  • #38 - Cancer Survivor - Amber VonLiberty - "We Have Choice"

She now happily resides with her husband,  six pugs, two mini pigs, and one grumpy Scottish cat on their farm in West Virginia.

  • #36 - Stephen Minister - Mary Sheridan Floyd - "A Cup of Cold Water"

    Mary Sheridan Floyd is a self-described "dilletante’ and ‘sometimes practitioner’ of theological, metaphysical and Eastern philosophies," as well as a Stephen Minister to those in need of an ear without judgement. She also ran two programs through the Georgia Department of Corrections - one at a pre-release house for work-program eligible inmates. What she doesn't put on her resume is the fact that she's been the prescient witness to multiple deaths, as well as near-death situations, in which she instinctually knew what to do and helped save lives!

  • #32 - Civic Engineer - Rachel Feeck - "The Architecture of God"

    Rachel Feeck is a Gen-Z southwest native currently hiding out in Phoenix, AZ. As an engineer-in-training, her time is split between learning new things and realizing just how much there is that she doesn’t know. She tries now and then to listen to the news, but she’s more likely to be found reading an old fantasy book, where evil is black and white, and folks can discuss morality without the trappings of politics. She currently works for the city in transportation design to help plan  construction projects for projected population surges. For more, please visit her blog at: https://pascalesdragon.wordpress.com/
