Pat Hoglund's stories illuminate the ordinary. They reveal the humor, paradox and heart at the core of humanity. Deep realization arises out of what appears to be ordinary situations. She vividly captures those unexpected moments of awakening. Pat's work is grounded in her experience as a mother, wife, and businesswoman. You recognize the voice of a wise heart. Her writing and storytelling are antidotes to the overly idealized or mental approaches to spirituality. She evokes compassionate laughter as we recognize parallels for our own life and to ourselves. Pat reminds us that soul is not an abstraction, but what awaits us beneath the projections of judgment and expectation.-Atum O'Kane | Have I Got a Story for You by Patricia Hoglund, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
