I will be a healer, and love all things that grow

As the Lady Éowyn learned to abandon pride and instead follow her love, Faramir, she became used to build and nurture instead of destroy. Here I devote myself to all that grows us in strength, joy, clear thinking and godliness.

About Me

Eowyn's Heir: A good ol' American mutt-- born in NM to an Irish-French good ol' Louisiana boy and a Guatemalan beauty, raised in the American South/Central France. Grew up speaking English, Spanish and French (plus the made-up language my sisters & I used; Aion). Thought I'd add to the medley by marrying into a Polish last name. I was hounded by the Lion of Judah, and He's left me desperately, deliciously trying to "grab ahold of the Golden mane" and go where He leads me. Part of that path is currently working out my salvation through the raising of my chubby-cheeked darling, Éowyn Grace. I spend most of my time with pre-schoolers (I teach pre-K) and thinking about music (music education was my major), health (I also was a pre-health student), and God. I also do a considerable amount of dealing with food, having to live with Celiac's disease & a soy intolerance.
