When writing, she crafts books that she herself longs to read. She is a mother of three who loves to bake muffins, knit, and occasionally run a marathon. She considers herself to be a recovering perfectionist who likes her back-up plans to have back-up plans. With this in mind, she wrote <em>God, Improv, and the Art of Living<\/em>, which embraces improvisation as a spiritual and life practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Register at <a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/%20tJUqceChpjIsE9yQEerJ6LtJ406ReLz4UHmo\">https:\/\/zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/%20tJUqceChpjIsE9yQEerJ6LtJ406ReLz4UHmo<\/a>.
