edit data

Elizabeth's circuitous career has taken her from published leprosy researcher to stay-at-home mother, to community activist and leader serving on nonprofit and corporate boards, to ham radio operator, to freelance writer/editor and blogger at Heartspoken.com.

Above all, she is a connector and encourager whose writing explores the four essential connections of the Heartspoken Life: with God, with Self, with Others, and with Nature. Her expertise and passion for note writing on display in her 2022 book comes at just the right time to touch a pandemic world desperately in search of connection.

Life Lessons From A Great Dad

I post this every year as a tribute to my wonderful Daddy on Father’s Day. On August 24, 2013, he “slipped the surly bonds of earth” and made his Great Escape in the wee hours of the morning. What a ride he had in his 95+ years, and how grateful I am for the gift of his life and love. This was originally posted in June, 2012.

Elizabeth’s Quotes

“Reality, in fact, is usually something you could not have guessed. That is one of the reasons I believe Christianity. It is a religion you could not have guessed. If it offered us just the kind of universe we had always expected, I should feel we were making it up. But, in fact, it is not the sort of thing anyone would have made up. It has just that queer twist about it that real things have. So let us leave behind all these boys' philosophies--these over simple answers. The problem is not simple and the answer is not going to be simple either.”
― C.S. Lewis
