1) What kind of car are you driving, and does it shift for you, or do you shift manually? I drive a red Kia Soul! I shift manually… partly because I am a control freak… partly because my commute takes me into a different weather system, and one of my churches is on a twisty road,…
For all of us who are clergy, this is a time of year when things pile on things. Events, emotions, eating! I am guilty for eating at my desk in front of my computer all year long. Today’s Friday Five question: What do you keep in your desk/office for quick snacks or meals? As someone who has…
In the midst of horrible events, the question at RevGals is, how do we as leaders of faith communities, be tender with ourselves as a means of self-care? I have had a rough few weeks… multiple migraines (thank you hurricane season), a thankfully short bout of the flu and then back problems, the launch of…
What has to be part of your summer?
I haven’t played Friday Five in a while; it’s all about burning questions today. 1. What is one habit you do daily, without fail? Brush my teeth. 2. What is the last thing you watched on your television? Blue Jays game last night, they lost. 3. Would you rather have a slice of cake, or a slice…

Over at RevGalBlogPals, it’s a birthday Friday Five. Is there a birthday that stands out as particularly memorable in your life? I dreaded my 40th birthday. I was single after an unexpected marriage breakdown and thought I would be alone for the rest of my life. I was experiencing financial difficulties and my health was…
1. What’s the weather like where you are? 0 Celsius or 32 Farenhheit. Overcast and light snow. 2. What is your dream vacation spot and/or activity? Anywhere next to the water. We enjoyed great week in Cuba last winter, contemplating Newfoundland this summer. 3. What book are you currently reading? (Just pick one. I know how…
Over at RevGals is Friday Five time and this time its all about lists that we make. Personal… professional… seasonal… and at this time of year, they all collide. I used to make separate personal and church lists on paper, although I tried to use the same notebook, but that became unproductive as I never…
Advent Traditions – For many years, I dreamed of a the perfectly decorated home, with presents wrapped under the tree, a perfectly cleaned house and lots of time for baking and soaking up the season. The reality is, I have scaled back my expectations. But here are five that are central to my enjoyment and…
