I was born in Campbellton, New Brunswick during the “Great Depression”,
grew up in Coal Branch Kent County, and was raised in the Roman Catholic
tradition. My parents were of Acadian decent.
In 1998, as part of my quest for meaning, I was led to Sophia Center at Holy
Names University in Oakland California, where I studied what is being hailed as
the “New Cosmology” and Earth literacy. My two books, “Cosmic Fire/Local
Sparks: My Journey into the Universe Story” and “Beyond Theism: Journey from
Beliefs to Sacred Ground” reflect this ongoing earthly and spiritual quest.
I now reside in Moncton, New Brunswick, am a retired homemaker, writer and
past columnist for the Moncton Times & Transcript on “faith” with an evolving and
cosmic perspective titled “Hearts and Minds”.
