I completed the Siloam program at Heart of Life in 2011 and have been feeling the reverberations of it ever since and feel very privileged to have been through it. I know how valued Spiritual Direction has been in my life and I desire to “hold well” and companion others as I have been. Family life is important to me in all the ups and downs and shapes and forms it takes. I have a background in teaching and I still work in schools with sacramental preparation with the Presentation Family Project. My husband and I recently downsized and the parish we moved into is much bigger and vibrant than I was used to so that I am now enjoying being part of many goings on at the parish level.
Favourite scripture: John10:10 I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
Favourite books: More like my favourite genre – epic fantasy (eg Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter). In the area of spirituality I enjoy reading from authors like Richard Rohr, Joan Chittester, Ron Rolheiser, and too many others to mention.
Favourite movie: I love so many… including the golden oldies. The Sound of Music
Memorable moment: Holding my newly arrived and long-awaited niece just as I turned 50 years old and aunt for the first time.
