So my foray into nonficiton this week was Sarah Ban Breathnach’s recent book Moving On. You may remember her from her bazillion copy seller, Simple Abundance (which changed many, many things in my life for good, by the way). This book was not what I expected. I thought I was going to get something organized more along the lines of SA, you know a daily meditation or action kind of thing to help me reduce the clutter in my house. It was nothing like that and on one hand, I think it’s pretty poorly organized. On the other, I found it an enticing read and parts of it spoke to me very clearly. I’m glad I read it and I think it will definitely have an impact on us as we finally finish getting rid of the clutter that accumulated when we had to move things from my mother-in-law’s house into ours (over a year ago!). I feel inspired and have found a few important things to really think about and give attention to. SBB and I have traveled similar roads over the last ten years (me without the bazillion copy selling book, but still similar in many ways) and so the book was good for me in a spiritual way. All I can really say is read it if you want to but don’t think it’s a must read just because you may have liked Simple Abundance. They’re not really the same.
