This Pope is obviously very progressive, and I think you have a compelling perspective he should consider. The impact would be significant if he not only lifted any restrictions but even endorsed the use of birth control in family planning.

I came to a screeching halt when the author talked about how our socks should NEVER be balled up because they need time to rest and relax in the sock drawer. However, after hearing your point-of-view which I always honor, I'm going to continue reading and will do the exercises based on your rave review. You've already led me to the land of Me-Mapping which includes de-cluttering, so this is just the next natural phase. Can't wait to report the joy it sparks as I thank my clothes/books/stuff and bid them adieu!
