Listening

What is spiritual direction? An attentive, witnessed space where you can learn to live more wholeheartedly no matter what circumstances bring…

Telling

Audio essays from the rural valley where I live, because small stories deserve to be told well.

About Me

I have some credentials (an M.A. in English Literature, Certification in Spiritual Direction, and an M.F.A. in Creative Nonfiction), but almost everything I know I learned through stories: Bible stories, works of literature, family stories, journalism, stories of friends and neighbors and saints. I suspect that every little, seemingly ordinary story is a fractal, a miniature replica of the saga of God’s pursuit of us and our pursuit of God.

Because God’s story matters, every other story is worth listening to.

I am an Associate of the Episcopal Order of Julian of Norwich, a contemplative Benedictine monastic community. I live and listen and write in a rural mountain valley in Colorado with my husband and our dog.
