Janice L. Lundy, DMin

Nothing brings me more joy than connecting with a kindred spirit who is dedicated to deepening her/his unique relationship to the Sacred; to live more kindly and gently with others; to be guided by the Heart of Compassion so we may serve each other well, promote healing and hope, returning to the spirit of Oneness that flows through all.  

​I hope these thoughts have a special place in your heart too, and that we will connect soon, either online or in person, so we can continue the conversation ...

May you be well and at ease in your life.
​May Love hold you.
May it be so for all beings everywhere.
