About Me

My photo
Pragmatic Mystic
I'm old enough to know better. I live somewhere in England, too far from the sea. I've been a teacher, a librarian, administrator, and am now freelance as I seek my vocation. Oh, I'm also a trained therapist and churchwarden. This multifaceted Catholic Anglican girl takes her hair down and her glasses off after work, dressing in anything from jeans to shalwar qameez to fishnets. Librarian and teacher in religious milieus I have been, but I am no wallflower: ask any of my clerical friends - I am NOT a good Catholic girl...in the best possible way.
