This Blessed Mess

Pat Livingston grew up believing that if you work hard and do what you think is right, all will be well.  No one told her that life would be chaotic.  But the chaos of ordinary life can be just another name for energy and power, untamed and unformed but not bad.  It can be shaped and channeled, tamed and reinterpreted in ways that unleash our creativity.

Now in dozens of good humored stories filled with hope and encouragement, she shares with us her lifetime of taming chaos.

She not only invites us to do the same but also assures us that in the midst of all the "messiness" we’ll discover, as she did, a blessing…and a hope.
