What is the biggest opportunity for our Wellshire community?

Philippians 4:13 -- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Where do you find inspiration?
Usually I’m most inspired when I’m outside enjoying a beautiful day.  Climbing a big mountain, struggling on my bike to get over another pass, or sailing at sunset!  I also find great inspiration through my work with varying individuals and their quest for peace, strength, wholeness, and wellness! 

What are the things that make you happiest?
Days off having fun! David and I have always taken Fridays off together and we love to cycle all over Colorado.   Some of my happiest times have also been watching William play basketball and watching Meagan dance!

Cycling, hiking, sailing, or skiing.

What is one thing that very few people know about you?
