The ordinary moments of life can be sacred, if we simply take a moment to notice. This collection of prayers, poems, and meditations offers a brief respite from the hectic, harried pace of our days. Listen to this book when the spirit moves you or when the spirit feels distant—the words will be here to inspire, calm, and encourage you either way.

From gifted poet and empathetic pastor Meta Herrick Carlson, Ordinary Blessings collects blessings for loving yourself, enduring hard things, authenticity, living with others, and the rhythms of each day. Pause, take a deep breath, and press "play" to find that you've been standing on holy ground all along.

Meta Herrick Carlson is a pastor and writer passionate about building connections and courage in liminal spaces.

She's a cocreator of the podcast Alter Guild and author of Ordinary Blessings: Prayers, Poems, and Meditations for Everyday Life.
