Welcome to my personal blog. While you may have accessed it through the Healing Streams link…you will find musings, thoughts, discussions on a wide variety of topics of interest to me personally. I invite you to read, engage, interact with what you find here…I hope it will be encouraging, thought provoking, and real. We live in a world defined by the prefix “post” as in post-modern, post-Christian, post-evangelical, post-colonial, post-gender…I’ve been inspired this last year by verses from the biblical book of Isaiah – my friend Brenda calls it one of her “life verses” – I like that. The verses can be found in Isaiah 43.

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

Forget the former things is not a phrase I particularly like as a therapist – I find that clients often avoid addressing the former things that have shaped their unhealthy choices of today. However, while we often need to examine the past to understand the present, we do not need to “dwell” there. So, my pledge is not to define myself as a “post” person, but rather a new thing “becoming”. I hope this blog will be a reflection of NEW THINGS SPRINGING UP! Climb on for the ride…its likely to be both bumpy and exhilarating, mundane and breathtaking…and best of all its free! Welcome!
