It was during high school that the direction of my life changed. Although I was raised as a Christian Scientist, it wasn’t until I experienced the joy of helping someone during a youth club outing that I finally understood what it took to love unselfishly. This set me on a new path. I became aware that nursing qualities of willing service, patience, gentleness, and compassion were expressed all around me as I grew up and that I wanted to live them, too. They’ve woven themselves into every activity I’ve undertaken since then.  

Lack of trust in what used to be reliable sources or entities is common today, but I believe that trust in God is a stronger foundation to base our lives upon. The unusual career path I’ve pursued points to this trust. Relying upon a deeper relationship with God naturally helps us support each other, and to better our world. All of us can contribute in this way as we engage in a deeper relationship with our divine source.
