What a timely article! Synchronicity strikes again. The idea of a spiritual memoir has been sniffing around my consciousness for a while now. Funny that I often get titles for books long before I ever write them. Sometimes the titles evolve; sometimes they are set in stone and patiently await the content to come. So just a few days ago, I wrote down my possible title for a spiritual memoir -- This Shit Really Works: My Year of Living Mystically. (Ha!)
So thanks for this encouragement. I will explore and contemplate your offer. And perhaps this idea will quit lurking outside the door and come on in. We'll see.
I love it! (I too have often come up with working titles in advance, that get softened or discarded as the book is being written...'Note to self: Wake the fuck up!' got deservedly tweaked beyond recognition, although the underlying sentiment behind Fricken Map is essentially the same. LOL.) In your case, I think this title works exactly as is. :-)
