I think during my upbringing in the Presbyterian Church, some called it the church of the big car. There were some wonderful people who called it home but it helped me see that you aren't a Christian unless you actually live as one. I was always much more interested in the parties — they bring people together.

I guess you want to know my spiritual interests? I would mostly affiliate with a Wicca & faerie tribe but I think the Quakers are pretty cool as well. I can't subscribe to the damage done to Jesus' name by so-called Christians who only seem to dress the part. Jesus is about L-O-V-E and does not banish anyone from the Church. Also, he doesn't take kindly to those who wage war against fellow humans or any living thing.

To stay open to what's really needed and be effective at whatever I do.

Waiting and politeness are just nice, You still have to make your life happen.

1. Live in the Moment.

2. Love is Love.

3. You have to go after your desires.

4. If you don't ask the answer is "no."

5. You have to move forward to get ahead, otherwise you remain in the same place.

Yikes! There have been quite a few.

I realize now how much I was a part of building our modern structures to allow the Order to bring world domination into fruition. I've done a lot of queer youth support projects and during those I realized we have to help our fellow nuns also get online or give a hand if they need.

In addition to five beautiful daughters and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, I have my share of adventures. I led the charge to produce the Sisters' AIDS quilt for the Nuns of the Above. As the Mistress of Archives I tried to use my energy to inspire all the orders to carry on the traditions of remembering our history. For LGBTQQ people our history has been continuously edited out of the records of human history. Queer people have been a part of every culture that is examined in depth. Statistically we are everywhere, in every country, and always have been. We are special and sacred and no amount of hate can ever defeat us. I believe we have to become part of the mainstream to even be counted and we have to make our own history and ensure it's recorded. So many people have died to ensure us our human rights - many of them at least - and we owe their legacy to not forget that we had to win the rights to love and marry who we choose, and we had to win spousal, family, employment, housing and all  other rights that the mainstream culture takes for granted. History will judge us on how we answered the call to serve humanity.

Eventwise I've produced dozens of events including the transformation of San Francisco's largest underground party, Pink Saturday, from a "non-event" (yuck) into a street partay which now raises thousands for queer charities and has an estimated quarter of a million people attending. I also helped the Order transfer out of Hallowe'en in the mid-1990's when we didn't have the support of the city. We felt we needed to celebrate in safety while still raising money for charity.

I've continually used my energies to bring attention to social issues including calling morally challenged politicians, right-wing-nuts, and those who kill for God, to the carpet. I continue to celebrate everyday heroes who stand up for human rights.

I'm also the Co-founder (with Sister Dana Van Iquity), and creative director of the Sister Sock Show that stages extra-alternative performances and spectacles. I co-founded the BLOW project — Beautiful Lips On Whistles, using a safety whistle as a symbol to confront hate crimes CAMPaign with Saint Hank Wilson and served as the the Co-director of the San Francisco AIDS Candlelight Vigil also with Saint Hank Wilson.

I continue to organize and produce alternative and counter-culture events.

As for positions in the order I have served quite a bit.
I was the Mistress of Communications for the Order and the Board, I was Mistress of Archives, Mistress of Grants, Board President for a brief time and led too many projects to list (even if I could remember them all).
