According to the NY Times Sunday styles section, there's a new, booming business in sexy, young female spiritual counselors, coaches and "gurus," many of whom have read "hundreds of self-help books" (no, I am not making this up. Neither is Dave Barry.) They are making oodles of money on support groups/meditation sessions/private counseling practices that serve the "Sex And The City Set."  Women in their 20s and 30s who are all angsty about relationships, jobs and what age is the right age for botox and babies (in which order?) can get all the answers, plus herbal tea and organic moisturizer, from gorgeous gals just a few years older than themselves, who have acquired the Wisdom of the Ages in between mani-pedis and trips to the Union Square Farmer's Market. I want in!

Of course, I'm a bit too old. None of the women in the NY Times article were over 40. But I do still look 30-ish, so maybe that's not a disqualification. Especially since I can tell 'em that I've never had either a botox or a baby and, so far, I'm fine without...

Also, I've only read about half a dozen self-help books in my life. I actually decided (unhip as the method might seem) that going to seminary was the way to acquire more spiritual knowledge and insight. That and, like, actually praying and serving in church and stuff.

But there must be a few pieces of this pie left. Can a still-pretty-hot 40-something Bohemian Interfaith Minister/Indie Priest get in on the action? I guess you gotta have a gimmick; a way to market yourself. I'm open to suggestions...
