I couldn't write. I just was undone by and also exhausted and I had, I just had nothing to give. I didn't have any juice.

And it was sort of a progression of once I finished writing about Ben Demise, I then started writing about my childhood. And what is it's a spiritual memoir that's called Finding Magic.

I write in my book finding magic about this book that I read which I loved and it's called A Religion of One's Own.

my book is divided into three sections the first one is magic the second one is mystery and the third is meaning and it was you know that I grew up sort of believing in that believing in magic mystery is when I started feeling you know I was looking for for what it was trying to figure it out and meaning is when I realized that I had found meaning in my life and and that was meaning that was caretaking and love.

This new book is a spiritual memoir where Sally Quinn discussed her transformation from being an atheist and detailed stories from her life that had spiritual or illuminating significance. She mentioned that she struggled to write the prologue and epilogue until after her husband's death, at which point she realized the book was about finding meaning in life through caregiving and love.

She's also got her own, I would say brand of meditation... And also about her transformation, as I said from a self-described atheist into something else. She broadly describes that something else as magic which she talks about at length in her new book, Finding Magic, a spiritual memoir which is just out.

I mean it is called Finding Magic and it's really about what's the meaning of life.

And the idea is that I took just stories from my life all the way through my life that had some significance, that had some sort of epiphany or something that was illuminating or something that was spiritual or sacred that happened to me, that sort of was throughout the spiritual experience that I had all this time thinking I was an atheist.

I write in my book finding magic about this book that I read which I loved and it's called A Religion of One's Own.

My book is divided into three sections the first one is magic the second one is mystery and the third is meaning and it was you know that I grew up sort of believing in that believing in magic mystery is when I started feeling you know I was looking for for what it was trying to figure it out and meaning is when I realized that I had found meaning in my life and and that was meaning that was caretaking and love.
