Gender Female
Industry Non-Profit
Occupation Chaplain
Location United States
Introduction I am a chaplain, an artist and a writer. "As I grow into my life," I find I am filled more and more with a deep sense of spirituality and often delight, (which I think are really one and the same). My favorite spiritual teacher, Sister Elaine Herold, always states: "GOD writes straight with crooked lines." I find the meaning of this confusing sentiment never fails to give me an enduring sense of hope...no matter how it shows itself. Most importantly,this Blog is written specifically for YOU...and the FAITH that will surely find you. I promise you that. Bon Voyage, my friends! Allison
