I'm Spiritual, Dammit : How to Keep Your Feet on the Ground and Your Head in the Stars

Is it possible to be grounded AND have a rich interior life? Is it possible to get through the day with poise when everything hits the fan? Is it possible to have a spiritual life and not be a wing-nut? For Jen Weigel, the answer to all three questions is a resounding YES.This is an honest, amusing teaching memoir rooted in Weigel's everyday experience as a mother, television personality, and performance artist. Weigel provides thirteen commonsense rules for developing a sane and satisfying interior life-ranging from "e;trust that you are where you are supposed to be in every moment"e; to "e;always look for signs,"e;-to "e;don't get lost in a guru."e; What makes this book so fun and refreshing is Weigel's voice-and the fact that, in the words of one of her friends, she is a "e;magnet for really bizarre shit."e; Whether she is playing chicken with deranged Chicago drivers with "e;Jesus Saves"e; bumper stickers, trying to keep those extra pounds off, interviewing celebrities on television, or encountering the spirit of her dead father (who keeps appearing in the guise of a cardinal-a bird, not a prelate), Weigel maintains a zest for learning, living, and loving. Her high-spirited stories illustrate core life principles and convey an immediacy and energy that readers will find delightful.
