Meet n' Greet

Talk about Exciting News! I'm now officially a member of the RevGalPal Blogging community (that's their icon over there in the left column - please visit the many wonderful blogs you will find there)...What an Honor...now I feel like I should be saying something rather profound.....hmmm.....my mind's a blank at the moment...how about Thank You!

So here's a little background info for those of you who don't know me...I live in Sequim (pronounced Squim) with my husband of many many years. We have 4 adult kids and 6 grandkids...over 2 years ago I started sending daily quotes out to a few friends by email..what started as a wee bit of daily encouragement grew and grew until I decided perhaps it was time to blog them (though I still do email them too).....So here you will find lots of quotes and a few thoughts and the occasional rant thrown in.

Spiritually, I began my faith journey in the Roman Catholic Church, then in my 20's journeyed over to the Evangelical Church and after 20 years felt a call away from there to a desert experience.....dry, dusty, and dull at times but eventually God brought me, in a very circuitous route, to St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Port Townsend, Washington.....otherwise known as My Spiritual Home...I'm a practicing Spiritual Director and Counselor, and I'm a newbie in this strange thing they call "the discernment process".

As for the Leprechaun part.....I was born in Belfast, N. Ireland, my family emigrated to the U.S.A. when I was 2.....and back when my kids were in school I would dress up as the Giant Leprechaun on St. Patrick's Day and visit their schools (which they found very embarassing), local businesses and nursing homes. Nowadays I still dress up on March 17th, passing out chocolate gold coins to those who are wearing green. So far I have not been arrested or taken away by men wearing white coats......

Well hello Roberta! So nice to meet you. Thanks for taking the time to comment on my blog and for being a regular visitor. It's funny how many people come by that we know nothing about. I just had to come visit you here to say hello. I also started my faith journey late and landed in the Episcopal Church, which I dearly love. Good luck and blessings on your discernment process.

Welcome! I love Port Townsend and am originally from Bellingham. In fact, I got married in St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Bellingham. However, I live in south Texas now.
