Basic Info| Name: | A Bear in the Appalachian Mountains |
|---|---|
| Birthdate: | 02-23 |
| Location: | Appalachian Mountains, Virginia, United States |
| Website: | Books and Stitches |
BioI am an avid reader, prolific writer, quilter, counted cross-stitcher, grief therapist and pastoral counselor. I am an INFJ. I am an ordained WOMAN pastor (a Reverend Doctor if you will ) but not your typical "pastor" type at all, though I am a very compassionate, caring person. I'm rather "outside the box" . And I have adapted very well to my new Appalachian mountain town, and am a true Mountain Mama now! I love living in this rural setting, and am learning the accent pretty quickly.
I have an online book club called Books and Life. You can check it out at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BooksandLife/
I have experienced many forms of grief first hand, including losing a one month old baby, having 7 miscarriages, losing both parents (I was age 20/23)and others. Through it all, I have learned compassion. I have a strong faith, though it is inclusive and based on love above all things.
