"Liturgy" can mean not only a written order of worship, but also "a way of meeting God." The author's own path, her walk of faith, (with support from family and friends,) has led to the concept of Easy Walks. In the past nearly thirty years she has found ways to thrive and heal in the face of chronic illness and partial paralysis, the focus of this memoir. You will find here a varied collection of short essays written over twenty years. They have been an important tool in helping the author make peace with her experiences and offer encouragement to others facing changed life circumstances.Easy Walks is a theme the author has developed over the past ten years, resulting in her other Easy Walks books, written to offer information, encouragement, and hope for those with mobility impairments, visual impairments, increasing age, special needs, and parents or grandparents with young children.Emotional, physical and spiritual struggles are all part of living with chronic illness, out of the mainstream. Adjusting to changed life circumstances can be difficult, isolating, and lonely. Through stories, the author shares her own struggles, ponderings, and triumphs as she has worked (and continues to strive) toward finding healing in its many manifestations.
