What: Momma Zen: Walking the Crooked Path of Motherhood
Why: Take a Deep Breath with this wonderful book. Karen Maezen Miller is a practiced Zen Teacher who discovered early on after her daughter was born that the baby she was holding would be her greatest spiritual teacher. She begins each chapter with a beautiful Zen story or quote and carefully ties in her personal experience (somehow they all will feel like YOUR personal experiences, as well) looking through the calming, challenging lens of Zen Buddhism. She magically weaves great sadness with hilarity, opening up about the paradox of mothering young children and life itself. This book is a calming breath (after breath after breath) of fresh air; Maezen Miller reminds us of the great gifts we have in mothering and leaves us feeling nourished with her humor, love and wisdom.
