Barbara Mahany joins me this week on the podcast. A pediatric oncology nurse turned columnist for The Chicago Tribune turned author, Mahany is a delightful guest full of stories to entertain, challenge, and sometimes stop you in your tracks. I think you’ll enjoy our conversation as we touch on her books Motherprayer and The Stillness... The post Barbara Mahany-episode 271 appeared first on Anita Lustrea.

Barbara Mahany spent nearly three decades as a reporter and writer at the Chicago Tribune. She is now a freelance journalist and author of four collections of essays. Her first, Slowing Time: Seeing the Sacred Outside Your Kitchen Door, has been called “balm for the hurried heart,” and “a field guide into your holiest hours.” Her second book, Motherprayer: Lessons in Loving, explores the sacred mysteries of mothering—its sorrows, joys, trembles, hallelujahs, and the tumble of questions without answers.Her latest, which debuted earlier this autumn, The Stillness of Winter: Sacred Blessings of the Season, is a "gift book," which basically means a pretty little book you might delight in holding in your hand, or tucking in your pocket, or slipping onto your bedside table. It's a lovely, fetchingly-compact tome and we have done just that with it in Bellingham and Laguna Beach, respectively. A pediatric oncology nurse before taking up journalism, Barb ever is been drawn to deeply human stories, where she has displayed a nurse’s knack for tapping into the hearts of those whose story she is telling. She counts among her life’s treasures the hundreds of letters she’s received from readers who tell her they’ve clipped one of her stories and tucked it in a wallet, a bedroom drawer, or slipped it in a plastic sleeve and carried it wherever they’ve gone. One such fellow, the Pigeon Man of Lincoln Square, who was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver one cold December’s eve, died clutching a laminated copy of the story she had written about him three years earlier. Barb still writes regularly on her longtime blog, Pull Up A Chair. We suggest you do.Website: BarbaraMahany.comInstagram: @barbara.ann.mahanyTwitter: @BarbaraMahany

In our last regular episode of Season 1, Barbara Mahany joins us to discuss motherhood as spiritual practice. Barbara is the author of several books, including Motherprayer, and she explores in her writing how parenting is an invitation into a holy curriculum. As she says, "no other spiritual practice could compel me in this way. Motherhood is so raw, real, and uncharted." We talk about what we have learned through our mothering, and how writing about our lives as mothers has helped us to open up to the holy potential of this role.SHOW NOTESBarbara’s blog, Pull Up A ChairMotherprayerBlessings of MotherprayerThe Chicago Interfaith Family School

I do remember moments of mothering. Big moments. You know – births, first days of school, when they were old enough to stay home alone…things like this. Barbara Mahany remembers the big moments and lucky for us, recorded the small moments. Barbara artistically weaves these memories into a nest of her own snippets, sharing her […]
