About

As a writer, I’m fascinated by the ways in which travel and spirituality intersect. Certain places have an almost magnetic pull on our souls, whether they’re to a holy site in a distant land or to a place of private meaning for a single person.

This blog is for people who want to take a journey that feeds their spirit. Included are suggestions for itineraries plus a potpourri of history, information, and personal reflections.

I’ve been a freelance travel writer for nearly thirty years and am a member of the Society of American Travel Writers and the Midwest Travel Journalists Association. My articles and essays have appeared in many publications and I’m the author of the memoir Holy Rover: Journeys in Search of Mystery, Miracles, and God. I’m also ordained as a deacon in the Episcopal Church.

Many of the photographs on this blog are taken by my husband, Bob Sessions.
