Spiritual Business - what is that?

BookTravelex Day 3 - It's a windy morning at Manly Beach. The newspapers & umbrella's are blowing away at the Coffee shop. My children are 'whinging' as they have not slept at all because Mummy had to do a workshop yesterday afternoon. Daddi likes to take them out and about and by the time I came home they had fallen asleep as two statues on the couch, sitting half upright supported in the pillows. So today I have to live with the residue of being a Creative Mum. I wonder what a Spiritual Business is all about?
The book for Swap today is called 'Spiritual Business' - Creating a business from the heart by Author Kate Foster. One saying is 'people write about or teach about what they most have to learn themselves'. The book is filled with the most amazing painting collages and is a pleasure for the visual eye. I'm not sure about the writing as for me it' seems an endless stream of not too much structured thoughts. It reads more like a personal dairy than a guide to set up a 'Business from the Heart'. It looks to me that at the end of the book the Author is still searching and has not found the core at all. The book also came forth of a 12 month experiment, a BLOG!! It reads like a blog..a personal exploration of an idea not captured yet.
Maybe it's because I've always followed my heart in creating a business. Maybe it's something which comes naturally to me. As for me there is not other way in life then from the heart. But for anyone out there who loves to explore where his or her heart is in the business this is a great and visual very attractive book. For me the core of a spiritual business is centered around the family unit. Businesses in general still have to evolve a lot on this level. If Business goes before a sick child what have we come to in this world? My children are the center of my universe and my life and 'business' is built around that. I look at my children's happy faces as they pounder over the book. They whinge, smile and run around and I know how many mums and dads have to miss out on this. And I wonder about who is really creating a business from the heart? You missed me again!! Try again tomorrow -same place -same time Cafe Cruz 9 am. I got lot's more books to share with you and hopefully finally to SWAP!
