That’s a wrap! Four semesters later and I have achieved a Master of Arts in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy from Martin Luther University College at Wilfrid Laurier in Waterloo. So grateful for the learning and the opportunity to enrich my spiritual practices with such warm and wonderful classmates and caregivers. You’re never too old to follow your dreams.
