Finding Bliss in a Chaotic World
Achieving Zen or Strategies for Acquiring Calm in the Storm of Everyday Life
Jeanne Roppolo gave a delightful, interactive presentation for her new book Finding Bliss in a Chaotic World at the Starved Rock Country Welcome Center. She brought her life experiences, presenting them as they were unfolding and leading her into her future. In animated fashion...including her attire...she drew you in and we all became part of it. If we sat too quiet, she would pull another question out to challenge us with. She wanted us to reflect on our journey alongside hers.
I read the book and found its simplicity with an easy-to-read style, brought a way to easily see myself in it. You won't want to put it down. It was refreshing to have someone be so transparent with their life journey that it became an enjoyable book. I would say that as you read it you might come to moments when you think...I thought that way...or I wish I would have thought that way...then maybe my life could be different.
Debbie Krizel, Welcome Center Manager
