About Me

Lots of labels could describe me: mom, stepmom, wife, minister, spiritual companion, singer, Texan….

My plan is to offer spirituality groups and sessions for individuals to explore their particular spiritual path. At various times in my life I have been a wife and mom of two sons, a bank employee, a resident advocate in a shelter for battered women and their children, and a pastor since 1993. Let me know what interests you!

I love to read, sing, play my flute, and encourage spiritual growth. I meditate, sometimes zen-like, sometimes with poetry; practice yoga; and enjoy walks in the neighborhood or around the lake.

My husband and I live alone now that our children are on their own, mostly in different cities in California, Japan, and Texas. It’s always a delight when we get to see them. Austin is our home base.

  I live in Austin now, but went to graduate school in Dallas and currently work in Houston. Each city unique and interesting.

love your blog, Kathleen E. My sister, Beth Williamson, wanted me to let you know that Stuart Williamson died last Friday. They attended church with you in the Woodlands. The Thoreau Woods UU Church has details about the memorial service on their website. Thank you.
