So you can tell I’ve been off on my posts from Italy. They are actually all written but not posted yet. I needed to recover emotionally and physically from the walk. Plus I had a reverse shoulder replacement 6 weeks ago that recuperating from.
However something happened 20 years ago yesterday that I had to write a short post about.
Yesterday was Bastille Day in France and 20 years ago I was in Paris with my middle daughter. My cousin got us tickets to watch the military parade down the Champs Elysees and in the evening we were at a champagne reception on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower watching the fireworks set to Mozart’s The Magic Flute.
It was indeed magical to celebrate Independence Day in my other familial country.
I am me, a person with love for others, a passion to be creative, and a desire to be a cheerleader for others. I’m a wife, a mommy, and a grandma (you can call me by my grandma name “Lady M”).
I’m on a search to grow and connect more fully with God. I didn’t grow up particularly church, married a man who had, and we raised our three daughters in the church. I found a place to belong in the church and somehow discerned a call to go to seminary. I received a Masters of Arts and Religious Communication (MARC). I went on to become ordained as a deacon in the United Methodist Church and served in media ministry and Christian education. As clergy I found that I didn’t have a place to belong in the church so I left the United Methodist Church in 2010.
I still believe and I’m still on a quest to draw closer to God. And I’m going to walk the Camino de Santiago.
