I was born in Nicaragua into a Catholic family. I
have two adult daughters and I recently started my own business (and
labor of love), elderly home care, Peaceful Sunsets. I started
attending Annapolis, Maryland Meeting in the mid-eighties and later,
the Ft Myers, Fl Meeting. I moved to Gainesville November 2002 and
in February 2003 met Dick and Don at the corner of University and
13th St. while protesting the Iraq war. Both Friends invited me to
Meeting. I haven't stopped coming since! Although I've been
attending Quaker Meetings for some time, this past October I decided
to apply for membership to Gainesville Meeting. I finally felt ready
to commit my spirit to follow Quaker principles and to try to live my
life in the light of Friends' testimonies. Silent worship is
spiritually nurturing to me. I'm grateful to be a member of
Gainesville meeting and for the welcome this meeting has given me.
This is my spiritual home. You're my spiritual family. Peace on Earth |
Hi . I am Marilyn Muller writing about myself for the
new member section.
I started attending Gainesville Meeting with my boyfriend Philip Hall in November of 2001 and last fall I became a member. I love attending meeting because it rejuvenates my spirit. I enjoy fellowship with people who share my values and encourage me to live by them. Outside of meeting, I spend my time teaching math at Westwood Middle School and taking classes at UF toward my masters in special education. Next fall I'll start studying for my Ph.D. in special education, so Phil and I plan to stay in Gainesville for the near future. We even bought a house here last summer. Before moving to Gainesville I grew up in Orlando, went to college in Massachusetts and then worked in Boston and New York for four years. Boy, is it nice to be back to mild winters. Thanks for welcoming me into the meeting. |
