Cathy Fort Leyland
Spiritual Director, Writer
One of the best decisions I ever made was moving to Vancouver, British Columbia over 30 years ago. Upon discovering the hamlet of Deep Cove, its breathtaking beauty stirred something within me and erupted in a declaration, “If I lived here I could become a writer!” We couldn’t find housing in the Cove at the time, but the dream that birthed that day remained etched in my soul and 25 years later, it became a reality.
My husband, John, has lived on the water’s edge for over 20 years, and his family for more than 100 years. I’m a newcomer in the last decade. Retirement affords me time to feed my passions. Writing and spiritual direction top the list. I love to swim, stay active, dote on my grandkids, and connect heart-to-heart with friends.
In this space, I offer you soulful reflections to encourage your heart and deepen your faith; a place to find hope for the journey based on Truth from God’s Word.
Here’s to growing together,
