About Me

A scientist by training and a long time Bible teacher, Kelli lives in Los Angeles California with her husband Bill.

 

 

 
 
on my porch -

Irish Blessing:Come at evening or at morning, come when expected or without warning. A thousand welcomes you’ll find here before you. And the oftener you come, the more we’ll adore you.

 
 
 
in my home -

A beloved husband. Roses from my garden. Two dogs; Labradors (side-eye to the pup always in need of being “retrieved” from the neighbors)

 
 
 
on my nightstand -

Ursula K Le Guin, Emily Dickenson, Ibram X Kendi, F. Dale Bruner, Frederick Buechner and Krista Tippett along with a heart shaped rock (a seaside gift from one of my own during a trying time) and most of the greeting cards I’ve received this year.  A concerted effort on my part to let my eyes fall on messages of truth, love and hope in advance of the ever pinging  [heart] “breaking news”. 

 
 
 
on my walls -

Perpetually outdated photographs of my 3 adult children; the latest Avant-garde artwork by my favorite preschooler; and windows thrown open.

 
 
 
on my mind -

The “empathy expanders” among us
Great relationships
Great literature
Great art &
Great music. 

Define “great” you say? 

The ones that inspire impromptu dance parties…The ones that quell the surreptitious whispers of isolation that threaten to undo us all…
The ones the despots label ‘dangerous’…
And the ones that serve as agents of deliverance for the oppressed and eye-openers for the unaware.
