Carol is a 68-year-old, single, never married, Retired RN, native Minnesotan. She was professed as a Secular Franciscan in 2006. As a cradle Catholic, her faith is deeply rooted but has developed with age, study groups, reading, Franciscan formation and primarily life experiences many of which are powerful. Her friends have encouraged her for years to write down these experiences. However, with no place to share these stories, writing about them was pushed to the back burner. Only a few articles have been published in various newsletters or church bulletins.

When Carol learned of Catholic365, she felt that an answer to her prayers. A reason to do Catholic writing and sharing of powerful life experiences had been presented to her. She does not claim to be a professional writer by any means, but hopes that what she writes may in some way touch the lives of others, especially since her perspective is that of a single, older, female Catholic and retired health care professional.
