Writing will always be at the heart of me and is my focus. Through my experiences publishing my own books and helping numerous authors publish books of their own, I  pass on what I have learned along with providing tools of the trade and how-to instructions.

Technology can seem overwhelming at first if you don’t have someone showing you the way. Whether you are a writer looking to publish online or are looking to expand your technology reach, I can present on these topics:

  • Book Layout Requirements

What I love most about Quakerism is the emphasis on the questions. As I started my journey with the Quakers back in 2007 working on projects across the spectrum of Friends, I have spoken to a vast variety of Friends around the world on a lot of different topics. Quaker topics specifically have included:

  • Working Together in Diversity
  • The Diversity of Friends
  • Spirit Rising: Young Quaker Voices

As a woman married to a woman, I have heard many of the comments and felt the rejection common among people in the LGBTQ+ community. I have also seen the incredible beauty of this community and loving acceptance. For those who can, I believe it is important to share such experiences and the power of our stories whether through panels, presentations, or workshops where people are invited to share stories of their own.

Everyone is on their own spiritual journey and I share from the heart while respecting everyone else’s experiences. Formats can include workshops, panels, and speaking at a church. I am happy to tailor a talk to your needs, simply contact me so we can discuss it. Topics I have spoken on before include:

  • Exploring the Questions
  • Spirituality as a Journey
  • Images of God
  • Dark Night of the Soul
  • Mysticism
  • Women in Ministry
  • Youth in Ministry
  • Mentoring Young Adults
