About the Author

Elizabeth Pannier has invested over thirty years teaching, counseling and leading retreats in communication, human relationships and caring for others in emotional need. Professionally, she was a psychotherapist who worked with individuals and led meditation and personal growth groups for many. She served as a leader in the Hospice movement in its growth in the 1980's and 1990's. After many years of giving support to others, she chose early retirement. She began to turn to writing more frequently as she stretched into her sixties. When she retired in her sixties, she and her husband chose to live a rural life in the peace and beauty of Central Wisconsin. Here she devoted more time to creating beautiful quilts and writing the stories about her family. Memoir became a genre that spoke to her. Eventually, she offered her services to a nearby Senior Center and has conducted classes in Memoir writing for five years. It is a perfect fit that combines her great love of literature and the human stories that we share while we learn to support each other in the telling of our personal stories. Elizabeth Pannier's life has been dedicated to walking with many people as they walk their life Journey. She knows that life is a circle and telling these stories and writing them down helps each of us to complete our journeys in a healing manner. It is this knowledge that led her to write "WALKING TOGETHER."
