If you’re anything like me finding peace isn’t easy. Yup! I’m a troubled soul as my husband likes to call me. My husband can go to bed at night and fall asleep with no difficulty. Drives me crazy! How can he do this? Me? I fall asleep on the couch. When it’s time for bed […]
Recently I gave a presentation at the Theology of the Body Virtual Conference. During my talk I shared a brief story of a bicycle my parents gave me when I was a little girl. The story resonated with many viewers. Today I want to share with you the full story of how the Lord has […]
Looking for Love in all the Wrong Places On March 14, 2020 I was honored to lead a Lenten women’s retreat. Women from across the Vancouver and the Lower Mainland gathered to reflect on the beautiful gospel reading about the Woman at the Well.

It’s late Friday night and the wait has been long and worrisome. We’ve been at the hospital since 4:00 pm waiting to see a doctor. Earlier in the day mom was packing dishes when she experienced a rushing pain in her head. She immediately felt faint and nauseous. She sat on her kitchen chair and […]
