About Brenda Eckels Burrows, aMGC

When not writing for Convergent Streams, Brenda blogs at brendaanneckels.wordpress.com, is chief cook and bottle washer at Tender Mercies Ministry, and runs a Facebook group called Not All Catholics Are Roman...But All Catholics Are One (NACAR for short). She is a passionate advocate for domestic violence prevention, mental health care, and vegetarian cooking. Disabled since 1993, she has had careers in banking, mental health care, retail, information technology, and has owned several businesses. A lay Franciscan religious, she is an Old Catholic, a bride to be, a Steampunk fan, a Mom, and a Babka (Slovak for Granny). Brenda enjoys riding Black Cherry, a 2005 Harley Davidson Roadking, crafting, slam poetry, and getting dressed up to sing karaoke. She lives in a tiny cabin by a lake in Southern New Hampshire with her fiance Brian, dog Booker, and every other weekend the last of the kids, Jamie. The other 14 kids – which she categorizes as “my baked, bought, and borrowed’s” are scattered around the US in careers ranging from culinary to health care and lots in between.
