Just the Forward has enough in it to really get my brain whirling.  She  starts off by declaring she wants to write a book that would show her how to  &#8220;reconcile my deepest spiritual, authentic, and creative longings with  often-overwheling and conflicting commiments.&#8221;  Boy does that ever hit the  nail on the head.  She goes on to say she knows she is not the only woman  &#8220;frazzled, depressed, worn to a raveling.&#8221;  Wow.  Does  that describe me or what?  Just like Sarah, I would like so much &#8211;  money, recognition, etc&#8230;  but like her, I have no clue what the answers  are&#8230; hell.. I don&#8217;t even know the questions!  *S*  I&#8217;m definalty a  workaholic, careaholic, and even a perfectionist (that&#8217;s what drove me to join  FLYlady!)&#8230;.  <\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"Century Gothic\">Sarah has a  great quote to open the book&#8230;  The quote is by Margaret Young, and  paraphrased, it says that most people do jobs they hate, to make lots of money  to buy lots of stuff tot ry to make themselves happy.  Margaret goes on to  say that this is just the opposite of what we ought to be doing.  We ought  to first figure out who we truly are, then do what we need to do to have what we  truly want.  <\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"Century Gothic\">Lots to  consider.  But reality intrudes upon my deepest thoughts.
