Barbara Rice teaches emotionally and behaviorally challenged teen boys. That's the easy job.
Barbara lives in the country west of Portland and finds beauty consuming: the beauty of God and nature, music - piano, composing, guitar, wishing she could sing... the beauty of creating written material, art, flower arranging, and the beauty of keeping her beater house from falling down.
Of course, among her passions is dancing - from worship dancing to social dancing. Front and center in her passions is doing inner healing with people, setting God up to be the counselor and watching his miracles of healing and connection.
