Fab 5 on Friday

I’ve been so overwhelmed with presidential duties at church, writing and publishing serious posts, working my day job, and trying to sell my house that I feel like I’ve forgotten how to have plain old fun.

What? Fun and spirituality together? Why yes! Spirituality doesn’t have to be all pious and pontificating. It is the activity of expressing Spirit. Sometimes that doesn’t involve sitting and meditating. Gasp! Sometimes it’s enjoying some of life’s guilty pleasures.

My number one guilty pleasure is chick lit. Romantic fiction that’s written in the girl is unhappy with life, girl wants boy, girl finds herself, girl gets boy style. I love it!

So, let’s take a break today from some of the more serious forms of spirituality and talk about some of the things that warm your heart, but that you might not think fall under the “personal development” umbrella.

I’ll give you another one: anything Beyonce :-)

What are your guilty pleasures?

In Spirit,
Nneka

Happy Friday and welcome to the fabulous 5 in the blogosphere!
