What would you like participants to know about your family?

I have been married almost 20 years to my husband, Robert, who is an Emeritus professor at Wheaton College. I have five adult children, eleven grandchildren and a dog. Both my parents are alive at 87 and 89 years young and live near me, as do 9 of my grandchildren and 3 of my children. I am truly blessed!

What are your hobbies? What is a fun fact you would like the participants to know about you?

I adore hanging out with my grandchildren, hiking and biking through the forest preserves, having breakfast with my husband, and thrift shopping with my daughters. Fun fact: My 5th great uncle was Daniel Boone!

What do you hope participants will take away from your session(s)?

I want to give Access participants the opportunity to develop intimacy with God through the use of ancient spiritual practices so that they can take these practical tools with them to use wherever they go.

What would you like to share with participants about how you connect with the Lord, as an encouragement to them?

My go-to spiritual practice is slowing down, by taking a walk with the Trinity.
