My blog will focus on the exploration and integration of spiritual life and creativity. It will almost certainly develop organically - one thing leading to another. If there are interesting tangents along the way, so much the better! I expect that most of my readers will be people who are interested in the life of faith and the ways they find to creatively express their faith. My general rule of life is 10% seriousness, 90% fun. This rule will be operative

Just a brief introduction as I get started. My husband, Dick, and I live in Bellingham, WA. Our three children are all married and have children of their own. I’ve also adopted another family with two children. All these kids are a great blessing in our lives. My life tends to revolve around my family.

I work as a spiritual director. Did you just say, “A what?” Spiritual directors are trained to listen. When I meet with a client (we call them “directees”) I listen to their stories and help them notice and examine in detail God’s activity in their life. This is exceptionally satisfying work! I will never tell stories from my work here! However, I am always studying and paying attention to spiritual life and formation. My thoughts on both will be given exercise here.

I am also a painter. My latest project is painting canvas floorcloths. This work will show up often in this blog. I anticipate working out my ideas here.

Watch for updates weekly.

Grace and Peace to you!
