As I have grown to seek and find deeper levels of my own story, I find I am also passionate about reading and nurturing other women's stories. Since 2001 I have been a SCN member, have led my internet writing circle 7 for six years, and have been editor of Story Circle Journal's "True Words From Real Women" for five years. I have found so many different ways to express my soul's longings in SCN. Writing book reviews is yet another way for I can both deepen and share my experience with a book that has been particularly meaningful to me.

My other loves are my son and his wife, Chip and Katy, my daughters Polly and Susan, and my treasured friend John. I am retiring from my human services career now and am so excited to segue right into my next already-established career: more writing, editing, and time to read and review more books. I also love vegetable, fruit, and flower gardening, cooking, sewing, quilting, knitting, and more. And my cats Hilary and Button.
