What would you like participants to know about your family?

I’ve been married to my husband, Robert, for over twenty years. We have five adult children, thirteen wonderful grandchildren, and a beloved dog. My parents, now in their nineties, are still going strong and inspiring us all. Most of my family lives within just a few miles of me, filling my life with joy and blessings!

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

I love spending time with my grandchildren, hiking and biking through the forest preserves, enjoying breakfast dates with my husband, and thrift shopping with my daughters. Fun fact: I’ve even jumped out of a plane — solo!

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

I want to offer Access participants the opportunity to deepen their intimacy with God by engaging in ancient spiritual practices, equipping them with practical tools they can carry forward and use as the Lord leads.

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. Taking a walk — sometimes with my dog — creates the quiet space I need to listen for the Divine.
