I can’t believe I am doing this ….

As I mentioned in the intro to the website, I am at a time of change in my life.   I find myself in the first few months of retirement.  For the record, I am thrilled – BUT, I am not ready to retire, therefore 2017 is  sabbatical year!

So I begin this blog.  I attempted something similar to this several years ago, however life and career had far too many distractions that prevented me from doing so effectively.

As we get going on this I will share different thoughts and reflections.  It will be about life and faith – in my mind they are one in the same.  A few different people have asked and some cases told me that I should be writing to share my memoirs, homilies, provide views and stories as I see life.  What is so funny and intimidating about this is that I do not like to write – why, because I don’t think I do it well.  This is because for much of my life I have been told or criticized about my writing ability.  So, I will face this challenge head on.

This past winter I attended a couple information sessions at the library about writing.  These were information sessions rather than on the technical aspects of writing.  It became clear to me that there is not a one or only way to write.  Writing, I have discovered, is as different as the person.

So we begin, really not sure how often I will post etc.  My plan is to post at least weekly.  Please also check out the other sections of the website for updates –   Links, Homilies (starting in October), About Me, and The Camino.  Please note and check the Camino section during August / September as I attempt to walk the Camino – Frances.

Finally, please note the Prayer Request section of the site.  I am a strong believer in the power of prayer.  I welcome you to join with me in prayer as we all continue our pilgrimage of life.
