It took fifty years for her to finally answer the call, "YES LORD, Here I Am!" As it turns out, that "something" was an intentional and more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ through multiple initiatives including: a devotion to the Sacraments, a Contemplative Pilgrimage Ministry, a non-profit called Destined4This, Inc, Book Writing, A Blog and a podcast.
