I have been at CU for l3 years, formerly with the Collaborative Ministry Office working with faculty and staff.  Since I moved West on campus 2 years ago, I have also been working with OT and PT students. 

I have been a laywoman, church minister, since l973, first with the Movement for a Better World, giving Ignatian retreats.  From there I worked in Retreat Houses and for several U.S. dioceses.  My background includes spiritual direction, retreats, community building.  I love to be with folks.  For fun, I enjoy all kinds of sports, participating and watching, the great outdoors, reading, art, writing poetry, being with my friends and family...not necessarily in that order!  My saintly mentors are Julian of Norwich, Hildegard of Bingen.  I am fascinated with Celtic Spirituality. 
 

As I said, I enjoy being with folks.  These reflections are a way of being Present to others as we try to live lives of loving kindness.
