Funny, my re-entrance into a more organized religion (born and raised a holy-day-only Catholic, now I attend weekly Methodist services) seems to FIT into all of the other self-improvement and introspection endeavours that I have been doing since the bomb.

I have thrown everything I could think of at this "challenge" in my life.
IC. Reading anything in print from self-help books to published research in scientific journals. STBT. DBT. AlAnon. Self-esteem group. Divorce Support group. AlAnon. Raja meditation. Women's spirituality book club.

I take what I need and leave the rest. But I am surprised that there is little that doesn't fit together, or lead to the same insights.
