Sabbatical
Grace and peace,
Thank you for your message. I am currently away on a sacred sabbatical—an intentional season of rest, reflection, and spiritual renewal. During this time, I am stepping away from the noise to sit with God in stillness, to listen more deeply, and to be poured into so I may return refreshed and realigned with divine purpose.
I will not be checking emails during this period. If your matter is urgent, please contact SJ at (203) 624-1426.
Thank you for your patience and your prayers. May we all find moments to rest in God's presence and be reminded that even in stillness, the Spirit moves.
With Peace, Love, and Gratitude
