Is it possible to be level-headed AND have a rich interior life? Is it possible to get through the day with poise when the shit hits the fan? Is it possible to have a spiritual life and not be a off with the fairies? For Jen Weigel, the answer to all three questions is a resounding YES. This is an honest, amusing teaching memoire rooted in Weigel's everyday experience as a mother, television personality and performance artist. Weigel provides 13 common-sense 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.
