"Face it, we're out of control. We are a world dominated by faxing, phoning and whining. Everything's a chore, even for over-achieving, overly scheduled, stressed-out kids. Loretta helps get us unstuck and guides us back in time to rediscover extended family and friends, non-microwave food, the joy of singing, clothing that makes sense, and our homes as sanctuaries not satellite work stations. We learn 8 ways of ""lightening our way"" like, finding humor in everyday situations; learning how to stop ""to-doing"" and start ""ta-dahing,"" learning how to walk lightly; and ""finding the bless in the mess.
