What Would a Holy Woman Do?

0 comments
Another great Time Out Classics

What started out as an experiment with 6 friends turned into so much more as minds were changed, energy was increased and hearts were softened.

For just 3 days women were asked to take the "holy woman challenge."

They were to choose just ONE activity a day and ask "what would a holy woman do?"

After three days each woman reported her surprising findings...

And at the end of the book there are a couple of journal pages to report your 3 days of being a holy woman.

So how would a holy woman:
start her day
read to a child
exercise
talk
shop
eat
pray
do laundry
clean the house
handle conflict
serve a neighbor
respond to criticism
etc.

Take the challenge :)
