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......
