Rev. Bonnie knew at age five she wanted to be a minister. She had planted a radish garden, in her backyard and used to sit by the garden, sing hymns to them and pray to God for their growth and well-being. One day, she got on her knees and told God she would grow up to be the minister. "I remember the day like yesterday. The song was All Things Bright and Beautiful." Rev. Bonnie took herself to the local Episcopal church where she was an active participant until she hit her mid-20s. Her undergraduate degree was in Religious Studies from the University of Puget Sound, and returning to the church she felt the message was too small. "I had studied all major world religions and came to believe in One God, One Source, and many paths toward experiencing It. I will always appreciate the Episcopal church -- I loved everything about it; and it was time to move on." This Universal belief system was a natural fit for the New Thought philosophy. Rev. Bonnie became a Religious Science Practitioner where she had a private practice in Seattle, Washington working with individuals who wanted to live from Principle. She attended The Holmes Institute and finished her studies with the great Rev. Vici Derrick; being ordained through Vici Derrick Ministries. Rev. Bonnie, moved by the value of forgiving in her life started, founded and lived The National Forgiveness Tour in 2004 - 2005. She is the author of the book Forgive Your Way to Freedom. She now resides in Arizona where she leads a God as My CEO laboratory and is the High Priestess of Joy (director) of Spirited Women. For more information go to www.wearespiritedwomen.org
