She is also a spiritual director, the co-director of The Institute of Compassionate Presence, and has been a volunteer for Hospice for fourteen years. She lives in Des Moines, Iowa, USA.

Tip: to play videos smoothly without experiencing interruptions or pauses, allow the video time to load. Press pause after the video starts playing, and you will see a light red bar move along the bottom of the video screen to show you how much of the video is loaded, or buffered. Allowing the video time to buffer before you play it will help it run more smoothly!
