WINNER, 2023 Nautilus Book Award - Memoir & Personal Journey (Essay Format)
"I've been reading your archives... reading and rereading everything I could find. You are an amazing creature. Bravissimo..." - Marlena de Blasi, internationally bestselling author of A Thousand Days in Venice and A Thousand Days in Tuscany
For nearly five years, the Soul Artist Journal, a weekly e-column/blog by healer, chef, and author L.R. Heartsong, explored the art of living a meaningfully connected existence, celebrating a life for the senses. Though the posts were diverse, the underlying theme was always, how do we nourish the soul?
ORDINARY SACRED is the third volume in an anthology; a final gathering of posts selected from the archives and twenty-plus categories, spanning the Journal's arc of existence. Easily accessible, these heart-full and eloquent writings exalt the ordinary sacred, delivering inspiration for one's daily journey.
Fans and subscribers of the Soul Artist Journal, as well as new readers discovering Heartsong's award-winning work, will delight in this offering of lyrical prose in praise of nature, food, soul, and intimate relationship with Earth. Like the previous SAJ compilations, with a gently luminous heart, here is a timely and welcome nod toward the re-enchantment of everyday life.
