For those who don’t know me beyond this blog I’d like to introduce myself! My name is Ann. I am a 40+, hetero-married, short blonde-haired, blue-eyed, girl & the mother of 3 precious and active young boys.

Besides writing here, I am an administrator of The Ministry of Progressive Christianity‘s Facebook page as well as this blog’s corresponding Facebook Page Not Just A Blonde.

I work part-time outside the home as an occupational therapist, certified hand therapist helping individuals heal from Orthopaedic diseases and injuries. Although my job is fast-paced and stressful at times, I do love working with people and helping them on their path towards healing.

As far as church goes I regularly attend a United Methodist Church. I teach Sunday School, occasionally lead a small group, and thoroughly enjoy Spiritual reading and reaching towards spiritual enlightenment & growth.

Although I’ve been a believer most my life, a few years ago, following a spiritual experience I went through a Spiritual awakening of sorts and now I see God (Jesus, Higher Power, the Holy Spirit) as a central part of my everyday life.

I cringe at the word religious because of all that has come to be associated with it… I consider myself more of a Progressive, unFundamentalist Christian that believes homosexuality is NOT a sin, that the Bible should not be interpreted literally nor without consideration to cultural context.

I believe God is Love and Love is the only thing that really matters in this life and in the life beyond! It is a privilege to be a source of inspiration to others by sharing positive words and thought provoking posts that cultivate more love in our lives!

Thank you for reading this blog & feel free to share your favorite posts (if you have any 😉) with your family & friends via Facebook, Pinterest, Tumblr or Twitter!

Keep sharing the love,

❤️Ann ‘Not Just A Blonde’
