Watching her mother slowly succumb to dementia, Brigid Elsken Galloway felt the first pangs of loss - and that was only the beginning. Within two years, both of her aged parents passed away, her job as an editor for Time was eliminated, and she faced divorce after 14 years of marriage. At age 47, she found herself starting life over with an 8-year-old son in tow. In "The Nature of Things" Galloway shares 24 stories that chronicle her journey from fear to faith. With humor and wit, she recounts the pivotal moments that illuminated her spiritual path. Weaving together principles from her Catholic upbringing with Buddhist mindfulness and meditation practices, Galloway bridges the gap between philosophies to reveal universal truths that lead to serenity with everyday life. "Being able to transform life's losses into moments of laughter, presence and appreciation is a gift," Galloway says. "It's my desire to share that gift with others who are struggling to accept life on life's terms."
