It’s a mystery that I live
on
and a blessing that I
do
for in this mysterious blessed state I
am
for no good reason at all my
self

About Me
- I am an Episcopal priest, retired, author of "Spiritual Lemons", "The God Between Us," and a memoir, published in 2016: God Is Not A Boy's Name: Becoming Woman, Becoming Priest. In retirement I continue to write and publish. I have seven vocations and counting: survivor, overachiever, mother and grandmother of blended family of 7 children and 12 grandchildren, recovering codependent, pastoral counselor/spiritual director, author, and, yes, little old lady with chutzpah. INFJ type. #5 Enneagram, which means at best I'm a wise woman and at worst a know-it-all. Education for Ministry mentor/coordinator. 1/4 Jewish. Favorite way to be a priest: preside at an improv eucharist in a small group. Favorite heretical theology: Pelagianism. Favorite spirituality: Celtic spirituality, Ignatian prayer. Current aspiration: to get my passion for non-gendered/inclusive theological language into the mind of the church and its liturgies.

I think of gratitude every day. A good friend of mine has only a few weeks left (scleroderma in her lungs), and has been bumped from the lung transplant list. I'll be reading your column closely over the coming weeks. She's been a good friend.
I'm so sorry Susan. My daughter's good friend, only 42, is dying of lung cancer run wild in spite of all the treatments. It's painful and so damn sad.My sister's husband died of scleroderma in lungs. The air we breathe. Take heart and hope and gentle care. Lyn
