Five years ago today, Jim and I (along with the cats) set out to live into the invitation of a lifetime, to be the directors of the Grünewald Guild, an art & faith retreat center in the Cascades of WA State.

The phrase from 2015 describes well what it’s like to be at the Guild: “infinitely free and anchored in creativity.”

“Seven Years of Wonder” is a daily look back at my creative journaling posts since 2014. I began this journey on Feb. 11, 2021, and hope to continue through Feb. 10, 2022. What am I learning about my art and faith journey thus far? What has remained constant? Where have I been changed? How is this impacting present and future art-making?

A deep bow of gratitude to you for keeping me company on this journey.
