Book Description

Publication Date: November 30, 2011

What is an Extraordinary Life and how do you get to have one? An extraordinary life is one in which you: •Are living your authentic values and life purpose •Find deep meaning in your work •Feel alive and satisfied •Are surrounded by beauty •Are connected to Source •Are at peace For 34 years Anacaria Myrrha has been helping people find their way to this kind of life. Now at last she is sharing her secrets. Anacaria helps you slip beneath your resistance to embrace your innate love of order and beauty, and discover your own purpose and motivation to work. Some people are good at envisioning their extraordinary life but don’t have the structure to support it. Some have a support structure but have not yet dreamed up the vision to pour into it. Anacaria helps both blossom and come to fruition. Wherever you are in your life process, you can find yourself in this book. Although a pioneer in the field, professional organizer is not an accurate term for what she does. As a Purveyor of Practical Magic™, she bridges two worlds – the sacred and the mundane -- and helps you find the underlying issues to be cleared in order to have an extraordinary life – one with a connection to the Divine while keeping its feet firmly on the Earth. With kindness, intelligence, humor and wit, she helps you access the power to create your Extraordinary Life. “Anacaria works with grace and makes what she does seem easy. She is a true artist of order.” --Sue Bender, Author, Everyday Sacred: A Woman’s Journey Home and Plain and Simple: A Woman’s Journey to the Amish “It has been extremely rare for me to experience such a radical, positive impact on the quality of my work life – in both the pragmatic and intuitive realms – in such a short period of time.” Gabriel Kram, Founder, Applied Mindfulness. Inc., Author, Transformation Through Feeling: Awakening the Felt Sensibility and Inner Life Skills for Youth

This review is from: An Invitation to An Extraordinary Life: A Guide to Discovering, Organizing, and Manifesting the Things that Really Matter to You (Paperback)

Having read many other books on personal growth, I'm delighted, fascinated, impressed and amused by the refreshingly innovative approach of Anacaria Myrrha's book. I'm also delighted with her suggestion in the book of allowing oneself a full year for the process of discovering, organizing, and manifesting the things that really matter, when some other writers state, or imply, that a week is sufficient. I look forward with pleasure to accepting the invitation!

I have been privileged to enjoy Anacaria's friendship, collaboration and professional support for more than 20 years through my own evolution as a coach of Natural Order. I could hardly wait to receive my copy of her book. When it arrived, I knew from the first sentence that it was going to be fabulous -- every page a treat to the visual eye and the self-inquiring mind. I have not been disappointed. Quite the opposite: totally delighted.

Of all the spiritually-oriented, personal growth and practical change books I've read (certainly dozens, if not hundreds), few authors' voices have felt as authentically welcoming, calming, reassuring, encouraging -- and connected to the Real Source of personal prosperity and order. Her writing style carries such elegance, clarity and compassion, and it flows so smoothly from one thought to another, like a gentle river or a beautiful piece of music. It floats me along almost effortlessly through the self-discovery process, which I have often found to be painfully confronting, but not this time. Plus, I just love her perceptive spiritual approach to the fundamental pragmatic issues of dealing with the "stuff" of life.

I am especially enjoying reading this book slowly from the start, appreciating each chapter's wisdom and engaging in the practices as they unfold -- totally out of type for me, because I usually gobble up a book quickly first, like a hungry bear, then go back to nibble and ferret out pertinent details. This one, however, deserves to be discovered like a rich piece of perfect New York cheesecake with fresh organic berries -- at a leisurely pace, savoring each delicious bite of multifaceted flavor... Mmmm, so yummy!

If you are someone intent on creating an Extraordinary Life for yourself, the wisdom in this book will infallibly guide you there, with minimum struggle or "effort" and maximum ease. And when you arrive at your destination, you and Anacaria will be good friends, too. Enjoy the journey! Send postcards along the way. Blessings....
