Notices: Learning Journeys
Long ago, David and I made a decision that whatever money accrued to
us in a life of ministry, we would not put it toward the purchase of
things, but toward meaningful experiences. We would like to offer you
the opportunity to join us on two learning journeys. This Soulish Food
will fill you in on the Voluntourism trip to Kenya, Africa and next
week we will send out detailed information about the Stratford Theatre
Festival. CLICK HERE to read the full "Voluntourism Journey to Kenya" information/invitation letter (includes photos). We hope you will be able to join us on one or both experiences into learning through journeying.

register on the Web site to receive the biweekly newsletter. You might
want to recommend this to friends also. They can go to www.HungrySouls.org.

BOOK CORNER
A Woman's Path:
Women’s Best Spiritual Travel Writing
edited by Lucy McCauley, Amy G. Carlson and Jennifer Leo
Although the majority of travelogues are authored by men, I was intrigued by the subtitle on this book (Women’s Best Spiritual Travel Writing).
It has long been my prejudice that all journeys can become pilgrimages,
physical trips geographically often become interior, bring surprising
insight into our own personal souls.
In addition, the list
of authors included some of my favorites—Anne Lamott, Maya Angelou,
Diane Ackerman, Natalie Goldberg, etc., etc. Perhaps the overwhelming
popularity of Eat, Pray, Love
by Elizabeth Gilbert summarized what many were suspecting—the adventure
of a journey outward often parallels the odyssey of a journey inward.
If you can find a copy of this book, you might agree with the back-cover copy: “More than just an adventure, A Woman’s Path
presents inspiring stories of spiritual growth and awakening, written
by some of the world’s finest women writers. Around the globe and
across religions, the stories in this enthralling collection touch on
common themes: opening up, letting go, finding inner peace. This
collection beckons all women to be mindful and daring on their walk
along the sacred path.”
Where are you going to travel this
year? Are you pushing yourself toward those edges that enlarge the
mind, the heart, and the deep places of your being? The Africa journey
is for both men and women, but this is a good book to begin for women
who have to nudge the men in their lives toward stepping out of the
life-as-work rut.
