I was born to be a peacemaker. I personally understand that world peace begins in the individual heart and ripples outward. It is my intention to be loving peace as I live every moment with a peaceful heart.

I have primarily learned to live peace through a daily spiritual practice of connectedness. The ability to connect to Divine Essence invites the emergence of authentic expression. I believe that every connected human can emerge as a powerful force in the world. Part of this process involves individuals willing to balance and express inherent divine feminine and divine masculine energies. When feminine qualities are accepted with equal measure, humanity will feed all the hungry peoples of the world, encourage self-responsibility, and live in harmony with each other and this precious planet.

Currently, after retiring from thirty plus years as a healthcare professional, I am honored to serve as a Minister of Peace ordained by The Beloved Community.

It is a true joy to help coordinate and conduct The Art of Spiritual Peacemaking Sacred Circles.

In July, 2007 I completed a PhD in Philosophy focused on Intercultural Peacemaking. I feel prepared to assist others who wish to successfully pass the baton on to future generations who will require peaceful conflict resolution on the planet.

Beloved Community Alabama was founded in 2006 as a non profit vehicle that supports experiential education and intercultural peace efforts. The experiential aspects are multi-faceted and usually involve groups meeting in a facilitated and focused circle.

I currently serve as co-director with Reverend David Leonard with Essential Self Ministries. Our work involves experiential New Thought training for those ready to offer unique individual service to the world through authentic Essential Self connectedness.

I serve a variety of peacemaking roles in the facilitation of both international and local interfaith and intercultural dialogue. I am also honored to serve as a board member for the International Institute for Global Leadership http://www.global-leadership.com/. IIGL is a tuition-free, internet-based education program which provides a curriculum in consciousness designed to prepare students to become personally empowered, consciously aware, high-integrity and heart-centered leaders in their communities and the world. The study program is open to participants of any age and from anywhere in the world.

I also enjoy serving the ministry of the moment for contemporary needs. In this era where many people desire to take 100% responsibility for their life experience, I often work collaboratively to develop customized ceremonies for special events/occasions. Life Partnering, Celebrations of Life/Memorials, Home Blessings, and New Baby Dedications are examples of significant rites of passage that can be enhanced by the personal touch.

It is my honor to serve our local community through events such as the World Day of Peace, Heart to Heart Hometown Pilgrimage, and Peace Pole Dedications as pictured below.

For my own spiritual nourishment, I enjoy reading both contemporary and ancient spiritual writings. A true passion is claiming the experiential process of spiritual pilgrimage. This is enjoyable both in solitary silence and with boisterous groups traveling internationally. I gain understanding and acceptance of other traditions, cultures, customs and rituals through first hand experience. The resulting insights strengthen my ability to heal and release previously hidden personal prejudices. Subsequently, I am able to effectively assist others accordingly.

A more minor role of my personal ministry allows excursions into the joyful world of LuvBucket the Clown as an alter ego. LuvBucket and I have written a story called Little Buckets Full of Big Love which is currently available from most major online booksellers.
