“Wendy Horwitz’s keen insights and gentle wisdom reveal the transformative power of rituals to enrich our everyday experiences, infusing purpose and reverence into our lives. A profound and illuminating read for anyone seeking deeper meaning in their daily journey.

- Lori Erickson, author of Every Step Is Home: A Spiritual Geography from Appalachia to Alaska

“A testament to the power of ritual written with tenderness and charm.”

- Casper ter Kuile, author of The Power of Ritual: Turning Every Activities into Soulful Practices

“Reading this lovely, lyrical book during the holidays, I found myself moved by Wendy Horwitz's tales of finding meaning even in those rituals that may have once seemed old-fashioned, stale, or gratuitous. For as she reminds us, it is often through ritual, through attentive, careful practice, religious and otherwise, that we can catch glimpses of the transcendent and thereby renew our sense of wonder at, and gratitude for, the world's too often unseen bounty -a real delight.”

- Mark Freeman, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, College of the Holy Cross
