Testimonials
Two times lately I found myself seriously stuck. Stuck once in terms of a personal project I didn’t know how to start, much less finish. Stuck again in managing an aspect of ministry that doesn’t come naturally to me. Cara came to the rescue both times! She has a way of mixing hard truth and warm compassion into a delicious cocktail of practical help. For wrestling big undertakings into manageable goals, as well as identifying the fine grain of interpersonal (and intrapersonal!) complexities, Cara is a trustworthy colleague, consultant, and companion. Next time I’m stuck, she’s my first call.
