About Romancing the Ordinary: A Year of Simple Splendor

A spiritual guide that encourages readers to find joy and fulfillment in daily life by focusing on the senses, particularly introducing "knowing" (intuition) and "wonder" as two additional senses beyond the traditional five. Organized seasonally, the book offers reflections, rituals, recipes, and decorating ideas to help women reconnect with their "Essential Self" and find simple, everyday magic. Key aspects of the book: Seven Senses: It expands the traditional five senses (sight, sound, scent, taste, touch) to include "knowing" (intuition) and "wonder" (rapture/reverence).Structure: The book is structured as a year-long journey, with monthly and weekly reflections that focus on different senses and themes. Content: It blends personal reflection with practical suggestions, drawing from literature, myth, and personal experience to inspire readers to find beauty in the mundane .Goal: To help women restore their "weary and jaded feminine souls" by embracing the "ecstatic experience of daily life".
