About Us:
These diverse & lovely insects represent wonderful examples of surrender & eternal
life. For this reason butterflies are the Blessed Moment logo. The caterpillar
surrenders every-
We are called to surrender in much the same way in marriage. We give up our individual identities to become a “We” and fly. The death of the caterpillar is but new life for the butterfly. What better proof is there that death is an illusion. In “struggling” to free itself from its cocoon, the butterfly gains strength to survive. So, too, do we grow stronger by surrendering to life and making the best of each day.
Life is definitely speeding up and changing in dynamic new ways. You probably experience this as an ever increasing number of personal challenges and a shortage of time. “Partnering” is my version of “Practical” Spiritual counseling and /or Whole Life Coaching. It provides two different approaches to helping you move forward, find support, and gain that much needed perspective. To learn more, check out the Counseling /Partnering page.

I was ordained a minister /chaplain in 2004 by Spiritis Seminary. I completed my Doctor of Divinity degree in 2007. Since, I have performed numerous weddings, memorials, baptisms, provided Spiritual counsel, served as a hospice chaplain, grief counselor & bereavement coordinator.
I have spent considerable time contemplating what it means to be a minister, “reverend,” and Spiritual leader? This has been My real work helping me get significantly clearer concerning numerous issues. Spiritual Masters through the ages LIVED a simple message: unconditional love, acceptance, and forgiveness, especially of one’s self. This is a challenging, yet practical message for today. “Blessed Moment” is dedicated to these ideas, service, open and informed perspective, and devotion to the Absolute Spirit.

Memorials &
Celebrations of Life
Grief actually invites us to reevaluate what truly matters in life. Because we are unprepared it is often overwhelming. The intellectual and material emphasis of modern culture has separated us from the true nature of Being. My approach to grief counseling aims at assisting you in the process of healing this sense of separation and the feelings of loss that result. Learn about the support I can offer on the Memorials & Celebrations page under Grief Counseling.
In providing these services I emphasize a conviction in life after death. There is more information on the nature of these services & my perspectives on the “Memorials” page.
