Location Ipswich, Queensland, Australia
Introduction I am a mother, sister, daughter, friend, aunt, minister, pianist, dreamer...I have walked a privileged and yet also at times painful life journey that has taken me to many places I would never have dreamed of going - not that I'm an international traveller, but rather a far-reaching traveller into the lives of people who have welcomed me into life moments of deep intimacy and intensity. It is because of this unexpected journey that I have come to know many yearnings of the soul, that so often are incongruent with what we believe and profess, and that consequently cause us to question our very existence on earth, and our sense of where God is in the world... This space is where I want to wrestle with these questions - and yearn for hope...
Interests My three beautiful daughters, music, creativity, inspiring films and television, fascinating paths and walkways, musical theatre, novels about people and what motivates them, the ocean, creek beds and rain forests, making something new out of something old or discarded, time with friends and family, quaint cafés and bookstores and art nooks....
