Location: Pueblo West, Colorado, United States

Born in Michigan. Moved to Colorado 37 years ago. Married 37 years. We are empty-nesters save for our elderly black cat, Carolina (who, because of her vampire fangs, is sometimes referred to as the mistress of darkness). I have a certificate in Spiritual Direction from Benet Hill Monastery in Colo. Springs and a Masters Degree in Pastoral Studies from Loyola University. Working full-time as an accounting clerk takes most of my time but I volunteer as a choir member in my parish and do some spiritual direction. I have served on RCIA teams, taught workshops, given retreats and facilitated various JustFaith programs. I am an Oblate of the Benedictine Sisters of Chicago, St Scholastica Monastery. I have completed a course to increase my skills as an End of Life Doula, which I see as an extension of my spiritual direction practice. Holding space for people as they pass is the most life-affirming ministry I have ever been involved in. I look forward to doing more of it after I retire.
