I have been a leader much of my adult life and been blessed with good spiritual directors. Often I am pouring love and encouragement into others…but have felt a vacuum of other people intentionally pouring into me. At times I have felt a need for an older woman before whom I could share my heart , hoping that she might nurture me, pray for me and help me grow into greater interior freedom. SMILE founder, Carol Marquardt is definitely one who has done this for me, and I joyfully do it for others.
