About Me I am a fourty-four year old Junior in a University B.A. Sociology program, hoping to become a social worker. Living in the Light I have been given, I am walking a Christian spiritual path that includes Quaker (Friends) meetings, membership on the Peace and Social Concerns commitee, daily contemplative prayer and meditation. I have always been a seeker, always full of questions. My life is a wonderful and mystic Journey.

My Philosophy Be patterns, be examples in all countries, places, islands, nations wherever you come; that your carriage and life may preach among all sorts of people, and to them; then you will come to walk cheerfully over the world, answering that of God in everyone; whereby in them you may be a blessing, and make the witness of God in them to bless you.
What Gives Me Hope The Religious Society of Friends, The Way of Jesus Christ, There is a goodness in this world that will not die, Family, Friends, Love,
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
What/who changed my life and why Experiencing the peace that goes beyond any understanding, and I will never be the same again!

What Scares Me War - Cruelty - Greed - Indifference, war, Violent people, Shootings in Our Schools, moral direction of our society, Is how cruel the people of the world are, Ignorance and evil, hate, Disrespect for others, cruel people, Criminals that are young and violent, apathy  
  Favorites
Role Models grandmother, Jesus Christ, Rufus Jones, William Penn, George Fox  
Quotation And so I find it well to come
For deeper rest to this still room,
For here the habit of the soul
Feels less the outer world's control;
The strength of mutual purpose pleads
More earnestly our common needs;
And from the silence multiplied
By these still forms on either side,
The world that time and sense have known
Falls off and leaves us God alone.
~John Greenleaf Whittier~
