a storehouse of spiritual riches and mystical powers. Everyday Grace helps us mine our inner resources as we lay the foundation for a more graceful life: a life in which we stop blaming and judging; a life in which how we get there is as important as where we're going; a life in which we take time to savor sacred silence; a life in which miracles happen. Marianne Williamson walks us through a day in this life, helping us foster spirit in everything from grief, guilt, and jealousy, to boredom, anxiety, hopelessness, and happiness. And in five vivid, inspirational, and timely meditations, she writes with passion on imbuing our rituals, holidays, relationships, community, and Sabbaths with peace and purpose. Reclaiming those times and places we expect to be happy and holy; times and places we are often most disappointed not to see God in ourselves or in those we love most.

Once we harness the mystical power within us, we can change ourselves, our lives, and our world. From the mundane to sublime, we can begin right here, right now. If we can show up at play, at work, and at worship with open hearts and open minds, we can begin to see the miracles going on all around us. And we can begin to work the magic or miracles ourselves.

So, close your eyes, take a deep breath, open this book, and let the magic begin.
