Welcome!

I adore lions. I am fascinated by them and always wanted to see them in the wild.

In 2014 I was fortunate to receive a Lilly grant in order to take a sabbatical. In addition to a trip to Israel, I went to Kenya and met Shivani Bhalla and her team at Ewaso Lions in the Samburu region of Kenya. The mission of Ewaso Lions is to promote Human-Wildlife Co-existence with an emphasis on lion conservation. I thought I was going on a trip of a lifetime. Little did I know that I was making life-long friends.

Kenya became part of my soul and I have returned several times. I began this blog on my sabbatical as a way for the parish to follow me. I have kept it up on each return trip to Kenya. It has become a diary of journeys to a special place and special people.
