I’m a Baby Boomer. I took theology in college when TIME’s cover read, “Is God Dead?” My spiritual journey revived in my forties and uplifted me to greater intimacy with God in my early seventies. I now bring believers refreshing understanding and enthusiasm—based on my writing, healing ministry, podcast, as well as coaching and spiritual direction training—empowering others toward Spirit-led transformation and Radiant Joy.
In my 40s and 50s, I tried to do it all. I strove to be a great mom, Brownie leader, swim team treasurer, church volunteer, wife, and daughter while practicing law and seeking both spiritual truth and worldly approval . . . often burning out and getting overwhelmed. Taking up quiltmaking brought me closer to God. In teaching Spirituality of Quilting classes and in my book, “Reap As You Sew: Spirit at Work in Quiltmaking,” I shared stories showing how creativity and spirituality work together. Workbook sections demonstrate how America's 20 million quilters and other creatives can benefit from that spiritual-creativity connection.
My quilts have won numerous awards and netted thousands of dollars for charity. But my passion now is helping Christian women in the second half of life become their genuine selves and bear good fruit! I’m a Benedictine-trained Spiritual Director, and I believe that every woman can become the unique Godly woman she was created to be through inner work that heals!
I train and lead a team in Unbound Ministry, which puts on Freedom in Christ conferences, helping men and women find freedom from whatever holds them back. I minister to individuals, leading them with Jesus and the Holy Spirit to forgive effectively, break unhealthy habits, recognize and cast out lies and unclean spirits, and embrace the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
I have a blog and a podcast (From 'Pretty Good' to RADIANT JOY), and I’m writing two new books to help women be transformed and empowered to live life to the fullest. As I see it, the first 25 years of life prepare us for the next 25, but most women in the second half are living a life for which they were unprepared. I love helping Catholics and other Christians explore the blessings, surprises, and challenges of life over 50, equipping them to have more clarity and inner peace and to radiate joy, purpose, and vibrancy at any age.
