Noticing

Books

I've always been a writer. (It's a great activity for introverts.) My professional writing began at The Upper Room -- first as I wrote poems, prayers, and meditations for Alive Now magazine. And then writing a number of books. My latest book, Davida Angelica Roared, started out as a story in Alive Now in the early 90's.

Music
I started singing and playing music when I was in grade school. It's in my bones, thanks to my music-teacher grandmother. These days, I write chants for use personally and in congregations. The chants are available for congregational use through licenses at CCLI and One License.

Photography

Photography has always been a passion for me, and I continue to explore and experiment with it as a form of meditation. There is nothing more fulfilling than appreciating the wonders of this world by capturing them with a lens.

Retreat Leadership

I am a retreat leader and a crafter of liturgy. I have served for a number of years as worship leader for The Academy for Spiritual Formation from Upper Room Ministries. My favorite retreat topics are SoulCollage®, Celtic spirituality, music, and liturgy.

Spiritual Direction

I am a United Methodist minister and a graduate of the Haden Institute for Spiritual Direction.

If you feel a hunger to enter into this journey of self-care and discovery, please schedule a session with me. I offer a complimentary exploratory session through Zoom or in person (Middle Tennessee). Let me sit with with you in the presence of mystery.

Visual Art

I am an artist who speaks through collage, cartoons, painting, and digital creation. I started my artistic journey by drawing a cartoon on a post-it note each morning. Then I began to create on my iPad. The illustrations in my book, Davida Angelica Roared, are a combination of in-studio painting and mixed media compiled in the Procreate app. You'll find my animated gifs of scotties and purple elephants by searching on "Scottie Dog" and "Elephant."
