The ability to listen deeply and to be present to those she companions fills her with great joy.  Lisa has found the practice of daily contemplation is an important part of her life. Whether reading inspirational books, poems, chants or working in her journal she realizes the importance of spending time in silence to hear the Spirit within her. She enjoys working in her gardens and in taking long walks with her four-year-old boxer Gracie. It is during these times that she finds herself giving thanks for the beauty of creation that she encounters all around her. Lisa has enjoyed providing retreat days of reflection and running various book clubs at Lourdes in Litchfield. Lisa and her husband Paul have been married for 45 years and have two adult children who live in Wyoming and Michigan. These are their favorite places to visit!
